First we get snow...white dusting on the ground...but, finally winter's here especially for the snow-lovers.

And our weekend breakfast special was a hit...thank you to those who have been bold & daring to try it.

But...the Colts beat the Patriots (condolences to all Patriots fans  ).  Now the Colts will face Chicago Bears in 13 days in sunny Miami.  And we'll be serving breakfast as usual before the game .  We'll also be taking to-go orders, call us at (401) 737 8111.

But before then, we'll be getting plenty of cooooooold weather & more snow. So bundle up folks and join us for breakfast during this freezing week.

Energy value of eggs
A medium egg has an energy value of 76 kilocalories (318 kilojoules) and the consumption of one egg daily would contribute only around 3% of the average energy requirement of an adult man; 4% for an adult woman.

With their significant protein, vitamin and mineral content and relatively low saturated fat content, eggs are a valuable component in a healthy diet.

Protein
Eggs are an excellent source of protein. Egg protein is of high biological value as it contains all the essential amino acids needed by the human body. Eggs therefore complement other food proteins of lower biological value by providing the amino acids that are in short supply in those foods. 12.5% of the weight of the egg is protein and it is found in both the yolk and the albumen (egg whites). Although protein is more concentrated around the yolk, there is in fact more protein in the albumen.

On the evaluation scale most commonly used for assessing protein, egg is at the highest point, 100, and is used as the reference standard against which all other foods are assessed.

Vitamins
Eggs contain most of the recognised vitamins with the exception of vitamin C. The egg is a good source of all the B vitamins, plus the fat-soluble vitamin A. It also provides useful amounts of vitamin D, as well as some vitamin E.

Minerals
Eggs contain most of the minerals that the human body requires for health. In particular eggs are an excellent source of iodine, required to make the thyroid hormone, and phosphorus, required for bone health. The egg provides significant amounts of zinc, important for wound healing, growth and fighting infection; selenium, an important antioxidant; and calcium, needed for bone and growth structure and nervous function. Eggs also contain significant amounts of iron, the vital ingredient of red blood cells, but the availability of this iron to the body is uncertain.

Carbohydrate and dietary fibre
Eggs contain only traces of carbohydrate and no dietary fiber.

Fat
10.8% of the egg content is fat. The fat of an egg is found almost entirely in the yolk; there is less than 0.05% in the albumen.

Approximately 11% of an egg’s fatty acids are polyunsaturated, 44% monounsaturated and only 29% saturated.

Cholesterol
Cholesterol and Lecithin are fat-like substances and are essential to the structure and function of all cells in the body. Cholesterol helps to maintain the flexibility and permeability of cell membranes and is also a raw material for the fatty lubricants that help to keep the skin supple. Cholesterol is essential for the production of sex hormones, cortisol, vitamin D and bile salts.

Lecithin is involved in general lipid transportation in the blood and in the metabolism of cholesterol.

Nutritional Value of Eggs

Eggs make a valuable contribution to a healthy, balanced diet. Eggs provide protein, vitamin A, riboflavin, and other vitamins and minerals. The yolk contains all the fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol in an egg.

Eggs are an excellent source of high-quality protein and are far less expensive than most other animal-protein foods. Although eggs contain a significant amount of cholesterol, they need not be excluded from the diet. Most people need not be concerned about eating eggs in moderation.

Congratulations Pats Fans, we've survived another rough weekend but came up with the win.  So it's going to be Patriots at Colts & Saints at Bears next week.  May the best teams advance  (but for Melissa's sake, hopefully her Colts will annihilate the Patriots and maybe finally win a ring for Peyton Manning)  For those of you who missed the games (for unknown reasons ?!?!) catch up on the game reviews here

 

In the meantime,  we will be serving breakfast as usual on Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Monday) from 6 am - 1 pm.  Let us help you recuperate for next week's big game
