We will start with the obvious, what is actually in an egg. Then we will go on to why we recommend it so highly and finish with some simple and delicious recipes for you to try.

One large egg contains 78 calories which comes with 6g of protein and 5g of healthy fats. One egg will also supply your body with nutrients and antioxidants such as Vitamin A, vitamin B5, vitamin B12, vitamin D and zinc
