What are the nutritional benefits of including eggs in your keto diet?
While some people tend to give eggs a bad reputation for its cholesterol content, a comprehensive 2015 study found that generally, there is little direct connection of heart disease from the dietary cholesterol from eggs. In fact, there are some nutritional benefits to having an egg a day in your low carb egg diet that also help stave off the risk of heart disease.
Here’s why you can eat eggs while on keto:
- Protein is 6gms per egg on average.
- Choline, which is good for your nerves and brain.
- Biotin, which helps balance blood sugar, and strengthens hair.
- Contains Vitamin A, B, and D.
- Antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which is also good for keeping your eyes healthy.
What are the possible risks and things to keep in mind?
But like all good things, moderation is still key to a healthy keto diet.
Preparation also matters because while eggs are great to bake, mix into a salad, hard-boil, scramble with a hint of oil, or even combine with your scotch eggs; you’ll need to make sure that your eggs are organic and fresh.
Frying eggs up and combining them with heavily processed meats and without vegetables simply won’t do.
As with anything related to your diet and lifestyle, always consult your doctor before trying out any drastic shifts in your routine.
