Eggs vary in size and contain different calories. The weight of eggs generally ranges from 40 to 70 grams. A raw egg of about 50 grams contains about 70 calories, and a cooked egg contains about 78 calories. , scrambled eggs contain approximately 95 calories, fried eggs contain approximately 90 calories, egg yolks contain approximately 55 calories, and egg whites contain approximately 17 calories.

Whether eating eggs will make you fat:

Women who are losing weight will worry that eggs will make us gain weight. In fact, as mentioned above, the caloric content of a single egg is about 70 calories, which requires us to It can be consumed by walking slowly for about an hour. If you don’t eat more, it will not cause you to gain weight. Therefore, eggs are indispensable in our diet, but we must also pay attention to the amount of consumption!

Eggs Can you breathe:

Yes! We found that eggs generally have one big end and one small one, and the big end is the main place where the egg breathes, called the air chamber.

The intuitive feeling is that when we eat boiled eggs, we find that there is always a concave place on the big head, and that is it.

It is specially used for unhatched chicks to breathe. For fresh eggs, the air chamber is no more than 3 mm, so the larger the air chamber, the less fresh and tasty the eggs will be. In addition, because of the existence of the air chamber, when we put eggs, we should put the big head on the top, so that the egg yolk can stick to the bottom of the air chamber and prevent bacteria from penetrating through the pores to contaminate our eggs.

Egg storage:

First of all, it is best not to wash them. Eggs have a "surface membrane" that prevents bacteria on the eggshell from entering. Washing with water may destroy this natural protective film, and bacteria and other microorganisms can penetrate through the water, and microorganisms in the water may also live and grow in the eggshells, so relatively speaking, it is better not to wash with water. However, if there are hairs or chicken droppings on the eggshell, and you are mysophobic, you can still wash it, but it is recommended to cook and eat it as soon as possible after washing~

It is also best to put it in the refrigerator. An experimental group in Taiwan conducted an experiment, using AA, the highest quality grade for eggs, as the standard. The passing score is 72 points. If the eggs are stored at room temperature for 14 days, the score drops to 75 points. After 21 days, the grade drops below AA grade. But if it is stored in the refrigerator, even if it is stored for 21 days, the quality will be very good, with a score of above 90 points.

Local eggs and newborn eggs:

Currently there is no clear standard definition of native eggs and newborn eggs. Free-range eggs are eggs laid by free-range chickens in the natural environment. Because they are free-range, they mainly eat bugs, weeds, etc. Therefore, when we eat free-range eggs, we sometimes feel that they taste particularly good and have an eggy flavor. There may be differences in cholesterol, carbohydrates, etc. between them and ordinary eggs, but overall there is not much difference.

Newborn eggs refer to the first clutch of eggs laid by a hen within 30-60 days before laying. They are usually less than 50 grams each and are very small. This kind of egg seems to be very popular in China, but overseas, it is forbidden to sell it because it is not heavy enough. Some people claim that newborn eggs are the essence of hens, and some even compare them to smart eggs. However, in fact, after many experimental tests, its nutritional value is not much different from ordinary eggs.

How to cook eggs with the least calories:

Poached eggs have relatively low calories among all methods. It is not only conducive to weight loss, but also ensures the original juice of raw eggs. The original flavor is the best choice for breakfast.

Method: Wash the eggshells, put them into a pot, add cold water and uncooked eggs, bring to a boil and the eggs will float until they are cooked.

Tea eggs: Tea eggs are pickled with a variety of seasonings, such as tea leaves, star anise, cinnamon, soy sauce, pepper and salt. When boiling eggs, add an appropriate amount of tea leaves, which gives the eggs a light tea aroma. When cooking tea eggs, boil the eggs until they are medium-cooked, then gently crack the eggshells. At this time, the egg whites have solidified, and finally put them in the soup to soak in the flavor.

Preserved eggs: If you like to eat preserved eggs, you need to pair them with ginger and vinegar, which not only enhances the freshness.

Steamed egg custard: Steamed egg custard is in a semi-liquid state. Compared with tea eggs and boiled eggs, steamed egg custard is especially suitable for children and the elderly. When steaming eggs, use low heat to avoid steaming. Too many bubbles appear during the process, thus affecting its smoothness and tenderness.

Braised eggs: Braised eggs are marinated and taste delicious.
