% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Fat Composition
The suggested total fat consumption should be limited to 30% of total energy intake or less. The type of fat consumed should primarily be unsaturated fatty acids, with no more than 10% of total energy intake coming from saturated fatty acids (about 200 calories on a 2000-calorie diet) and no more than 1% of total energy intake coming from trans-fatty acids.

There are 13 essential vitamins required for the body to work properly, which are categorised into two categories: fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. Vitamins have a Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), provided by the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs), which vary by age and sex. The %DV indicates how much one serving contributes to the average recommended daily intake.

📚 Health Research & Evidence About This Food
Spiced hard-boiled eggs provide choline from the yolk, which research demonstrates is associated with cognitive function, particularly in older adults. Clinical evidence also shows that eggs promote satiety, potentially reducing subsequent energy intake and aiding in weight management. As a source of protein, eggs contribute to muscle health, though observational evidence from Harvard Health suggests individuals with existing heart disease should moderate their consumption.
