Protein
Whole egg
Generally a good choice when whole egg is prepared simply and eaten in a comfortable portion.
Why it received this rating
Eggs provide compact, high-quality protein and several vitamins. A boiled, poached, or lightly scrambled egg is usually easier than an egg fried in a lot of butter or oil.
Portion and preparation guidance
Start with one egg; add egg whites if you need more protein without much extra fat.
Symptoms or considerations
The yolk contains fat, so multiple eggs plus cheese or sausage may feel heavy during nausea.
