Eggs are a great source of lean protein, which helps add protein to your diet. They’re also an excellent source of choline, which plays a critical role in the production of acetylcholine –the neurotransmitter that controls memory, muscle movement, and mood.

Eggs are an excellent source of protein, vitamin B-12, choline, and vitamin D. They’re also a good source of magnesium and phosphorus. Egg yolks provide the most amount of choline per serving. 

A large egg has about 23 grams of protein (about 8 grams in each egg white), whereas only 7 grams are in an equivalent portion of red meat or poultry. Some other nutrients found in eggs include thiamine, riboflavin, iron, and zinc.

Eggs are a great source of protein, along with several vitamins and minerals. 

As well as helping you feel fuller for longer, eating eggs provides you with the full range of amino acids and the micronutrients that your body needs to help build muscle or support optimal brain function.

 Many people believe that a large egg contains more cholesterol than other types of breakfast foods such as muffins, bagels, or toast, but while they contain a small amount of saturated fat they also have an amount of good bi-carbohydrate cholesterol and are good for you.
