Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods on the planet.

The egg is considered a complete source of protein of high biological value, because it contains all nine essential amino acids in the correct proportions.

One egg has about 78 – 83 calories of which 6 – 8 gr. are protein and 5 gr. are fat. About 40% of the protein is in the egg yolk and 60% in the white.

Eggs contain about the same amount of protein regardless of whether they are consumed raw, boiled or cooked.

They also contain vitamin A, folate, pantothenic acid, vitamin B12, riboflavin, and selenium. They also contain vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin B6, calcium and zinc.

Eggs are a good dietary source of choline, an important nutrient often grouped with the B vitamins. Choline is also used in the construction of cell membranes, in memory and cognitive function. Choline deficiency can lead to cognitive dysfunction and possibly increase the risk of neurological disorders.

Eggs also contain two powerful antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin. Which are essential for the retina of the eye.

Eggs are high in cholesterol, with a single egg containing 186 – 230mg. They are usually not recommended for people who have very high blood cholesterol levels, although studies have shown that in 70% of people it did not affect the “bad” cholesterol (LDL) at all, while in 30% it increased it slightly, i.e. a statistically insignificant increase.

Their consumption can be up to 7 whole eggs per week in healthy people, up to 3 whole eggs in people with high cholesterol levels. Egg white does not affect blood cholesterol because it does not contain any cholesterol.

If no other proteins are consumed during the day, up to 15 egg whites are allowed per day.

Eggs are incredibly filling (especially boiled) and are therefore an important aid to people on a weight loss diet or who have difficulty eating the necessary five daily meals.


Practical shooting and eggs

Eggs are a great food for practical shooting athletes, as well as for all athletes.

The complete proteins they contain make them unbeatable for daily consumption at any meal of the day.

They are excellent for breakfast, especially boiled, before starting a long-duration match with many stages for the stomach stability, strength and satiety they offer.

Especially athletes who want to increase their muscle mass can consume up to 3 eggs per day.
