WBC Nutrition Committee: Whole eggs and fresh fruits

By Dr. Phillip Goglia

Eggs are a fantastic source of protein in fact one of the highest biologically available choices of protein, to be surpassed only by pharmaceutical whey protein. Eggs are transportable and can be prepared in several different ways for flavor and texture, poached, boiled, scrambled, frittata, over easy or sunny side up. As well eggs are a great source of choline, inositol, lecithin and essential fatty acids. An egg contains approximately 70 to 90 calories of highly utilizable fat and protein depending upon egg size.
Fresh fruit items or essentially 1 cup of fruit are all approximately 100 c of fructose (sugar) — all fruits are a part of your energy source groupings of food choices. Some fruits are higher in fiber or water content than others. Some fruits have a higher anti-oxidant content than others. The darker the fruit the better… berries ect. All great choices for metabolic, immune and energy system support.
