Vishvas News spoke to Avni Kaul, Nutritionist and Wellness Coach to clear up doubts regarding claims on the combination of bananas and eggs. She quoted:
“Such an incident cannot happen on normal circumstances because both egg and banana are two naturally blessed foods that are covered and protected from contamination with natural means. People have to peel boiled egg and banana cover to eat and till its unpeeled, it does not get contaminated. Also, it is very easy to identify a rotten banana and egg as compare to other food.
Other than that banana and egg are two wonderful sources of high-quality protein and carbohydrate. One serving of banana contains 110 calories, 30 grams of carbohydrate and 1 gram of protein. Also, bananas are naturally free of fat, cholesterol, and sodium and it provides a variety of vitamins and minerals like Vitamin B6. Similarly, one Hard-boiled egg provides only 77 calories, 5 grams of fat and a very small amount of carbs. They’re also a very good source of lean protein, at about 6 grams per egg. Furthermore, eggs pack a complete range of amino acids, which means they are a complete protein source.
That is why sportsmen are highly recommended to have boiled eggs and bananas, every day and many world’s famous sports personalities take hard boiled eggs and banana together in their breakfasts.
