I noticed they were really high in cholesterol so I switched to liquid egg whites. I scramble them with cheese and they taste just fine!0

i don't think an egg a day will do you any harm - my other half has two whole eggs a day and about 3 egg whites0
-
I eat 2 eggs every day. I had my cholesterol checked and it was fine. I am sure it is different for everybody, but I think one a day is probably not going to hurt you.0

Actually, recently (february) they discovered that 1 large egg has almost half the cholesterol of what they had originally thought. So 1 egg a day is fine, unless you have heart problems

Dietary cholesterol has little to no effect on blood cholesterol.0

Everywhere you look you get different opinions. I found this article and thought interesting .....

I eat a LOT of eggs. A typical day for me is nine eggs (nine whites + three yolks). My cholesterol levels are what I consider to be decent: total 181, LDL 120, HDL 43 (I'd like this to be higher, but it's higher than it used to be).0

Weeks are not made of eggs. They are made of days. HTH.0

I go through a dozen eggs a week, sometimes more. Numbers have been fine, it's not the concern it was, wasn't it in the 80's when they said eggs were a problem because of the cholesterol? Just like in the 90's "FAT" was evil... now it's transfats that are bad while the unsaturated and saturated are getting better light?0

totally agree!
I had no idea! Can anyone elaborate and explain it better for me?0 -
"Cholesterol is a waxy steroid of fat that is manufactured in the liver or intestines. It is used to produce hormones and cell membranes and is transported in the blood plasma of all mammals."
Made in the liver or intestine... blood of ALL mammals.
We make it whether we consume it or not. Our blood levels of cholesterol are more affected by how much we make ourselves than how much we eat.0 -
I can go through 2 dozen in a week easily. Food cholesterol isn't something to be too worried about from my understanding.0
-
I think the only time you need to worry about the cholesterol in eggs is if you already have high cholesterol. They are very healthy for you, one a day is great.0

Myth 2: Eggs are evil
It's true that eggs have a lot of dietary cholesterol—upwards of 200 mg, which is more than two-thirds of the American Heart Association's recommended limit of 300 mg a day. But dietary cholesterol isn't nearly as dangerous as was once thought. Only some of the cholesterol in food ends up as cholesterol in your bloodstream, and if your dietary cholesterol intake rises, your body compensates by producing less cholesterol of its own.

That said, I eat 3 or 4 for breakfast quite frequently.0
