Eggs Are Super Low Calorie Diet Foods!

By Rose Miccolis

Eggs aren't as bad as people once thought. In fact, eggs are one of Mother Nature's finest low calorie foods. They are superior in nutritional value and high in all the amino acids to build the best lean protein available. The albumen, which is the white part, is where the protein is found and the yolk is where all the vitamins and minerals are found. This makes it a near perfect diet food.

Whether you get white or brown eggs it doesn't matter. The nutritional quality of either color is the same. The brown eggs were laid by large hens and the white eggs were laid by the smaller hens. Also, if they have lighter yolks they were fed wheat, and if their yolks are darker they were fed corn. No matter what the color of the yolk, the nutritional value is the same superior quality.

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.

The sell by date is more important to read than the grade size. All consumable eggs are graded A, AA or AAA. Always remember to open the crate to check for cracks.

You can tell how fresh they are by sticking one in a glass of water. If it floats -it's no good. Don't eat it. If it sinks, it's a keeper!

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. - 31875
