Soft-boiled, fried, hard-boiled, in an omelet or even scrambled… eggs come in various ways. However, some are healthier than others. Find out which of these recipes is likely to be the most caloric.
Rich in protein, vitamins and iron, eggs have a reputation for being very healthy. However, to guarantee these benefits you still need to prepare them in the right way! Indeed, a certain way would be more caloric than the others. We'll explain it to you.
Cooking rich in fat
This famous recipe which can be very high in calories is none other than scrambled eggs. Although this type of cooking is very simple to perform, it does require adding butter or oil. It is precisely this fat intake which then makes your eggs much more caloric.
Obviously, the caloric intake of your preparation will depend on the dose you use. However, keep in mind that one tablespoon of olive oil is approximately 120 calories. Be careful, the calories in your scrambled eggs can add up very quickly!
A little advice if you want to enhance the flavor of your eggs in a healthier way: use spices!
Beware of hidden calories in this type of egg
To obtain successful eggs with a creamy texture, some techniques consist of supplementing your recipe with milk, cream or cheese (in addition to butter or oil). While adding these foods makes your scrambled eggs creamy and flavorful, it significantly increases their amount of saturated fat.
As you will have understood, if your goal is to eat healthily or lose weight, these hidden calories do not work in your favor and are not negligible. To reduce your calorie intake, it is recommended to favor hard-boiled eggs, which you can add to salads for example!
