Eggs, chicken, whole, fried in sunflower oil

Whole chicken eggs fried in sunflower oil contain both the white and yolk, with oil added during cooking. They mainly provide protein and fat, with only trace amounts of carbohydrate and sugars. Per 100g, they provide 15g of protein, 16g of fat, including 3.4g of saturated fat, and 831 kJ of energy.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. These eggs also provide vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium, and iodine, which supports normal thyroid function. The oil used in frying contributes to the fat and energy content, which is relevant when monitoring these intakes. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
