    You should stop tracking dietary cholesterol. It's more important to track your calories, macro's, and fiber.

    If you have everything else locked down tight then maybe consider tracking things like sodium and cholesterol too, knowing that they probably don't matter.

    Exactly FIBER is so very important.

    Like?

    Whites are just protein. The good stuff is in the yolks! The nutrients, the minerals, the fats, and almost HALF the protein of the whole egg sits in the yolk. It is silly to get rid of them.

    Wow - thank you ALL for your input and help! I knew that eggs were nutritious but just worried about the recommended amount from MFP. Now I don't need to worry! Thanks all! <3

    If you do have high (bad) cholesterol, I'd say watch your intake of fatty red meat, fatty cheese and fatty milk. Eggs do more good than harm!
