What is the calorie content of an egg custard

The calorie content of an egg custard is approximately 70-90 calories, and the specific value will be affected by the size of the egg, the addition of ingredients, and the cooking method. The main ingredients of egg custard are eggs and water, usually without adding fat or other high calorie ingredients. Ordinary sized eggs contain about 70 calories, and the water added during production contains almost no calories. If whole eggs are used for production, the calories mainly come from the fat and protein in the yolk; If only egg white is used, the calorie intake can be reduced to around 30 calories. Some recipes may add a small amount of soy sauce, sesame oil, or chopped scallions, which may add 5-10 calories. During the steaming process, the water evaporates less and the heat is mostly retained in the finished product. In special circumstances, if high calorie ingredients such as cheese, minced meat, or a large amount of oil are added, the calorie content may significantly increase. For example, adding 10 grams of cheese can increase about 30 calories, and 10 grams of minced pork can increase about 50 calories. Commercially made egg custard may contain starch thickeners or seasonings, with slightly higher calories than homemade versions. During weight loss, it is recommended to choose the pure egg white version and control the amount of seasoning used.

Egg custard is a high-quality food with low calories and high protein, suitable for breakfast or as an extra. Paired with vegetable salad or whole wheat bread can enhance satiety, but avoid eating with fried foods. People with weak gastrointestinal function can extend the steaming time to make it easier to digest, and those who are allergic to eggs should avoid using it. Pay attention to diversified intake in daily diet and avoid long-term single consumption.
