Eggs have been eaten by humans for thousands of years. The female animals of many different species produce eggs, but the most common choice for consumption is the egg of the chicken.

Egg white consists primarily of about 90% water into which is dissolved about 10% proteins (including albumins, mucoproteins, and globulins). Unlike the yolk, which is high in lipids (fats), egg white contains almost no fat, and carbohydrate content is less than 1%.

Eggs provide a great source of protein, and protein is an extremely powerful component of any fat-loss or muscle-building diet. You can't go wrong with this highly-nutritious food. Eggs are rich in tryptophan, selenium, iodine, vitamin B2, phosphorus, vitamin B5, vitamin D and many micronutrients.

Eggs are a versatile food that can be prepared in many different ways, such as frying, hard boiling, poaching, scrambling, and baking. This makes eggs quite simple to incorporate into a diet.

EGG SHOULD BE A PART OF DIET DAILY. EITHER IN THE FORM OF POWER PACKAGED BREAKFAST, SNACKS OR DESSERT.
