Is eating eggs regularly good for you?

According to Dr. Nguyen Trong Hung of the National Institute of Nutrition, eggs are a healthy food, rich in protein and containing many essential amino acids. Eggs also contain a lot of lecithin - a good fat that can regulate cholesterol levels in the blood. Therefore, healthy people without diseases can eat up to one egg per day.

Egg whites are fat-free and rich in minerals and nutrients such as niacin, potassium, riboflavin, and magnesium, making them good for health. Egg yolks contain less protein than egg whites, but they contain most of the vitamins A, B6, B12, and D, calcium, folate, and omega-3s, providing cholesterol and essential fatty acids. Therefore, egg yolks are considered more nutritious.

Not all eggs are created equal in terms of nutritional value. The nutritional value of an egg depends on its size. When you cook an egg, adding oil, butter, or eating it with bacon, sausage, or cheese, the calorie content of the egg increases significantly.

For those looking to lose weight, a breakfast of eggs can help you feel fuller than other foods, but you should still add 1-2 slices of bread, green vegetables, and fruit to ensure you get enough calories and don't feel hungry.

Children can eat one egg a day, which provides a rich source of choline, supporting their brain and cognitive development.

Many people believe that the high cholesterol content in eggs is harmful to health, especially for those with fatty liver disease, as it increases blood cholesterol levels. On average, people with fatty liver disease should only eat 2-3 eggs per week, and should eat boiled eggs instead of fried or scrambled eggs.

If you have fatty liver disease or elevated liver enzymes, especially those with moderate to severe conditions, it's best to replace eggs with healthier protein sources.
