According to the National Cholesterol Education Program, people who are of
"normal" health can eat up to one whole egg per day, more if they reduce
other animal products for vegetarian ones later in the day. Someone who is
considered "high risk" (current high cholesterol level and/or family history
of heart disease) it is recommended to only have two egg yolks per week, but
as many egg whites as they would like since the cholesterol is concentrated
in the yolk, not the white. Eggs contain 213mg of cholesterol and the
recommended daily limit is 300mg. An alternative to regular eggs might be
Omega 3 enhanced eggs, but I haven't ever checked to see how readily
available they are in the stores. They apparently contain 7 times more
omega 3 fatty acids than regular eggs.
