I know eggs have cholesteral in them so that can be bad for someone who has problems with there cholesteral. I have 1 egg for breakfast with whole grain toast about 3x a week. I do not have cholesteral problems at all. Not yet anyway but I don't want to cause problems in the future. So can eating eggs 3x a week cause a problem. I did recently buy some egg beaters and they do not have the yolk in them so they also don't have the cholesteral that regular eggs do. I have them every once in a while too.

If you had cholesterol problems i'd say stay away from anything with high cholesterol but since you do not i say eat up. 3x a week is not a problem.

Eggs have some bad cholesterol, but also good cholesterol. Unless you have cholesterol problems I wouldn't worry about eating eggs, they contain a lot of nutrients that are good for your body. However, I do believe in the claims of some that oxidised egg yolk is bad, preferably you should not break the egg yolk before/during cooking. So try and avoid scrambled eggs, omelets...

My concern with Eggs is not Cholesterol but Arachidonic Acid in the yolks!Very pro inflammatory especially for those with Auto Immune disorders!! later!!
