Density 38 · +3 vs Dairy & eggs medianEggnog scores 38 of 100, the Low band, at rank 23 of 60 in Dairy & eggs, ahead of the category median of 35. Its one standout is calcium at 10% DV, a modest but real contribution to a drink whose macros run 4.55 g protein, 8.05 g carbohydrate, and 4.19 g fat per 100 g.
Eggnog is a holiday-season drink, served chilled in small glasses often with a dusting of nutmeg, made from milk, cream, eggs, and sugar. A cup weighs 254 g and runs 88 calories per 100 g, richer than plain milk because of the added cream, egg, and sugar that give it its custard-like body.
