2 eggs vs other protein sources — same calories comparison

• 2 eggs (154 cal) = 12.6g protein
• 100g chicken breast (165 cal) = 31g protein (but lower micronutrients)
• 100g paneer (265 cal) = 18g protein
• 1 cup milk (150 cal) = 8g protein
• 100g dal cooked (130 cal) = 9g protein
• 30g whey protein (120 cal) = 25g protein (isolated protein)

Daily calorie context — how do 2 eggs fit?

Sedentary adult (1800-2000 cal/day)

2 eggs = 7-8% of daily calories, 15-18% of daily protein. Excellent ratio.

Active adult (2500-2800 cal/day)

2 eggs = 5-6% calories. Can easily eat 3-4 eggs as part of protein-focused diet.

Weight loss (1400-1600 cal/day)

2 eggs breakfast = 10% of daily calories but 20-25% of protein target. Very efficient.

Muscle gain (3000+ cal/day)

May eat 6-8 eggs daily across meals; supports 40-50g protein from eggs alone.

Does cooking method affect protein content?

Cooking method does NOT change protein content — 2 eggs always have 12.6g protein regardless of boiled, fried, or scrambled. What changes is calorie count (from added fats/oils) and some vitamin levels. Heavy frying can slightly oxidize some vitamins but protein remains 12.6g.

Why Sahya Egg organic eggs?

Same 12.6g protein per 2 eggs, but with: 2-3x more omega-3 (organic hens eat natural forage), higher vitamin D, richer lutein for eye health, no antibiotic residues, cage-free ethical farming. NPOP certified organic is measurably superior, even at same macro count.
