    On One Hand: Eggs Contain Many Nutrients

    A single egg contains 13 different essential nutrients. Eggs provide folate, vitamin D, riboflavin and some healthy fats. They are also a great source of high-quality protein, as one egg contains 12 percent of the recommended daily amount. Protein can assist weight management as it helps keep energy levels up and makes you feel full.

    On the Other: Eggs are High in Cholesterol

    According to the Mayo Clinic, a single large egg contains over 200 mg of cholesterol. If you have diabetes, heart disease or high cholesterol, one egg would fill your daily dietary limit of cholesterol. Even healthy individuals have a recommended limit of 300 mg per day.

    Bottom Line

    Consuming eggs in moderation should not adversely affect your health and may be good for you. If you are concerned about cholesterol levels, limit other sources of cholesterol and still enjoy eggs. Another option is to eat egg whites, which are cholesterol-free.
