Health Benefits of Eggs

Don't be like this minion and get side tracked. We are going to discuss how eggs can help our health.
 
For folks looking to get lean and improve their health I have found eggs to be a great low calorie protein rich choice in working to high my daily macros goals. One egg is roughly 70 calories, contains about 5 to 6 grams of protein and has no sugar or carbs.  This is an awesome nutrient density which means you can get a well-rounded macro selection without looking and feeling round.  Tips & Tricks Did you know that in most cases folks that consumed eggs for breakfast consumed up to 300 fewer calories throughout the day compared to those folks that ate a high carbohydrate breakfast?
 
 
If you are old enough to remember this, at one time folks were claiming that the consumption of eggs was bad for your health in fear of dietary cholesterol.  It is important to note that cholesterol in our regular food intake doesn’t necessarily raise cholesterol in our blood. God designed our bodies in a wonderful way. The body yearns for good sources nutrition. We know that our liver produces large amounts of cholesterol every day. When we eat more eggs, the liver produces less cholesterol and balances things out. Eggs help raise our “Good” cholesterol in most healthy adults. Now after over 30 years of research it has been proven that healthy adults can in fact enjoy eggs without greatly impacting their chances of heart disease. In fact consummation of high amounts of over processed foods now a days has more folks at a greater risk of health concerns than ever before.  Salt Sugar Fat If we really want to find out the cause of our growing obesity epidemic we need to look closer at the food industry instead of a chicken.
 
In my opinion eggs are pretty much one of nature’s perfect foods. I still wonder what made the first person crack an egg and eat it, but I am glad they did.
