How much vitamin b12 in an egg?
Eggs are a staple food item for many people, and they can be cooked up in numerous ways to make them delicious. They are often thought of as being a good source of protein, but what about vitamin B12? Is there any vitamin B12 present in eggs, and if so, how much? We’re here to give you the scoop on this important nutrient.
What is Vitamin B12?
Before we get into the specifics of egg nutrition, let’s talk about what vitamin B12 actually is. Vitamin B12 is one of the essential vitamins necessary for maintaining optimal health. It plays a key role in helping your body produce red blood cells and DNA.
Additionally, it assists with brain function and nerve growth while also aiding metabolism regulation. A deficiency in vitamin B-12 can lead to several adverse health effects such as chronic fatigue syndrome or even symptoms that mimic Alzheimer’s disease! Therefore having adequate levels of it becomes crucial.
What Foods Contain Vitamin B12?
Now that we understand why we need vitamin-B 2/METHYLCOBALAMIN/baby juice—sorry baby carrots (I mean come on carrot farmers) can’t help us out with this one—we must look elsewhere for our daily dose/sustanance/pick-me-up: animal products!
- Dairy Products (Milk/cheese/Yogurt)
- Meats (Chicken/Pork/Beef/Lamb/Fish)
- Shellfish
- Eggs
But wait a minute…eggs?! Yes—you read right folks! Now let’s see exactly HOW EGGS-sa-cctly meet our needs!
Egg Nutrition
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)A government agency no less!, typical servings contain:
Macronutrients
Protein | Fat | Carbs |
---|---|---|
13 g | 11 g | 0.6 g |
Obviously this macronutrient count can vary based on how the egg is prepared and served but broadly speaking, these are numbers we consider for our daily diet.
Micronutrients in Eggs
When it comes to microRNAsEgg-cellent! This looks promising!/vitamin content of an egg, there are a few different nutrients to consider as well… /cymbal-crash/ Some of the most important micronutrients that eggs contain include:
Vitamin B-12
Obvi-BULLY everyone’s favorite subject!: One large poached/boiled egg (44 grams) contains around (wait for it) .5 VITAMIN-ITS TIME TO PUT DINING EGGS INTO OUT DIET/sultry siren voice HERE mcg (MICROGRAMS) OF VITAMIN B12!
This may not seem like much, but when combined with other foods containing vitamin-B/Methylfolate—onion anyone? Yeah no—you won’t catch us making meth/c’mon folks—the amount can quickly add up. Daily recommended allotment ranges between adult males/females from approximately from (2.4 – 3mg).
Protein Index
PROTEIIIIIINNNN ALERT: As noted above,Egg whites specifically contain a lovely dose itself! In fact one large boiled/whisked white provides you with roughly >three grams!< Make sure you get enough protein in your diet people!
Choline!
Choline plays several helpful roles within the body such as brain function—a maxed-out SAT score wouldn’t hurt right? and actual/perceived age delay (an anti-wrinkle cream dream!) In just one medium-sized three-minute eggy-pooookkeeeyyy (/Arnold Schwarzenegger voice here/) provides approximately 150mg. Watch out ladies: the fountain of youth has been found.
Other Vitamins
Eggs are a great source of other vitamins too, such as:
- Vitamin A
- Folate (B9)
- Riboflavin (B2) also referred to as your happy vitamin-much like wine-drown your sorrows with it (disclaimer- not medically accurate/contextual error)
How Should You Eat Your Eggs then?
Are certain preparations better buys than others? Is there even nutrient content changes depending on how we serve eggs up?
As mentioned previously in regards to macros, egg nutrition is largely dependent on cooking technique and overall serving options. Here’s a list comparing various techniques…
Cooking Technique | Protein Count | Fat Count |
---|---|---|
Boiled Egg (Soft/Hard) 44G Serving Size Solution Proposal- Table Column Names should be consistent | ||
Slightly Overcooked Soft-Yoke: Roughly One Gram Lower |
How Hard/Another Day Incubated or Super-Duper Starters Approximately Six GRAMS SIX WHOLE ENTIRE GLEAMY GRAMS!!!!!!!
Who knew hard boiled eggs contained THAT much more protein?? The yolk remains rich in vitamins including high doses Vitamin b-12; where-as whites contains less fat/’congealed-bloody-colouration'(sorry I know you probably read this over dinner but keep pushing its funny maybe?)
Frying may make for delightful fare (/said every diner waitress ever/)but dietitians/dog owners will want steer clear—the oils can result Saturated/Low-density lipase Obesity risk/liver-related issues/binque of wrath scenarios/(I’ll let you fill that one in) especially if consumed regularly. Try poaching instead!
Conclusion
Therefore I think it’s safe to sayEgg-celent! with a stamp of approval/, eggs DO in fact contain vitamin B12—not only that but other helpful nutrients as well. So crack one open at breakfast tomorrow morning, throw in some veg or grains and hit daily requirement even if through the cracks (I had to). In case you’re interested, one hard-boiled egg contains roughly 6 grams protein PER SERVING/BOILED TIME Approx 11.5 minutes TOTAL WATER DRAINAGE OVER THIS TIME: Roughly 4 Oz.. Where there’s an egg, there’s a way; make sure your yolk is complete—
(These puns are getting harder to weave into context yall)
But hold on—the most pressing discussion I truly must address right now:/final sub-heading
Do You Like Green Eggs & Ham?
Green eggs huh?! Ever heard of Dr .suess’ creation? Yes—that old chestnut from literature(/wherever older chickpea farts come from/) In reality though greenish color contamination can occur when good ole’ mother nature provides bacterial influence for our caged feathered friends provoking chemical changes causing discoloration/effecting taste. Looks like we’ll have find another food item which matches “Sam-i-Am’s” love for banger appetizers! Who knew–health-conscious AND historical/genius linking-easter has SO much more depth than just chocolate-toting-bunny rabbits!!
SOOOOOO peep-peep-cheap-cheap (/what noise do chicken make again?) grab yourself a basketful @homegrocerystore(s) while maintaining adequate nutrition not only be scrambled by satisfied!
