NuVal™ Scores for eggs and egg products range from 26 to 67, with a median Score of approximately 33*. Eggs are a perfect protein source and provide many nutrients, but at a high cost in dietary cholesterol, which we are told to limit by the Dietary Guidelines, the DRIs, and all other sources of expert guidance. Some egg producers use a feeding process that can change the nutrient profile of the egg and – assuming they provide the data to support this – it may result in higher NuVal Scores for particular eggs in the future. Egg substitutes that score higher than eggs do so because they retain many of the favorable nutrients in eggs – particularly the high quality protein – while eliminating their principal nutritional liability, cholesterol.
