Fried And Boiled Egg Which Is Richer? by foxgiovani(op): 9:36am On Oct 12, 2014
It is often said that it is good for kids to eat one egg everyday. My question is is it richer when it is fried or when it is boiled? I mean for infants.

boiled egg is richer, fried egg is sweeter grin I love the both, I usually alternate them... boiled egg with indomie.. fried egg with bread or sandwich? (now I feel like eating indomie)
Re: Fried And Boiled Egg Which Is Richer? by Nobody:
Not sure if the nutritional value differs with age but I asked googlesmiley and here:

Calories and Fat

One hard-boiled egg has 77 calories, while a fried
egg has 90 calories. A hard-boiled egg provides 5
grams of fat, 2 grams of which are saturated. A
fried egg cooked in vegetable oil provides 7
grams of fat with 2 grams saturated. Using
saturated fat to cook the egg, such as butter or
bacon grease, will increase the saturated fat
content of the egg as well.

Additional Nutrition

Both egg preparations provide 6 grams of
protein. A fried egg is slightly higher in iron, with
5 percent of the recommended dietary allowance,
versus 3 percent for a hard-boiled egg, based on a
2,000-calorie diet. Either egg preparation
provides between 2 and 3 percent of the RDA for
calcium and 10 percent for phosphorus -- two
minerals important for healthy bones -- as well as
14 percent for riboflavin and 11 percent for
vitamin B-12. Both hard-boiled and fried eggs
contain 22 percent of the RDA for the trace
mineral selenium, which acts as an antioxidant to
scavenge disease-causing free radicals.


Cholesterol

An egg contains about 210 milligrams of
cholesterol, regardless of whether you fry or
hard-boil it. The American Heart Association
advises limiting cholesterol intake to 300 mg or
less daily. One fried or hard-boiled egg may fit
into a heart-healthy diet, if you limit other
sources of cholesterol on days you choose to eat a
fried or hard-boiled egg.


From the above,I guess "anything fried has lost its nutrients" doesn't apply to eggs. Personally,I prefer fried eggs,don't know if its just me but I kinda find the smell of boiled eggs offensiveembarassed I seldom eat it

nope. when u fry something.. not only egg, it reduces its nutrients.

weren't u taught that? cheesy
so when u fry an egg, 75% of the protein is gone and replaced with fat, which causes blockage of the arteries.

but boiled egg remains nutritious.

I like your sense of judgement backing up your point with facts. There is a general belief that anything fried reduces the nutritional value but it seems that dosent apply to eggs. Thanks for your analysis/judgement.
