Nutrition Summary
Contains a lot of EPA which is known to lower cholesterol. The egg is an inexpensive source of high-quality protein (about 6 grams in a large egg) and an important source of riboflavin and selenium., as well as some iron. These attributes should make it one of nature's near-perfect foods, but the egg has one drawback: Its yolk contains about two-thirds of the total suggested daily maximum intake of cholesterol.
