What Health Benef its DoEggs Offer?One egg has 13 essential vitamins and minerals in varying amounts, high-quality protein, and antioxidants—all for 70 calories. Eggs are an excellent source of choline and selenium and a good source of high-quality protein, vitamin D, phospho-rus, and riboflavin. The nutrients in an egg can play a key role in weight management, muscle strength, healthy pregnancy, brain function, and more.
