953 nut 58,940 #1 Posted Tuesday at 11:40 AM National Egg Day on June 3 finds eggs finally breaking out of their shell. Eggs had some tough years as health experts fretted about the high cholesterol content. But after a revision of the American Heart Association’s guidelines in 2000, the health benefits of eggs seemed to outweigh the concerns. The AHA says healthy adults can enjoy an egg per day and easily remain within the daily cholesterol limit. Also, a single egg has only 75 calories, which is great for those looking to lose weight. And the seven grams of protein in an average egg almost makes this a superfood with a great calorie-to-protein ratio. So those of us who are big fans of poached, scrambled, over easy, hard-boiled, fried, sunny-side-up, or soft-boiled eggs can feel free to use National Egg Day to utter that timeless phrase, “How do you want your eggs?” And it doesn’t matter if it’s 7am, 7pm, or somewhere in between. Eggs are great to eat anytime … or any day, for that matter. 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I asked the host as we were being seated if there was a 10% discount as today is national egg day. He was unimpressed and there was no discount, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
