Fried eggs are delicious and nutritious. Cooking them in a pan gives them a fluffier texture and a richer flavor. They pair perfectly with toast, vegetables, or a classic breakfast of beans and potatoes.
However, their health benefits depend heavily on how they are prepared. If you fry them in a little olive oil or avocado oil, they can still be a healthy choice. On the other hand, if you use a lot of oil or unhealthy fats, you increase your intake of saturated fats and calories, which is bad for the heart.
On average, a fried egg cooked with fat contains about 90 to 100 calories. That’s a little more than a soft-boiled egg, but still relatively low compared to other breakfast foods like pasta or sugary cereals.
Which option should I choose?
The answer depends on your personal goals and lifestyle. If you’re looking to lose weight, lower your cholesterol, or limit your fat intake, hard-boiled eggs are a better choice: they’re light, easy to digest, and provide sustained energy.
If you’re looking for flavor, texture, and variety, fried eggs can be more appealing. Simply cook them with minimal fat and serve them with healthy toppings like whole-wheat bread, avocado, or steamed vegetables. For even better results, you can mix things up: have hard-boiled eggs for breakfast as well.
week and treat yourself to a fried egg from time to time when you’re feeling a little more adventurous.
