Egg nutrition

Eggs are all natural and packed with a number of nutrients. One egg has lots of vitamins and minerals, high-quality protein and antioxidants, all for less than 100 calories. The nutrients in eggs can play a role in weight management, muscle strength, healthy pregnancy, brain function, eye health and more. At less than 15 cents apiece, eggs are an affordable and delicious breakfast option. The protein in eggs is the highest-quality protein found in any food.

A single large boiled egg contains:

• Vitamin A: 6% of the RDA.
• Folate: 5% of the RDA.
• Vitamin B5: 7% of the RDA.
• Vitamin B12: 9% of the RDA.
• Vitamin B2: 15% of the RDA.
• Phosphorus: 9% of the RDA.
• Selenium: 22% of the RDA.
• Eggs also contain decent amounts of Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, Calcium and Zinc.

Egg, particularly the yolk, are one of the top food sources of choline. Choline is one of the building blocks for acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in our "working memory" - our ability to store short-term memories.
