Eggs are nutritional powerhouses! They pack a whole lot of goodness into their little shells. Here's a breakdown of some of the key nutrients you'll find in an egg:

Macros:

Protein: A single large egg (50g) boasts around 6 grams of high-quality protein, making it a complete protein source containing all essential amino acids.
Fats: Contrary to popular belief, most of the fat in an egg (5.3 grams) is healthy and unsaturated – good for heart health. The yolk also contains cholesterol (212mg), but dietary cholesterol has a minimal impact on blood cholesterol levels for most people.
Carbs: Eggs are very low in carbs, containing only about 0.6 grams per egg.
Micronutrients:

Vitamins: Eggs are a rich source of several vitamins, including vitamin A (important for vision and immune function), vitamin B2 (riboflavin) – crucial for energy metabolism, vitamin B12 (essential for nerve function), vitamin D (for bone health) and choline (vital for brain health).
Minerals: Eggs are also a good source of minerals like phosphorus (for bone health), selenium (an antioxidant), iodine (for thyroid function) and iron (for oxygen transport).
Additionally:

Antioxidants: The yolk is packed with antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which protect eye health.
Choline: Eggs are one of the best dietary sources of choline, a nutrient essential for brain development and function.
Different parts of the egg:

Yolk: Contains most of the fat, cholesterol, vitamins A, D, E, and K, choline, and antioxidants.
White: Mostly protein, with some riboflavin and selenium.
Remember, these values are for a single large egg. Depending on the size and cooking method, the exact nutrient content may vary slightly.

So, if you're looking for a nutrient-packed and versatile food to add to your diet, eggs are a great choice! They're affordable, delicious, and easy to prepare in countless ways.

Do you have any specific questions about the nutrients in eggs, or how to incorporate them into your diet? I'm happy to help!

Kindly Read....When layer birds, such as chickens, start to lay eggs, it is a sign that they have reached sexual maturity. This typically occurs between 16 and 24 weeks of age. The process of egg laying is called ovulation, and it occurs every 24-26 hours, regardless of whether the hen has mated or not. The yolk, which is the yellow part of the egg, is released from the ovary and travels down the oviduct, where the albumen (egg white) and shell are added. The entire process of egg formation takes about 26 hours.

Here is a more detailed look at what happens when layer birds start to lay eggs:

Ovulation: The yolk is released from the ovary.
Albumen formation: The yolk travels down the oviduct, where the albumen (egg white) is added. The albumen is made up of about 90% water and 10% protein. It helps to protect the yolk and provides nutrients to the developing embryo.
Shell formation: The egg continues to travel down the oviduct, where the shell is added. The shell is made up of calcium carbonate and other minerals. It protects the egg from damage and allows it to exchange gases with the environment.
Laying: The egg is laid from the hen's cloaca.
