Eggs!

Seems like a good time to mention that eggs can be a good source of energy.  A boiled egg has about 70 calories, 6 grams of protein and very little saturated fat.  Though the egg does have cholesterol - about 187 mg - blood cholesterol is more often associated with a high saturated diet - a diet high in red meat and fried foods.  So in moderation and without frying, the egg can be a great addition to your menu.  (BTW - for a gazillion reasons I would not recommend raw eggs, but one of them is that there is more cholesterol in raw than hard boiled eggs)
To learn all about what is in an egg, check out this web link.  Enter the word egg in the search box and then pick the type you'd like to investigate.



Happy Easter to those who Easter
