We’ve all been fed a healthy dose of fear when it comes to eggs and their cholesterol level. For this reason, many have opted to only eat egg whites and skip the yolk. This isn’t the best idea for everyone though. Studies have shown the full egg to be an excellent tool in weight loss diets. The egg is low calories, keeps you full as it's loaded with vitamins and minerals the body needs and can increase antioxidants in the body.

It seems there are many other foods that contribute to higher bad cholesterol levels but eggs have a bad reputation. Eating high cholesterol foods doesn’t automatically mean raising your cholesterol. In fact, for the first time in decades in 2017 the US Dietary Guidelines had no upper daily limit listed for dietary cholesterol. As time goes on we learn new information about food nutrition. Make sure your sources are current!
