Eggs, Egg Dishes, & Egg Substitutes
|
The good news is that eggs are okay - It is true that eggs are high in cholesterol, but they are also low in saturated fat - Eggs are rich in protein and the yolk is a good source of natural vitamin E. Eggs do increase cholesterol minimally, but they also increase HDL, the good cholesterol..
Omelets are a great way of including lots of healthful vegetables in your breakfast, while hard-boiled eggs have the advantage of being fast and convenient. If you don't like the yolk, egg white omelets made from Egg Beaters are good choices. So if you love eggs, go ahead and enjoy!
