He said that while eggs provide good protein value to our daily intake, they also give us high cholesterol intake, which people need to be aware of, especially for those who need to take a close attention to the amount of cholesterol intake they can have everyday.
He then searched the web to validate what he was saying. An extra large egg can give you 7g of protein. However, it also gives you an astonishing 237mg of cholesterol, likely 79% of daily value based on a 2,000 calorie diet.
I was indeed shocked to read the percentage value of simply one extra egg. Imagine sometimes we go to a diner for breakfast and have a two-egg breakfast, it could have already given us more than what we should have regarding cholesterol intake.
So, while most of us like eggs and we all know about how good eggs are, we need to be cautious in incorporating them into our meals and not to consume more than we should!
