A member asked:
How is it that eggs help you lose weight though they are aparently bad for people with high cholesterol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eggs are good food: Eggs are only 75 calories and an excellent source of protein. Many diets recommend them. If you have a very high cholesterol, egg beaters which are egg whites without the yolk (which is were the cholesterol is) might be "just what the doctor ordered!".
