We will start with the obvious, what is actually in an egg. Then we will go on to why we recommend it so highly and finish with some simple and delicious recipes for you to try.

Nutrition: 
One large egg contains 78 calories which comes with 6g of protein and 5g of healthy fats. One egg will also supply your body with nutrients and antioxidants such as Vitamin A, vitamin B5, vitamin B12, vitamin D and zinc

Eggs increase your HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol). Having high levels of HDL cholesterol is highly beneficial for overall health

Donโ€™t waste your money on all these fancy supplements. Eggs are filled with protein and essential amino acids, which makes them perfect for anyone trying to lose weight and gain muscle.

Due to the high protein and fat content, eggs are very filling and will keep your body feeling full for a long period of time making it easier to resist snacking on any extra unneeded calories

Convenience:
