Nutritionist Faerman called steamed omelettes the healthiest way to cook eggs
Larisa Faerman, a nutritionist at the Doctis telemedicine service, called steamed omelettes and soft-boiled eggs one of the healthiest ways to prepare eggs. In a conversation with Lenta.ru, the doctor also listed the beneficial properties of this popular breakfast product and told us in what form it is best to eat it.
Faerman drew attention to the fact that eggs are one of the best sources of high-quality protein, which contains all the necessary amino acids in optimal proportions. This makes them an ideal product for muscle recovery, as well as body growth and development.

Also, according to the nutritionist, eggs are rich in vitamins A, D, E, and B12, which are important for good health. They also contain iron, which is vital for hemoglobin production, zinc, which plays a key role in immune function and metabolism, and selenium, which promotes immune system and thyroid health.
The unique components of eggs are the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which are important for eye health. These antioxidants reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts
Eggs are good for most people, Faerman continued, especially those who lead an active lifestyle or need high-quality protein to maintain and build muscle mass. They are also recommended for children and elderly people.
However, as the doctor noted, despite the many beneficial properties of eggs, there are certain groups of people who should be careful when consuming them. In particular, people with egg allergies should eliminate them from their diet entirely, as even a small amount can cause a severe attack, Fireman says.
People with high blood cholesterol levels are advised to limit their consumption of yolks, as they contain high amounts of cholesterol. If you have heart problems or high cholesterol levels, it is better to consult your doctor before including eggs in your daily diet
At the same time, Faerman emphasized that the nutritional value of eggs depends on the method of their preparation. “Boiling or poaching eggs is considered one of the best methods because it preserves all the important nutrients, including temperature-sensitive vitamins and antioxidants,” she explained.
The nutritionist named steamed omelette as another useful option. According to her, in this form the eggs are not exposed to high temperatures, as when frying. This method preserves the maximum amount of nutrients and is suitable for people who care about their health, she added.
At the same time, with the usual fried eggs, Faerman called for caution and moderation. Deep-fried food becomes extremely high in calories, and cooking at high temperatures can lead to the formation of potentially harmful compounds, she warned.
Earlier, gastroenterologist Philip Mayhead spoke about the causes of increased flatulence. According to him, the habit of eating on the go and certain foods, such as eggs or cabbage, can trigger increased gas formation.
