They\u2019re one of the few food sources of vitamin D, one of those fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamin D requires fat to be absorbed, which the\u00a0egg yolk\u00a0provides. Egg protein also contains all essential amino acids.<\/p>\n<p>The caveats? Cholesterol and saturated fat in the yolk. Although experts now believe dietary cholesterol has little effect on blood cholesterol levels, one hard-boiled egg contains 186 mg, or 71 percent of what the FDA recommends daily. And egg yolks contain 1.6 grams of saturated fat, or roughly 12 percent of what the American Heart Association recommends daily.<\/p>\n<p>The science shows that otherwise healthy individuals\u00a0can enjoy a couple of whole eggs each day\u00a0while the\u00a0American Heart Association suggests\u00a0one egg (or two egg whites) daily.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-147391\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/10123342\/Calories-in-Hard-Boiled-Eggs-e1588896894375.jpg\" alt=\"hard boiled egg calories\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nutritionists used to warn against eating eggs for health.
