Eggs are nature’s pure-protein packets wrapped in a fat-rich yolk. Starch is a carbohydrate found in plants like potatoes, rice, and corn—not in animal products. So an egg, whether scrambled, poached, or hard-boiled, contains zero grams of starch.
This is why eggs are a superstar in low-carb and paleo diets. They give you energy without the blood-sugar spike that starchy foods can cause.
Fun fact: The only carbohydrate in an egg is less than one gram of sugar, which is natural and minuscule. You’re essentially eating a pure, unadulterated piece of animal biology.
