HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -As discussed above, eggs are a low-cost, nutrient-dense food, providing 6.3 g of high-quality protein per egg with just 72 calories and low in saturated fat relative to other sources of high-quality protein [40].

Detailed explanation-2: -Egg whites are especially renowned for their high levels of protein, however yolk contains more on a gram for gram basis. Egg whites have 10.8g per 100g but are trumped by egg yolk which contains 16.4g per 100g. However, as there is more egg white volume than yolk in each egg, white grabs the protein spotlight.

Detailed explanation-3: -Along with milk, eggs contain the highest biological value (or gold standard) for protein. One egg has about only 72 calories, but 6 grams of high-quality protein, 5 grams of fat, and 1.6 grams of saturated fat, along with iron, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids.
