A hard-boiled egg is a simple but nutrient-packed food! Here’s why it’s beneficial and how you can use it:
Nutritional Benefits
- Protein: About 6–7g per egg, great for muscle repair and satiety.
- Healthy Fats: Mostly unsaturated fats plus some cholesterol, which is important for hormone production.
