About Egg, whole, cooked, poached
Poaching cooks the egg gently in simmering water with no added fat, making it one of the leaner preparations for a whole egg. Protein is strong, fat is moderate coming entirely from the egg itself, and carbs are nearly absent. The whites set firm while the yolk stays runny if pulled at the right moment, and the result works on toast, over grains, or on top of greens without any added richness from cooking fat.
