Eggs are:
- Budget-friendly
- Quick to cook
- Adaptable to any cuisine
- Perfect for meal prep
Whether you’re making a veggie-packed frittata or a simple boiled egg, they’re a nutritional shortcut to a balanced meal.
7. 🌱 Sustainable & Ethical (When Sourced Right)
Compared to many animal proteins, eggs have a relatively low environmental footprint — especially when sourced from pasture-raised, local hens.
Look for labels like:
- Pasture-raised (hens roam freely and eat natural diets)
- Certified Humane or Animal Welfare Approved
These eggs also tend to have higher omega-3s and vitamin D.
⚠️ What to Watch For: Rare Risks & Who Should Be Cautious
While eggs are safe for most, a few people should be mindful:
1. Cholesterol Sensitivity
- About 15–25% of people are “hyper-responders” — their cholesterol levels rise more than average when eating dietary cholesterol.
- If you have a history of high cholesterol or heart disease, talk to your doctor — you may want to moderate intake.
