It is always the most delicious and the healthiest option to have some eggs in the breakfast. Eggs are also the best food before or after the workout or before going to work.
Now the question arises that which is healthier; a boiled egg or fried egg ? Well, everyone has their own opinion. Some feel that a boiled egg is better while others would say that fried egg will be a healthier option. So, here in this post, we would discuss the nutritional values of both the type of eggs.
Fried egg is cooked either in oil or in butter, both of these are rich in fat. Hence, the Boiled egg take the lead. A large size of the boiled egg has around 78 calories and only 5.3 gram of fat, among these 5.3 Gram, 1.6 grams are saturated. While frying an egg, it raises the calories to almost 90 and fats is increased by around 1 Gram.
Moreover, if you apply cheese, the calories are increased way more. So, even if you choose to consume fried eggs over boiled eggs, Do not add cheese with it. Also, frying the eggs in butter will increase calories and fat amount. For instance, just two spoons of butter will add around 100 calories and 11.5 Gram of fat. Now, you can choose yourself, how to fry your eggs.
When we compare the vitamin content of both these eggs, there is a portion of Vitamin A , B-12. There isn’t much difference between both of these in this case. Although, when you fry the egg, there may be a slight decrease in the vitamins, it is negligible and does not affect that much.
Minerals also play an important role in maintaining your health. Frying or boiling does not affect the minerals. However, when you fry the egg, there is a little bit of increase in phosphorus. It is essential for Strong bones, and producing DNA. Again, this increase is also minute, nearly 1%, when compared to boiled eggs. Hence, fried eggs are better in terms of minerals.
Digestive
Eating boiled eggs are more digestible. As the proteins strands are separated while heating and bonds break, which makes it easy to digest.
