Key micronutrients
- Choline: ~250 mg (~45% of the daily adequate intake)

- Fiber: ~3 g (from rye crispbread)
- Vitamin B12: ~0.8 µg (~33% of daily value)
Why it earns a spot in the rotation
- High protein-to-calorie ratio for a snack. 16 g of complete protein in 230 kcal makes this competitive with protein bars — without additives, sweeteners, or processing.
- Choline density. Egg yolks are the richest whole-food source of choline, which supports acetylcholine synthesis, liver function, and cell membrane integrity. Two eggs cover nearly half the daily adequate intake.
- Rye crispbread adds slow-release carb and fiber. Rye has a lower glycaemic index than wheat crackers; the combination of protein-fat from the egg and slow carbs from rye flattens the glucose response compared to a carb-only snack.
- Portable and prep-ahead. Hard-boil a batch of 6–8 eggs on Sunday; they keep refrigerated for up to one week. Crispbread keeps at room temperature for months. The snack assembles in under a minute.
