Good Lifestyle

One of the most affordable protein foods there are, eggs are consumed by people around the world, including Brazil. This food, which is part of the diet of individuals from different social classes, is indispensable for many people seeking muscle mass gain.
Although they are widely studied, many still question whether eggs are healthy foods. Most recent research already demonstrates that egg consumption in moderation has positive health effects, as they are rich in various nutrients needed for our body.
However, some preparations may end up doing more bad than well, and in this article you know some healthy ways to prepare eggs and others that should be used in moderation.

1. Healthy: Pochê Egg

Starting the list with a slightly more complicated but still delicious preparation that of Pochery eggs. In this type of cooking, the egg is broken in a pan of boiling water. Clara cook quickly, while the yolk remains soft.
The good side of this method is that, as the egg is being cooked directly in the water, you consume all nutrients without adding anything, such as oil, excess salt or anything else. Not to mention that this is an alternative for those who have tired of eating fried egg every morning.

2. Not so healthy: fried egg

A fried egg on a slice of bread with butter is one of the most beautiful things that exist, but unfortunately it is this method that destroys, in part, the nutritional purpose of the egg.
When we fry the egg in oil or butter, we are adding fat to the food (in the case of butter, saturated fat) and increases the calories of the egg, which is something many people want to avoid.
Addition of fats ends up increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, especially if you overdo it. With frying, eggs are usually cooked at high temperatures, causing the oxidation of used oil. Oxidized oil consumption can cause inflammation in the body. Thus, it is recommended to consume the fried egg in moderation (or at least include vegetables and grains to balance the meal).

3. Healthy: boiled egg

According to the US Department of Agriculture, a large boiled egg contains 78 calories, 5g of fat, 62mg of sodium, 0.6g of carbohydrates, 6g protein and 0.5g of sugar. Much of the protein is in the white, where there are 4 to 5 grams of this nutrient and practically 0g of fat.
As the egg is cooked in water, you are not adding anything potentially harmful and gains all the nutritional benefits of the food. Not to mention that the boiled egg is easy to prepare and delicious.

4. Not so healthy: breaded egg

This is not a common preparation, but it exists and we need to mention. Emphanaing anything and then frying in the oil is a guaranteed way to make it a little less healthy, and with eggs this is no different.

5. Healthy: omelette

Although it is possible to overdo the butter to make an omelet, this is not necessary. Omeletes can be one of the most nutritious preparations in the world if you use varied spices and vegetables such as stuffing.
Adding tomatoes, spinach, grated carrots and other nutritional fillings can turn a simple omelet into a complete meal.

6. Not so healthy: scrambled egg

Already avoiding generalizing, the scrambled egg can be done completely healthy, yes, as long as it is in a nonstick pan, with little added salt and fat. However, this is not always the case, and in many situations the scrambled egg can be more harmful than good for health, especially if you put a lot of butter or even curd at the end.
It is therefore important to leave this kind of preparation for special occasions. An example is the holidays. Do you know those scrambled hotel eggs? In many cases, excessive oil, butter or margarine is added so that the egg has that velvety texture.
