Egg-licious!

Tip for today:

Back in the day eggs came in two varieties, brown or white; and from there the only other option of consideration was size. Today we have to choose between omega-3 fortified, cage free, free range and the list goes on and on. This can sometimes prove distracting when the main element in question should be cholesterol. Eggs carry more cholesterol than any other food and that is mainly stored in the yolk.  An average daily intake of cholesterol should be 300 milligrams per day, and that includes cholesterol from  other sources like dairy products, cakes, meat and so on. A large egg contains about 215 milligrams of cholesterol. So if you're aiming for a healthy heart and healthy arteries be aware of the amount of whole eggs that you are consuming daily and/or weekly.
