Two Eggs Yes or No

Posted by spymama on Oct-2-2008

First, they say eggs are good for you. Then they say eggs are bad for you. Eggs have protein and they also have cholesterol. So which one should I choose. I love the yolks more than the whites.

According to those health experts, daily intake of cholesterol is limited to 300 milligrams in a day. If you eat a large egg, you would be putting in about 215 milligrams of cholesterol. So perhaps I should just have one egg. But if you want to have half boiled eggs, ONE IS NOT SHIOK! It’s gotta be TWO. So that means I have taken in access of 430 - 300 = 130 milligrams of cholesterol. Oooh.. Do I mind? No! They say garlic reduces cholesterol. So why not have more garlic on the days that I have eggs? Do they work? Bummer!

The American Heart Association adviced or recommends that we should limit eating egg yolk to three or four times a week. And it says that you can eat as much of the whites as you like but i don’t really like whites without the yolks.

Eggs have a hight source of protein, Vitamin B, iron and other minerals.

So what is my verdict if I want to eat two eggs? Perhaps I’ll just have them twice a week then. My cholesterol level has been fine, cross my fingers, toes. I wont fret. I’ll go for two eggs!

Two half boiled eggs, with a dash of dark soya and pepper! Wash it down with a big cup of coffee!
