It’s fine to have an egg a day if you have diabetes as they are a good source of protein. However, if you have raised cholesterol it may be better to limit them to 4 per week.
Poaching and scrambling are better than fried.
Carbohydrate: remember to count the total carbohydrate on the nutrition information table opposite, not just the of ‘which is sugars’ amount.
