Eggs Are OK

An excerpt from All Miavita Tip of the Day:

Many studies have shown that saturated fat is a much greater factor in heart disease than dietary cholesterol. Eggs are high in dietary cholesterol, but relatively low in saturated fat. Eaten in moderation as part of a low-fat diet, they’re unlikely to raise heart disease risk. On a daily diet of 2,000 calories, you’d want to limit yourself to no more than 140 calories of saturated fat. One egg contributes 14 calories of saturated fat. It also has only 70 calories, and is a good source of protein, vitamin B-12, riboflavin, iron and zinc. To keep fat content and calories low, substitute egg whites for some of the whole eggs used in omelets, or try egg substitutes.

I support this statement because all my life I’ve heard of the many benefits of eating eggs for building muscle mass and we all need more to loose weight. See earlier post.
