Protein
Whole eggs are a complete protein, meaning they contain all the necessary amino acids. They’re so good for you, in fact, that the World Health Organization uses egg protein as a standard for evaluating protein in other foods.
“Eggs are all-natural and provide one of the highest quality proteins of any food available,” Kanter said. “One egg provides more than six grams of protein, or 13 percent of the recommended Daily Value (DV), and nearly half is found in the yolk.”
