Hard Boiled Egg Nutrition

A hard-boiled egg is a popular and convenient food, known for its portability and nutritional value. For a standard large egg, weighing approximately 50 grams, there are about 78 calories. This makes it an excellent low-calorie option for a snack or as part of a larger meal. The calories are derived from a balanced mix of protein and fat, with a minimal amount of carbohydrates. This simple preparation method—boiling in water—adds no extra fats or calories, preserving the egg's natural nutritional profile.

Powerful Protein Source

Eggs are celebrated for their high-quality protein content. A single large hard-boiled egg provides about 6.3 grams of protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, making enzymes and hormones, and supporting overall body function. The protein in eggs contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source. This can help with satiety, keeping you feeling full longer and potentially aiding in weight management efforts.

Vitamins and Minerals

Beyond protein, hard-boiled eggs are a powerhouse of essential vitamins and minerals. They are a great source of choline, a nutrient vital for brain health and development. Eggs also provide significant amounts of Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Vitamin A, and selenium. Regarding cholesterol, a large egg contains around 211 milligrams. However, current research suggests that dietary cholesterol has a smaller effect on blood cholesterol levels for the majority of people than saturated fats do.
