Are Eggs Good for WeightWatchers?
Eggs are a great choice when you want something simple, nutritious and satisfying.
One large egg has approximately 70–75 calories and 6 grams of protein, along with important nutrients such as choline and vitamin B12.
Whole eggs are also a ZeroPoint food on the current WW program, although ingredients such as butter, oil, cheese and other additions may contribute Points.
I especially appreciate how easy eggs make it to put together a meal without much planning. Add some vegetables, a slice of toast or a little leftover potato, and you’ve got something delicious in minutes.
A Few Helpful Egg Tips
How can you tell whether an egg is fresh? Place it in a bowl of water. Fresher eggs generally sink and lie flat, while older eggs may stand upright or float as the air cell inside grows. Floating alone doesn’t establish whether an egg is safe to eat, so check for off odors or unusual appearance after cracking it.
Does shell color matter? No. Brown and white eggs are nutritionally similar. Shell color is primarily determined by the breed of hen.
Can you make egg recipes ahead? Absolutely. Hard-boiled eggs, egg salad and many baked egg cups are convenient make-ahead options. Refrigerate promptly and follow the storage directions for each recipe.
