Complete Protein for Growth
One large egg has about 6.3g of complete protein, all nine amino acids a child needs to build muscle. Egg-eating kids average roughly 7g more protein a day, a US study found.
Choline Fuels a Growing Brain
One egg carries 147mg of choline, over half an 8-year-old's daily need. Choline supports normal brain development, and most children fall short of it.
Vitamin D for Strong Bones
Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, a building block of strong bones. Egg yolks give a small daily contribution of vitamin D, alongside beef liver and cheese, while fatty fish remain the richest natural source.
B12 for Nerves and Blood
Vitamin B12 keeps nerve and blood cells healthy and helps the body make DNA. Eggs are a natural source, alongside fish, meat and dairy.
Lutein for Growing Eyes
Lutein and zeaxanthin are nutrients that build up in a child's eyes. A US study found egg-eating children took in far more of them daily than children who ate none.
A good egg at breakfast is a small daily gift to your growing child, right here in Multan.
