0.36g

carbohydrate per one large egg

Under 0.5 g of carbohydrate

A whole egg contains about 0.36 g of carbohydrate. Swapping starch-heavy breakfast foods for eggs is associated with more stable blood glucose through the morning, avoiding the energy dip.

20-30%

thermic effect of protein per protein calories consumed

Protein costs 20 to 30% to digest

Protein uses 20 to 30% of its own calories during digestion, far more than carbohydrate (5 to 10%) or fat (0 to 3%). This thermic work extends the feeling of fullness after eating.

72kcal

energy per one large egg

72 kcal, complete protein

Few foods deliver protein as efficiently as an egg. At 72 kcal for 6.3 g of complete protein, eggs offer an unusually high protein-to-calorie ratio for a genuinely filling breakfast.
