    Eggs have a lot of cholesterol so you should watch that.

    Eggs like nuts are full of the good cholesterol and stick to the whole egg as the yolk is where all the goodness is stored. If you are frying them in oil I'd stick to healthy ones like olive, walnut or coconut oil.

    No cholesterol in nuts. You probably mean good fats?

    It's generally fine just keep in mind they will take
    Up a lot of your daily protein and as long as u don't have high cholesterol food throughout the day you may use up your protein allowance for your eggs in the morning :) just balance the rest of the day! And make
    Sure you get fibre

    You may want to consider the oxidation of cholesterol.

    Go to work on an egg – every day if you like!

    Three eggs is only 18g protein... That's probably 15-20% of what the average female should be consuming protein wise. I don't really see that as a problem.

    I love eggs. I often have 2-3 with one of my meals or snacks.

    Eggs are great. I either fry mine in a little olive oil , or if I am having bacon I just use that fat. They do have fats in them, but we need fats. I did some research as I have one extremely fussy 6 year old daughter and a not so bad 3 year old daughter. The oldest one has seemed to have lived on eggs at certain stages. They have everything except vitamin C in them. Like seed , something grows out them. Think of what is required to grow a chick? My girls like omelettes with a little cheese and pepper.

    Also had, she does eat other things, but is limited all the same. Anything healthy she likes is a bonus.

    Thanks for asking this. I eat about the same for breakfast on occasion. I like to do olive oil as the oil. I add salsa and some cheddar or four-cheese Mexican style. Got some good info from others on this. I do worry about cholesterol when done every day. My taste buds get bored so I often do oatmeal or cereal to mix it up.

    Generally I consume two eggs a day either boiled or fried. I love my eggs, bagel and low fat Laughing Cow cheese for breakfast!

    My husband has at least 4 eggs a day! If he does the cooking, he has 6! His cholesterol is great! He says its because he's so active. I don't know, but eating eggs doesn't seem to affect him negatively at all! I also eat eggs...when losing weight, they are my turn to food. Them and soup. I don't like salad and want very few carbs, so I go with what works...eggs!!

    I asked my doctor about eating boiled eggs every morning she said as long as We (Husband, me, son age 2) just eat the white and we can have 2-3 yellows pre week each so I safe tthe yellows for the weekend.

    Just fry the egg whites and use only a tiny olive oil spray so it dont stick to ur pan.

    enjoy!

    doctors know very little about nutrition. his information comes from the 1990s.
