For ages, egg has been considered as the ultimate component of the 'hearty' breakfast, but some facts about them beg for moderation when it comes to cracking. Let's see.
Calories in Egg Yolks
Remarkably, egg yolk has a very high cholesterol content, a single egg has more than two-thirds of the recommended daily amount of 300 mg. While this means not to abuse, consider also that the yolk has many health strengths good for immunity, healthy skin, nerves and vision as it carries nutrients such as B Vitamins, Vitamin A, iron and riboflavin.
Calories in Egg Whites
On the other side, egg whites have low caloric content. They have no fat, no cholesterol, and are loaded with protein.
Approximate calorie count based on one large egg:
Egg White: 16-18 calories
Egg Yolk : 55-60 calories
Fried Egg: 90-95 calories
Hard-Boiled Egg: 75-78 calories
Poached Egg: 75-78 calories
Scrambled Egg: about 100 calories (if made with milk)
