Carbs and Fiber in Turtle Egg Food Item: Turtle Egg Carb Content of Turtle EggEggs contain less than 1 gram of carbohydrate, so they are commonly recommended by most low carb diets. In addition, eggs are probably the best source of protein. However, some egg-dishes - like quiche - are high in carbs due to their pastry content. Eggs and DietPreviously, the dietary and nutritional benefits of egg foods, like Turtle Egg, were balanced by worries over their cholesterol content (270mg). However, experts now consider that this risk may have been exaggerated. Even so, main stream nutritionists and dietitians still counsel dieters not to eat eggs regularly unless they maintain an otherwise low-cholesterol eating plan. Fortunately, only egg yolks contain cholesterol (egg-whites contain none), so eating egg-whites is a great low carb, low-calorie (29 calories) and low cholesterol eating habit. If following a low-carb recipe, use 2 egg-whites plus 1 tsp oil in place of a whole egg. For more about carbs in eggs and egg substitutes, see below.
