Some points to consider. |

I agree with TINCEY2001 and others. Use some fat. It'll keep you full longer. Eggs? Cholesterol in eggs doesn't raise your blood cholesterol unless you eat a dozen a day! Come on. Balance. Taste, satiety. |

Cholesterol in food does not make cholesterol in the body. This is a terrible, fat-phobic article.There are much better articles and other sources on healthy substitutions that actually ARE healthy and well-considered. I agree, it's a shame to see such ill-considered nonsense on Spark, but they do somehow get through sometimes. |

I use egg whites because of caloric intake, not cholesterol issues. I also use coconut oil when I bake instead of using butter. Applesauce can be substituted for the oil quite often as well. Also, I almost always cut the sugar by half when baking muffins and such. I use nonfat, plain yogurt to sub for some of my mayo, sour cream, and even butter in some things. I also use agave nectar instead of sugar sometimes because it has about half the glycemic index. |

Despite all the drama, as far as I'm concerned, it's still the incredible, edible egg! I refuse to ditch yolks unless I am making mousse or an angel food cake ;-) Otherwise, I think it's cool to have suggestions for making recipes healtheir overall. |

I ditch the yolks, but let my dog eat them, as I hear it is good for their coat. If cooked right, you hardly notice the difference. |

For those of us with high cholesterol, one egg a day is fine. If using 2 eggs, it's probably not a bad idea to ditch one of the yolks (though not absolutely necessary if you don't eat eggs every day; since this article is about recipe substitutions, meaning the eggs are probably distributed over a number of servings, I don't expect it would matter in any case). As far as waste, well, I never waste a yolk because my dogs are happy to eat them for me! :D |

This article confused me too. I've been hearing more and more that eggs in moderation are Ok, such as 1/day or less. |

I'm also confused. You hear that it is okay to eat the eggs because it contains good cholestrol that you need. There is a difference between good and bad and eggs are suppose to be good. I have high cholestrol and I've been tossing my egg yokes since I started with sparks but I'd like to know if it really makes a difference because I love the yoke. Plus I was taught not to waste food and I feel like I am. |

I'm confused -- I thought I just read a spark people article about how I should eat the whole egg since there's "nothing" in the whites. ? |

The egg yolk, while containing cholesterol, also contains lecithin which keeps it from entering the bloodstream. Shame to see that in a nutrition article! |

I too, was disappointed to read the ditch the egg comment. I am now extremely confused, having read two conflicting articles one after the other. My husband's specialist (he has a high cholesterol problem) has advised that up to 6 eggs a week is fine. I ignore the sharp rise in cholesterol count on SP when I log in my omelette. |
