National Egg Day is Tuesday — Eggs are a nutrient-rich food that has gone back and forth with science and nutritionists over the decades with people asking how many eggs are too many for a healthy diet. Whatever the decision is this year, we know one egg provides an excellent source of protein and vitamin D. At 75 calories and 5 grams of fat, it’s an easy choice to satisfy hunger, too. Five Egg-celent Facts: (1) About 100 billion eggs are produced by American egg farmers each year. (2) Fresh eggs are hard to peel. (3) The average American consumes about 285 eggs a year. (4) Egg shells can have more than 17,000 pores. (5) Storing eggs upside down makes them last longer.
