It's just about finding a balance in your nutrition and what you like eating. Also, you don't always have to eat the yolk - u can just use egg whites and you'll get a load of protein from that.

Egss are an excellent source of protein and good fat, but if you don't like them, don't force yourself to eat them. -------------- Challenge + Consistency = Results

So, every morning? Definitely! :) PS. I eat one egg and three whites every morning and my doctor says he wishes his cholesterol panel looked as good as mine. :) -------------- Challenge + Consistency = Results

The outcome of these studies support results from several other studies published in the last decade, and suggests that an egg or two daily may be acceptable for people with normal blood cholesterol levels. With more research and improved technology, doctors and dietitians may soon be personalizing dietary cholesterol recommendations. However, until we know more about individual dietary cholesterol limits, ask your doctor to assess your personal heart disease risk and dietary needs. Keep in mind that dietary guidelines do not apply to a single meal, recipe, or food, but to your diet over a period of several days, or even a week. Reductions in saturated fat intake typically result in lower cholesterol consumption, since many high fat foods are also cholesterol-rich. But you don't have to consume only foods low in fat and cholesterol. Practice moderation by balancing foods high in fat or cholesterol with low-fat selections. For example, there's no need to avoid eggs on a heart-health diet. Even cholesterol-lowering diets allow moderate amounts of whole eggs. There is no limit on egg whites, since they're cholesterol and fat-free." Not a 'damn' good source of cholesterol afterall. -------------- Challenge + Consistency = Results

	2003/07/11, 06:46 PM I'm going with asimmer on this one, but then again I don't f**k very many doctors, mainly because my main one is an 80-year-old guy. -------------- OSU Law Rugby....specializing in personal injury and pain & suffering.
