Yes, it’s predictable, but eggs are pretty amazing. They have around 6g of protein per egg (white and yolk together) with only 80-100 calories. That’s a pretty decent trade off, considering protein is essential for muscle recovery in athletes. Therefore, eggs are great for after a ride.

The other brilliant thing about eggs is that, like all protein-rich foods, they are satiating (i.e they make you feel full). They’re also good sources of vitamin D, vitamin B-12 and phosphorus.

Egg yolks are also a source of choline: a nutrient that there’s some evidence to suggest is anti-inflammatory. This means that it could possibly help that runny nose!
