One large egg supplies about 70 calories, 6 grams of protein, 1 gram of carbohydrate, 5 grams of fat and 215 milligrams of cholesterol. This relatively high amount of dietary cholesterol, much more concentrated than in most other foods, gave eggs a bad name. Since elevated levels of blood cholesterol can predispose a person to heart trouble, doctors and dietitians began to recommend eating no more than two eggs a week. More recent research, however, suggests that it is not the dietary cholesterol intake alone that affects blood cholesterol, but rather the saturated fat in the diet. Experts believe most healthy people can include eggs as part of a balanced diet that is low in saturated fat.
