Eggs & Egg Substitutes: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Eggs and Egg Substitutes include whole eggs, liquid egg products, and egg white-based options. Whole eggs are a natural source of protein and several vitamins and minerals. When choosing whole eggs, the Nutrition Facts label provides details on protein, total fat, and saturated fat. The impact of dietary cholesterol from eggs on blood cholesterol levels is complex for most healthy individuals. Egg substitutes are often made primarily from egg whites, sometimes with added ingredients to mimic the texture and flavor of whole eggs. For these products, check the ingredient list for egg whites as a main component. Also, review the Nutrition Facts label for sodium content, as some processed egg substitutes may contain added sodium. The FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 milligrams per day. Look for products with lower amounts of saturated fat and minimal added ingredients to align with a balanced eating pattern. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
