Eggs are one of the most popular ways to consume protein.

An average medium-sized egg contains about 6.4g of protein – over 10% of an adult’s recommended daily intake of protein per day. Not only having a high content of protein, eggs contain antioxidants and only trace carbs placing it high in the satiety index making it an ideal breakfast choice. 

An egg can also be a way of increasing omega 3 intake if the hens have been fed flaxseed in their diet.
