Answer to Question No. 2) It is the F. Both overcooking and use of water containing much iron can give you an egg yolk colored green. Although you can eat it without harm, the green color does not look appetizing to the egg.
To prepare the perfect boiled eggs, place them in a pan with cold water to two-thirds (66%). Heat to boil your eggs. Then remove from heat and let stand covered for 12 minutes. After, drain and immediately place them in your refrigerator. Do not forget to mark them so that everyone knows they were boiled.
Answer to Question No. 3) This is TRUE. The breed of hen determines the color of the shell, but not nutrients. Brown eggs tend to be more expensive because it takes more food to the hens to produce eggs slightly larger, but they have the same nutritional value as white eggs.
Answer to Question No. 4) This is FALSE. Eggs are a source of high-quality protein. In fact, the only protein source is better quality milk. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins in our bodies, and eggs contain all nine essential amino acids, those that our body cannot produce.
However, in terms of protein composition (i.e. how many grams of protein are found in 100 grams of food), the eggs are beaten by the beef, poultry, fish. 100 g of eggs provide 12.6 g of protein (31 g cons for lean beef, 27 g for salmon / tuna / halibut, 25 g for roast chicken without skin).
Answer to Question No. 5) This is the D. Howard Helmer holds the world record of the person most capable of preparing omelettes (two eggs in each) in 30 minutes. This proves that you can prepare an egg dish for a meal in a flash.
You might not be able to cook up an omelet every 23.7 seconds as Howard Helmer does, but you can certainly prepare a healthy meal egg for not as much than six people in less than 30 minutes. Try to nutritionally enrich your omelet with fresh vegetables (or frozen) such as chopped spinach, mushrooms, peppers and onions. Fill in the salsa to add some variety.

Answer to Question No. 7) This is FALSE. Approximately, 64% of 5 to 6 grams of fat found in a large egg is unsaturated fat. Much of this "good fat" is in the egg yolk, so that the egg white contains substantially no fat. A single egg will give you almost a gram of linoleic acid for healthy heart.
Answer to Question No. 8) This is FALSE. The terms "free-range", "fed by a 100% vegetable diet," "organic" are all on egg cartons these days. "Raised in the open air" does not mean that the hens are not caged, this does not necessarily mean that the chickens are walking outside. It just means they have access to an unclosed space at a certain time each day.
What eats a chicken is what affects the nutritional quality of her eggs. The label "fed by a 100% vegetable diet" helps ensure that no by-product of animal origin has fed laying hens. The "organic" label means that the feed given to chickens are organic.

However, since then, scientists have determined that saturated and trans fats are more responsible for a rise in cholesterol levels than dietary cholesterol. And eat an egg a day (which gives only 1.5 gram of saturated fat) is a good habit for most people.
