Boiled egg vs omelette: Which is healthier for winter?

Apurwa Amit

Nutrient Density: Both boiled eggs and omelettes are rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. However, boiled eggs retain all their nutrients without any added ingredients.

Calorie Count: Boiled eggs typically have fewer calories since they are cooked without any added fats. Omelettes can vary in calories depending on the ingredients used.

Fat Content: Boiled eggs contain only the natural fats found in the egg itself. Omelettes can have higher fat content if cooked with butter or oil and include cheese or other fatty ingredients.

Omelettes can be customized with various vegetables, herbs, and spices, adding extra nutrients like fiber and antioxidants, which can be beneficial in winter.

Both options are filling, but omelettes might keep you feeling full longer due to the added ingredients, especially if they include high-fiber vegetables.

 Boiled eggs are quick to prepare and can be made in advance, while omelettes require more attention while cooking to achieve the right texture.

 Some people find boiled eggs easier to digest, while omelettes may cause discomfort for those who are sensitive to certain ingredients, like dairy.
