Are Eggs Nature's Best Diet Foods Friend?

By Rose Miccolis

Eggs are the near perfect diet foods found in nature! It is shock full of vitamins, minerals and amino acids with just the right amount of lean protein. Don't skip the egg yolk - it's one of the best parts of the egg. The yolk is where most of the nutrients are found. Their versatility is great for dieters and people who want to eat healthy. The power packed amount of nutrients found in such a little low 75 calorie egg is unbelievable!

You will find so many different kinds of eggs in the dairy section. Free range, brown and white shelled - how do you know which one to chose? When considering, remember that the brown shelled eggs were laid by large hens and the white eggs were laid by the smaller hens. That's the only difference! One is not nutritionally better than the other. The reason the brown eggs are usually priced higher is because it takes the farmer more grain to feed the larger hens. Therefore, the price of the eggs the hen lays are more expensive!

The colors of the yolk differ too by what the hen has eaten. If they are raised on corn the yolks will be darker. If they are lighter they were feed wheat. Whatever the color - their nutritional content still remains the same. They are both shock full of vitamins and minerals.

Pay attention to the sell by or expiration date when buying eggs to make sure they are fresh. Sometimes it is printed on the egg itself. Other times it is on the carton. Also, open the carton and check for cracks.

How do you know if an egg is fresh? Put an egg in a glass of water and to see if it floats. If it floats it's not any good and you shouldn't eat it. If it sinks to the bottom if is safe to eat.

Eggs are the most versatile food I know of. You can hard boil them, bake them in a quiche or fry them hard or soft. The possibilities are endless for some of the best low calorie diet foods around. When you want lean nutritional protein-- reach for an egg. - 17273
