Eggs are a universal product: they can be fry, cook, add to salads and soups, or serve as an independent dish. Many people eat several eggs a day, not even knowing whether they cause damage to their body. It turns out that frequent use of eggs in food causes some changes and entails consequences. In this article, you will learn what exactly is contained in one egg, as often, it can be used, and what will happen if you cost this recommendation to the Party.
What is contained in one egg
A set of trace elements and vitamins is the same in each egg, but their number directly depends on the weight of the product itself. Do not forget that chicken eggs are sold different categories: from small eggs of the third category to large - the highest. On average, the weight of one boiled egg is 50 grams without a shell.
Now take a look at the list of elements in the egg per 100 grams of its weight:
- Most of all in the egg water. It is 75 grams of all 100 grams.
- Next goes protein. His weight is about 12 grams.
- Approximately the same weigh fats - 11 grams.
- There are practically no carbohydrates in the egg, they constitute only 0.8 grams.
- After that, there is cholesterol, vitamins and trace elements.
If you split all the data received in half, then you will learn the chemical composition of one egg.
The harmful consumption of eggs
First of all, it is cholesterol. At least this element and shares conditionally on the "bad" cholesterol and "good", it can still apply some damage to the body, especially if you have problems with the content of this substance.
One egg contains approximately 280 mg of pure cholesterol. Its concentration is contained in the yolk. If you completely remove the yolk of the egg, then it will not remain cholesterol at all.
Also on a day, a person is not recommended to consume more than 2 grams of protein for one kilogram of body weight, that is, you need to carefully follow how much you ate egg protein per day.
The other elements are useful or harmless to the human body. They may be prohibited only in the case of individual intolerance.
How many eggs you can eat in a day
It is best to calculate the individual upper threshold for themselves.
- For example, a person weighing 60 kg can consume up to 120 grams of protein a day without harm to health. If you exceed the norm, it would entail a failure in the normal operation of the stomach. Also, excessive consumption of protein leads to the formation of kidney stones.
- If one egg about 12 grams of protein, the maximum will be 10, the average weight of the eggs. Remember, this is the maximum threshold of protein. Of course, ten eggs is too much when you eat and egg yolk cholesterol and fats.
Experts recommend eating 4-6 eggs a week, so you better eat one egg a day, sometimes passing tricks. In a study on the dangers of eggs currently on the body carried out repeatedly, and they all confirmed the harmlessness of the product, if you rationally think the harm of protein.
We can say that the consumption of eggs is reduced to the golden rule: "It is useful when the measure". Do not exclude them from your diet, but do not let overeating.
