Eggs have cholesterol in the yolk. So some people prefer to eat only or mainly the whites. A large egg has, on average 185 mg, of cholesterol, an amount lower than they used to be believed to contain. Furthermore, some research indicates that eating this cholesterol may not be as much of a heart risk as previously thought. Our ability to digest it appears to make it less of a risk than some other forms of fat, like transfat or hydrogenated oils. In fact, some research shows that eating eggs for breakfast may help with weight loss.
