Breakfast For Champions

They’ve been called it all:

Nature’s multivitamin, a deadly cholesterol bomb, or the muscle-building staple every old-school bodybuilder swears by. 💪 

Whether scrambled, boiled, or poached - eggs are viewed as a global breakfast for champions.

They’re cheap, quick to cook, and packed with nutrients… yet they are still stuck in the middle of every food debate. 👀 

So what’s the real deal with eggs?

Should you be eating more (or fewer) of them?

Let’s break it down. 👇

Main Course 🥙

Life In A Shell

What are eggs?

Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods on the planet. 🌍️ 

Commonly laid by chickens, they come in a neat 3-in-1 package:

  • The shell - nature’s protective outer layer

  • The egg white - packed with protein

  • The yolk - loaded with healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals

Why do people eat them?

Because they're quick, not expensive, and ridiculously good for you. ✔️ 

One large egg delivers about 6-7 grams of complete protein (yes, the perfect amino acid profile) and just 70 calories.

The yolk is also one of the few natural sources of vitamin D, plus it is stacked with many vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. 💊 

What is the biggest myth about eggs?

For decades, eggs got a bad rap for being “cholesterol bombs”. 💣️ 

But the cholesterol in food ≠ the cholesterol in your blood.

The real culprit? Saturated fat

In fact, eggs may even help improve your cholesterol profile. 👀 

What are the benefits of consuming eggs?

Eggs are known to

  • boost eye health 👁️ 

  • improve HDL (good) cholesterol

  • lower triglyceride levels 📉 

  • support heart health ❤️ 

  • increase choline levels (essential for brain health) 🧠 

  • help with weight management ⚖️ 

👩‍🍳 Chef Tip: For most people, eating a couple of free-range eggs a day isn’t just safe - it’s a smart move for your health.
