The Smart Math Behind Eggs: Nutrition, Value and Everyday Meals 

Did you know eggs are one of the most valuable sources of protein, packing health benefits, convenience and nutrition all in a single shell?

Just one large egg contains six grams of high-quality protein and eight essential vitamins and minerals – all for only 70 calories. With the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s updated definition of “healthy,” eggs now join fruits and vegetables as foods recognized for supporting healthy eating and helping people make informed dietary choices.

In other words, eggs punch way above their weight, not only for nutrition, but value too! Whether incorporated into a simple breakfast, a family dinner or a sweet treat, eggs remain a reliable, versatile ingredient you can count on.
