I have never been convinced that avoid eggs is the way to a better, healthier heart. The egg may contain some cholesterol, but it also has at least 13 essential vitamins and minerals including vitamins D and E. Take a moment to think about an egg. What is it? The purpose of the egg is to incubate a chick. To do so, there has to be a lot of nutrition in that little egg to help the chick grow.
Similar to how what type of fat you consume affects your health and body composition, the same is true for how chickens are fed. To get the maximum amount of nutritional benefit choose eggs that are "Omega 3" such as Eggland's Best. The chickens are fed a better diet which, in turn, changes the fat and nutrient compisition of the egg.
According to "Use em Don't Lose Em."
- Adding eggs to a weight loss diet regimen may help lower blood cholesterol versus those who ate egg substitutes
- Many of the egg's nutrient are found in the yolk
- High quality protein helps people who are trying to lose weight feel fuller longer and stay energized

I have been eating 3 Tbsp egg whites and 1 organic egg every morning with a large dose of broccoli and cauliflower and some black beans and it really kick starts my metabolism. The protein also keeps me full until lunch.
