Eggs are a popular breakfast food, known for being filling, delicious, and versatile. They are a good source of protein, vitamins, and key nutrients. However, the yolks are high in cholesterol, which has raised concerns about heart health.

The American Heart Association notes that guidance on the impact of dietary cholesterol on blood cholesterol and heart disease risk has evolved. A cardiologist, Dr. James Stone, eats eggs for their quality protein. He also considers what else is on his plate, avoiding carb-rich sides.

Further details on Dr. Stone's approach to eating eggs and maintaining heart health are available from the source.
