    Dr. Dean Ornish answered:

    Eggs are a good source of protein. The egg white provides all of the protein, whereas egg yolks have all the cholesterol. If you have heart disease or high cholesterol, focus on consuming egg whites. Two egg whites can substitute for one egg in most recipes. Some eggs are fortified with omega-3 fatty acids.

    Eggs contain quite a nutritional punch. One egg contains about 10 percent of your daily protein requirements and is also packed with vitamins A, D and B12, as well as lutein and zeaxanthin. Keep in mind though, one egg also contains186 milligrams of cholesterol and 5 grams of fat.
