These people include those with both high cholesterol and high triglyceride levels. Cholesterol avoiders can still have unlimited egg whites because they contain no cholesterol and no fat. The rest of us can enjoy both egg whites and egg yolks - even those of us who have elevated cholesterol levels but normal or low triglyceride levels. To prevent heart disease, it is far more important for most people to limit fat in the diet, especially saturated fat. So, when you have eggs, eat them with lots of grain foods and fruit and veggies.
Eggs are a versatile food.
Not just for breakfast, eggs can be eaten from morning through night, as a simple snack or dessert, or as part of a full meal, plain or fancy. You can create a large variety of enticing entrees, side dishes, desserts and sauces with eggs. Since they perform so many different cooking functions, eggs make many of our favourite recipes possible.
