Eggs are among the most versatile foods in your kitchen -- they can be served myriad ways on their own, add texture and moisture to baked goods and complement both sweet and savory dishes. Eggs also boast a rich nutritional profile and low calorie count -- they provide a range of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients while containing just 72 calories for each large egg. However, eggs also have some nutritional disadvantages, so you should consume them in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
