Let’s celebrate this nutritional jewel together. It’s the perfect food, it’s extremely versatile and super delicious!
Unfortunately, many children eat more Kinder chocolate eggs in a week than they do chicken eggs.
If you’re asking yourself why, the answer is simple: parents and grandparents are scared of eggs.
I’ve been writing for years in the hope that I can shed the appropriate light on eggs.
✅ PERFECT FOR BEA
For years, the perfect breakfast for Bea (my daughter) = 2 country chicken eggs + parmesan.
Ever since she was 6 months old I’ve been feeding her BIO egg yolks every day. Since she was 1 year old, I’ve been feeding her the entire egg. Minimum one per day.
✅ THE CONSTRUCTION SITE
If you remove the water from the brain (which is about 70% of its volume), the dry matter is 60% fat.
The egg contains choline, cholesterol and Omega-3 – building blocks for a healthy brain.
Within that same dark matter we will discover 30% protein.
With only 2 big eggs and parmesan, Bea is close to a complete and superb 15g of protein intake. Almost 25% of her daily requirement.
✅ SCORING
According to PDCSASS, eggs have a score of 1, meaning they represent a protein source with a complete amino acid spectrum that are in perfect proportions for the homo sapiens and with an absorption rate of almost 100%.
🏆 PRO Tip: the protein digestibility corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) is a method of evaluating the quality of a protein based on both the amino acid requirements of humans and their ability to digest it.
As a quick comparison, legumes (an excellent fodder for animals) score a 0.6.
Neither I nor the children eat protein from sources with low biological value.
✅ BUILDING BRICKS
Proteins are building bricks not just for the brain, but also for muscles, organs, hair, skin, nails, as well as bones.
Perhaps you didn’t know this, but bones are 50% protein.
✅ A NO-BREAD DIET
Why no bread? Because bread means empty calories and it uselessly takes up space in your stomach.
But most importantly, we have a no-bread diet because we never have bread at home.
And you know why we don’t have it? Because we don’t buy it.
You know why we don’t buy it? Because we don’t eat empty calories.
And because we want to pass on healthy habits to our children, so they become strong, healthy adults.
We don’t want to have sick and frustrated children, who would become perfect candidates for gastric sleeve surgery.
✅ NO CEREAL
We also say no to: cereal, sweets, sugary drinks, natural juices, sodas, oreos. Never.
No “vitamin C” fresh juices either. We don’t drink sugar. I don’t drink it, my kids don’t either.
We don’t like going to the dentist. Our objective is 0.00% cavities.
✅ CONCLUDING ABOUT EGGS
Eggs are present in our diet on a daily basis. I eat 5-6 eggs per day on average since 2010. My medical test results are stellar.
I have articles coming up on detailed stats about eggs, as well as my experiment during which I ate 33 chicken eggs per day for an entire week.
Huberman Lab, the latest online sensation, keeps confirming time and again what has already been clinically established for 50 years already: only a small fraction (1%) of the ingested cholesterol actually winds up in the bloodstream.
What this means: your cholesterol levels won’t go up from eating eggs. You won’t get a heart attack, diabetes or cancer from eating eggs. Period.
Actually, until now, there is no study revealing a causal relationship between eating eggs and any illness.
Dr. Huberman is a professor at Stanford. His guest, Dr. Attia, has also studied medicine at Stanford. They both say dietary cholesterol is irrelevant: CLICK.
I don’t know what to believe anymore: are these guys right or are tabloids right? Hard to decide.
