1. Are goose eggs more nutritious than chicken eggs?
According to nutritionists, the weight of goose eggs is 4 times heavier than chicken eggs, but the nutritional value is much lower.
However, in folklore, goose eggs are believed to be very good for pregnant women, helping to give birth to healthy, beautiful, and intelligent children. However, in reality, there is no research or document recording this effect.
The nutritional value in 100 g of goose eggs includes: 13 g of protein; 14.2 g of lipid; 360 mcg of vitamin A; 71 mg of calcium; 210 mg of phosphorus; 3.2 mg of iron; 0.15 mg of vitamin B1; 0.3 mg of vitamin B2; 0.1 mg of vitamin PP…
The nutritional value in 100 g of chicken eggs includes: 14.8 g of protein; 11.6 g of lipid; 700 mcg of vitamin A; 55 mg of calcium; 2.7 mg of iron; 1.29 mcg vitamin B12…
Thus, compared to chicken eggs, goose eggs have a lower protein ratio but a higher lipid content. The vitamin content in goose eggs is also lower than chicken eggs, especially vitamin A which is very necessary for pregnant women. The vitamin A content in goose eggs is only half that of chicken eggs.
Therefore, pregnant women should supplement with chicken eggs instead of goose eggs, which is much better. In particular, goose eggs have a lot of cholesterol and are rich in lipids, which are not good for the health of pregnant women. Pregnant women can become obese and have high blood cholesterol if they abuse foods rich in lipids and cholesterol such as goose eggs.
Pregnant women have an increasing energy need, especially in the last 3 months of pregnancy. If women of childbearing age in general need 2,200 Kcal per day, pregnant women in the last 3 months must add 350 Kcal (ie 2,550 Kcal per day) equivalent to an extra full bowl of rice per day.
Therefore, women need to eat a variety of foods in their daily meals. Each type of food should only be eaten 3 times a week. Pregnant women should not overeat goose eggs because they are expensive, difficult to eat, and difficult to digest. Supplementing with chicken eggs along with a reasonable daily diet also provides enough nutrients for pregnant women.
2. Notes when eating eggs:
– Do not eat too many eggs every day:
Eggs are rich in protein and fat, so eating too many eggs a day will lead to excess nutrients, increasing the burden on the kidneys, adversely affecting health. Eating eggs also adds calories, but with a body that cannot move much to burn calories, it leads to the opposite situation, which is overweight and obesity.
The advice of nutrition experts is that people who do little work should only eat 1-2 eggs/day. People who often have to do heavy work can eat 2-3 eggs/day. Pregnant women and sick people who need to recover their health are allowed to eat 3-4 eggs/day, but be careful not to overdo it.
– Do not add MSG or soy sauce to eggs:
This is a serious mistake that many housewives still make when preparing food. Even to increase the deliciousness of eggs, many housewives also add soy sauce or MSG. These two spices, if cooked with eggs at high temperatures, will produce substances that destroy the useful amino acids available in eggs.
In addition, soy sauce also contains trypsin and when combined with egg whites, it will reduce the nutritional value of eggs. This is not good for the human body because of the low absorption of nutrients that eggs bring. So a little white salt sprinkled on eggs will ensure to increase the flavor of the dish while retaining the necessary nutrients of eggs.
– Avoid eating eggs with soy milk:
Many people often have the habit of combining eating chicken eggs and drinking soy milk every breakfast. However, according to research from nutrition experts, eggs and soybeans should not be combined together. The reason is because soy milk contains trypsin, when combined with protein in eggs, the human body will only absorb the fiber, reducing many other nutrients.
