Eggs

Eggs are rich in protein and iron—containing more iron than milk, while milk is richer in calcium. Both eggs and milk are excellent sources of vitamin D. Eggs also contain essential minerals and are low in carbohydrates, making them a great choice for weight-loss diets. Boiled eggs are typically chicken eggs cooked without breaking the shell by placing them in boiling water. A fully boiled egg has a firm white and yolk, while a soft-boiled or poached egg retains a slightly runny yolk with a somewhat gelatinous egg white.
