Whole egg

Green: Usually a good choice

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.

Individual tolerance varies. This rating is general educational guidance, not a statement that this food is medically safe or unsafe for you. Follow advice from your prescriber or registered dietitian.
