How much cholesterol in an egg?

Studies conducted from Boston University School of medicine provide support that there is no link between dietary cholesterol intake and cardio metabolic outcomes.

Research has also discovered that eggs contain lower amounts of cholesterol than previously recorded. The USDA discovered that the average amount of cholesterol found in one large egg is down 14%, from 215mg to 185mg.

If you shy away from eggs for health reasons, consider chatting with your healthcare professional about the possibility of introducing or re-introducing eggs into your diet!

How many eggs should you eat at breakfast?

Is it okay to eat eggs every day? This is a personal question, as for some people they can eat eat eggs every day while others should limit their intake to a few times a week. While many studies show there is not a direct link between dietary cholesterol and total cholesterol in the blood for most people, there could be a small percentage of the people that have to watch how much saturated fat is in their food as that could elevate cholesterol levels for some.

The Dietary Guidelines still recommends limiting cholesterol to 300mg per day and one egg contains 185mg cholesterol.

If you’re going to eggs for breakfast, 2 eggs provides 12 grams of protein but to up protein to around 25-30 grams you can pair 1-2 whole eggs with egg whites or whole grains, dairy or higher protein veggies.
