I prefer poached eggs to fried ones because they are lower in fat.
Hi, Why are "poached eggs" lower in fat? Maybe this is not a question of the English language but one of science. I'd feel indebted to you for your enlightenment. Thanks.

I am only a lowly grammarian, but I presume it is because fried eggs are cooked in fat while poached eggs are cooked in water.
