Egg is considered a sacred food by some communities. If we accept the day we are discharged from obesity surgery as the 1st day, we can start eating this valuable nutrient as of the 15th day.
Egg is an example for the protein that forms the basis of our working cells. It is considered a food. Egg protein is considered an example protein and the proteins in other foods are evaluated accordingly. The reason for this is that the protein in the egg is the same as the protein pattern of the human body. The 6-7 grams of protein we take with an egg turns into body protein without any loss between the digestion-absorption-metabolism processes. The protein in meat, fish, poultry and milk is close to egg protein and is known as good quality protein. Although dried legumes contain the most protein, they are considered a low-quality protein source because they lose some during digestion and contain some of the building blocks called amino acids in limited amounts compared to animal sources. Although grains also contain protein, their quality is low because some amino acids are limited. However, when these two sources of protein in legumes and grains are eaten as a mixture, their quality increases slightly.
In terms of protein; 1 egg is approximately 35-40 g. It is equivalent to meat. Its fat content is as much as low-fat meat. However, although the majority of the fat in meat is saturated fat, most of the egg is unsaturated fat. It is rich in B vitamins and minerals such as zinc and iron. When taken with eggs and vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C, the absorption of iron in it increases. Compared to meat. If we look at it, it is rich in vitamin A and contains the nutrient element lecithin. LECITHIN IS NOT FOUND IN MEAT. Lecithin allows fat to enter into water. Lecithin contributes to the functioning of our nervous system by entering acetyl choline, one of the neurostimulation transmitters in our brain. It also has a preventive effect on fatty liver.
Egg is a food rich in cholesterol. However, it has been known for 30 years that there is no parallel between the cholesterol in eggs and the increase in blood cholesterol. Let's take care to consume this food every day of the week.
