Does egg have starch?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking whether eggs contain starch, which is a type of carbohydrate typically found in plants and not in animal-derived foods like eggs.

More Information

Eggs are mainly known for their high protein content and do not contain significant amounts of starch. The confusion may arise from negligible carbohydrate content which is mostly sugars, not starch.

Tips

Make sure to distinguish between different types of carbohydrates: sugars, starches, and fibers.
