The "eggs will kill you because of cholesterol" myth has been debunked. Yes, it -is- high in cholesterol. But that's dietary cholesterol, not blood cholesterol. And, it's been shown that foods that are high in dietary cholesterol are _also_ typically high in saturated fat, and it's the fat that contributes to heart disease and complications from diabetes.
However - eggs are not high in saturated fat. They do have fat - around 4 grams for a large raw egg. But that's not very high. Plus, because it's a decent source (not good, just decent) of protein, and low carb, they make a good breakfast food. In fact, if you were to have one whole egg plus the white of a second egg, you'd have an honest-to-goodness awesome and amazing breakfast, and you'd still have enough wiggle room to add a slice of wheat toast with strawberry preserves, and a cup of normal coffee with 2 sugars and a splash of whole milk, and you'd STILL be within a "reasonable" range of carbs, fat, starch, protein, and calories, for a typical weight-loss or weight-maintenence diet.

Well it involves a pan; if it's not a no-stick pan, you'd need some kind of oil or butter to melt. Then, you crack a couple eggs in a bowl, toss the shells away, whisk the eggs, add a little pepper and salt if you like that. Then, pour the eggs into the pan. Let it sit there til there's some bubbling going on underneath the surface. Sprinkle some shredded feta, a little well-drained spinach, some sauteed mushrooms, a little chopped bell pepper, a minced shallot, and fold. Flip the folded omelet to sear the other side, and serve.
I love you *********, got an answer for everything!!!!
I posited my question in more of a psychosensorical sense....but thanks for the.....um, answer!
I eat eggs every day. Monday through Friday I have an "Egg salad" sandwich for breakfast on whole wheat bread. I do not eat the yolks- just the whites and use minimal mayo. On the weekends I eat fried eggs on Saturday and scrambled on Sunday.

Eggs are good food, one thing I like is I can prepare and cook them easily, boiled, fried, sunny side up or omelet. One thing is I love to eat them freshly cooked. But I know how to control myself, too much is still bad for our health.
No, eggs should be eaten in extreme moderation, only a few per week at the most, because they contain polyunsaturated fatty acids which lower the metabolism. If you must eat eggs, cook them in coconut oil.
