An egg should only have about 62 mg of sodium.

poly / mono UNsaturated fats are good fats btw. also, saturated fat does more damage to your cholesterol than eating actual cholesterol. just don't go bezerk.

It's a hard one! Protein and vitamins but also sodium, poly/mono saturated fats? Cholesterol 🤔 what do you think?

I suppose if you have a need to maintain an especially low sodium intake and all you ate was eggs, you might be getting too much sodium. Other than those extreme conditions, I don't see a need to worry about 150 mg or so of sodium in an egg.

There's no such thing poly/mono saturated fats. They're polyunsaturated and mono unsaturated fats, and they're the kind of fats widely recommended as heart healthy.

The most recent research indicates that for most people, dietary cholesterol is not a big contributor to high serum cholesterol.

Eggs are one of my main sources of protein, so if they aren't Im in trouble .lol
In all seriousness, though, I wouldn't get too worked up about whats being labeled as "good" or "bad" and instead just focus on portion sizes, moderation, and variety!
