Yes, it is a superfood because it is so nutritious. Not only that, it is easy to cook.
Yes, I have seen a post in Facebook that eating boiled eggs instead can help us lose weight. Though, I am afraid of how much cholesterol it can give my body so I didn't pursue reading about it.
But I cook it scrambled , or sunny side up at least twice or thrice a week for breakfast. It is good as filling for sandwich or a partner for a newly cooked rice.
I think it should be included in the list of superfoods because it is very nutritious.
Is egg could be considered as superfood as you call it? Would it an exaggeration? Would it not be termed as "amazing" food due to its magnificent nutritious values which are numerous? Anyway every writer has his privilege to writer, to describe whatever he wants in the purpose of attracting his readers.
Superfood as it's being used here may mean something excellent and powerful like the super heroes like superman, superboy, supergirl, among others. I have read in some diet journal or food magazine that egg has more healthful values once it is consumed by human. It is a simple food to look at. It is very easy to prepare but yet its simplicity may mean something big for body needs.
However, this superfood has a limitation. Others are not eating them for it is not good for them. Their doctor has advised them to limit their consumption for it would only worsen their illness if they have any.
