According to MSc. Dr. Nguyen Anh Duy Tung, Nutrihome Nutrition Center, eggs are beneficial for health and provide many nutrients. Each egg (approximately 50g) contains 72 calories, 6.2g of protein, 5g of fat, 1.6g of saturated fat, various vitamins (A, B2, B5, B6, B12, D, K), and minerals (phosphorus, selenium, calcium, zinc). The protein in eggs provides amino acids that are often lacking in other foods.

Healthy individuals can eat one egg a day to supplement essential nutrients and improve their health. However, people or families with a history of cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, dyslipidemia, or hypertension should only eat 2-3 eggs per week. Eggs have a relatively high cholesterol content, around 180-200 mg per egg, which can easily worsen these conditions.
All the cholesterol in eggs is metabolized and stored in the liver. People with hepatitis, fatty liver disease, elevated liver enzymes, cirrhosis, impaired liver function, etc., should only eat 2-3 eggs per week to avoid increasing the burden on the liver. People with gallstones should eat a similar number of eggs per week to avoid increasing the risk of gallstone formation.
People with these conditions can replace eggs with other food sources, and need to eat a full and varied diet to maintain nutritional balance. When preparing eggs, prioritize boiling and steaming; limit frying to reduce fat intake.
People with cardiovascular, metabolic, liver, or gallbladder diseases should consult a nutritionist for advice on a scientific diet suitable for their health condition.
