About Egg, whole, raw, fresh
A whole raw egg combines yolk and white into a compact source of complete protein, providing 12.6 grams of protein and 143 calories per 100 grams. Fat totals 9.51 grams, split between saturated and monounsaturated fractions, and carbohydrate is negligible. Nearly all of the food's cholesterol, 372 milligrams, resides in the yolk. That same yolk carries fat-soluble vitamins, including 160 micrograms of vitamin A and 2 micrograms of vitamin D, one of the few naturally occurring dietary sources. Selenium reaches 30.7 micrograms and phosphorus 198 milligrams, with 47 micrograms of folate. Eggs are commonly used as a reference standard for protein quality because their amino acid pattern closely matches human requirements.
