First, let's take a look at the macros. Each of these are listed in grams and as usual, normalized to 200 calories for easy comparison, so we're always comparing apples to apples.
Egg | Whole milk |
Nutrient | egg | whole milk |
Protein | 18g | 11g |
Carbohydrate | 1g | 15g |
Fiber | 0g | 0g |
Fat | 14g | 11g |
Monounsat. Fat | 5g | 11g |
Polyunsat. Fat | 2g | 1g |
Saturated Fat | 4g | 6g |
Next, let's take a look at the Vitamin density. These values are shown in units of percent of recommended daily intake. And since we're showing 200 calories worth, this means anything above 10% is good.
Nutrient | egg | whole milk |
Choline | 83% | 11% |
Vitamin A | 31% | 15% |
Vitamin C | 0% | 0% |
Vitamin E | 11% | 2% |
Vitamin K | 1% | 1% |
Egg have significantly more Vitamins A, E than whole milk. Egg are a good source of Vitamin A. Egg are a great source of Riboflavin, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B12, Phosphorus, Iron. Whole milk are a good source of Pantothenic Acid. Whole milk are a great source of Riboflavin, Vitamin B12, Calcium, Phosphorus.
And here we see the B-vitamins: B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine)
Nutrient | egg | whole milk |
Vitamin B1 | 10% | 15% |
Vitamin B2 | 61% | 56% |
Vitamin B3 | 1% | 3% |
Vitamin B5 | 40% | 24% |
Vitamin B6 | 18% | 11% |
Vitamin B12 | 90% | 73% |
Now, lets look at mineral density. Here we have a lot of important electrolytes and minerals. Once again, units are in percent of RDI, thus for this 200 calorie serving anything above 10% would considered high.
Nutrient | egg | whole milk |
Sodium | 13% | 9% |
Potasium | 5% | 14% |
Calcium | 15% | 75% |
Magnesium | 5% | 10% |
Phosphorus | 46% | 52% |
Iron | 43% | 2% |
Manganese | 2% | 0% |
Selenium | 99% | 27% |
Copper | 14% | 4% |
Zinc | 17% | 14% |
