I personally love my medium boiled eggs as a snack if i have calories left over and i still hungry. but I hear conflicting reports about too many egg yolks per week. </span> </div></div>
Every year my cholesterol is fine so I just continue to enjoy eggs. Like Rich, I'd heard that scientists have revised their view regarding the influence of eggs on cholesterol and overall health.

Re: Healthy Eating Support - Week of 21 Feb 2011

Here's what the Mayo Clinic has to say about eggs &amp; cholesterol.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">Question</span>
Eggs: Are they good or bad for my cholesterol?
Are chicken eggs good or bad for my cholesterol?

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">Answer</span>
<span style="font-style: italic">from Thomas Behrenbeck, M.D.</span>
Chicken eggs are high in cholesterol, and a diet high in cholesterol can contribute to high blood cholesterol levels. However, how much the cholesterol in your diet can increase your blood cholesterol varies from person to person.

When deciding whether to include eggs in your diet, consider the recommended daily limits on cholesterol in your food:

If you are healthy, it's recommended that you limit your dietary cholesterol intake to less than 300 milligrams (mg) a day.
If you have cardiovascular disease, diabetes or a high low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or &quot;bad&quot blood cholesterol level, you should limit your dietary cholesterol intake to less than 200 mg a day.
One large egg has about 213 mg of cholesterol — all of which is found in the yolk. Therefore, if you eat an egg on a given day, it's important to limit other sources of cholesterol for the rest of that day. Consider substituting servings of vegetables for servings of meat, or avoid high-fat dairy products for that day.

If you like eggs but don't want the extra cholesterol, use only the egg whites. Egg whites contain no cholesterol. You may also use cholesterol-free egg substitutes, which are made with egg whites. If you want to reduce cholesterol in a recipe that calls for eggs, use two egg whites or 1/4 cup (59 milliliters) cholesterol-free egg substitute in place of one whole egg.

The British Heart Foundation says something else.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">I've heard that eating too many eggs can raise your cholesterol - how many can I eat?</span>

<span style="font-style: italic">For most people there is currently no limit on the number of eggs that you can eat in a week. However, because the recommendation has changed over the years, it's often a common source of confusion.

In the past a restriction on eggs was recommended because we thought that foods high in cholesterol (including liver, kidneys and shellfish, as well as eggs) could have an impact on cholesterol levels in the body.

However, as research in this area has developed, so has our understanding of how foods that contain cholesterol affect people’s heart health.

For most people, the amount of saturated fat they eat has much more of an impact on their cholesterol than eating foods that contain cholesterol, like eggs and shellfish. So unless you have been advised otherwise by your doctor or dietician, if you like eggs, they can be included as part of a balanced and varied diet.</span>
