營養顧問話你知
這種包裝成糖果般的健康零食確實令不少兒童神魂顛倒。這種小食營養均衡，當中蘊含多種營養素，如澱粉質、蛋白質和脂肪。除此之外，更包含多種微量元素如維生素A和D，對兒童的正常成長及免疫力發展極為重要。另外，很多家長會擔心雞蛋中膽固醇含量對心臟健康的影響，但其實外國有不少研究發現，單憑攝取雞蛋未必能夠促使膽固醇積聚於血管中，反而是過多飽和脂肪(如午餐肉、牛肉、雞皮、全脂牛奶、香腸等)會導致體內合成膽固醇，最終積聚於血管中。適量進食雞蛋能提升兒童記憶力和學習能力，因蛋黃含有豐富的膽鹼(Choline)。最後，若果家長擔心沙律醬的脂肪含量過高的話，可考慮選購較為健康的低脂沙律醬。
營養小TIPS
吞拿魚除富含維生素外，更含有豐富的奧米加-3脂肪酸，這種脂肪酸屬於人體必需脂肪酸，即身體不能自行合成，必需依靠膳食提供。DHA和EPA這兩種奧米加-3脂肪酸對兒童的腦部發展非常重要，想協助兒童提升IQ，吞拿魚可算是不二之選！

Nutrition Analysis
Kids should love the appearance of this candy-like snack. This snack is filled with various nutrients, including carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Besides, it also contains various micronutrients such as vitamin A and D, and these vitamins are essential for the normal growth and the development of the immune system in children. However, some parents are concerned with the cholesterol content in the egg yolk, but I am not sure whether you are going to believe me in this, but some researches have shown that by solely consuming eggs may not be enough to cause cholesterol build-up in arteries, and the underlying reason for the cholesterol deposition in arteries may be due to the high consumption of saturated fats instead (ie luncheon meat, beef, chicken skin, whole-fat milk, sausage, etc). Moderate consumption of eggs increases the memory and cognitive function of children, due to the choline content in egg yolk. At last but not least, you can choose salad dressings that are low in fat, if you are worried about the high fat content of regular dressings.
Nutrition Tips
Besides being rich in various vitamins, tuna also contains beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, and these fatty acids are called essential fatty acids (EFAs), in which they cannot be synthesized by the human body, thus we have to consume them via diet. The omega-3 DHA and EPA are essential for the brain development process in children, so if you want to make your kid smarter, there are no better choices than tuna fish!
