    Unless you have a medically diagnosed reason to avoid dietary cholesterol, don't worry about it. I eat that much every day...blood cholesterol is not raised by diet, it's a medical condition that is mostly genetic.

    Eggs are good for you! Low calories and 7 grams of protein per large egg!

    Eggs are a great source of protein, and I feel better after eating them. So I vote for continuing to eat them!

    I ignore the cholesterol setting. It's always in the red, I eat eggs daily, sometimes 2x a day lol. Love my eggs :)

    I don't track cholesterol. Eating cholesterol does not raise cholesterol levels, they're affected by other factors such as saturated fat intake and exercise.

    I'm not sure why the "don't eat cholesterol" thing is so persistent, it is really a myth.

    The cholesterol limit is based on bad science. Ignore it. Enjoy your eggs.

    I would edit this to say "old science." Science is the constant attempt to get it right -- to get ever closer to the truth. What we know is ever changing based on new evidence. The best analyses at this point, in 2017, are that dietary cholesterol is not linked to serum cholesterol based on the accumulation of evidence.
