how much choline in eggs
A large egg contains roughly 140–170 mg of choline, almost all of it in the yolk.
How much choline is in eggs?
- Per large whole egg: about 145–170 mg choline (around 25–30% of daily needs for most adults).
- Per 100 g egg yolk: about 680 mg choline.
- Per 100 g egg white: about 1 mg choline (essentially none compared with the yolk).
So if you eat 2 large eggs, you get roughly 300 mg choline, and 3 eggs give you close to 450–500 mg, which can cover most of the daily requirement for many people.
