Its a bodybuilder trick but in some recipes you can leave out some of the yokes e.g in the squash omelette I use 3 egg whites and 1 whole egg, hope this helps

Have been on this for a week or so and checking my menu and others posts, i think you have to forget all that you have been told about dieting/losing weight because most of it is just not true. ie cereal for breaky, its not the best choice

ps my dad used to have 2 poached eggs every morning, thats 14 a week and never did him any harm. his cholesterol was always fine.

Hi, Blondy. It depends on a couple of key factors.
1. Your genes, and how your body responds to eggs: 2/3 of the population does not have a problem.
2. The type of egg: regular industrially-produced eggs are generally not so good, but omega-3 eggs or those that are grass-fed/free-range tend to be gentler on the body.
3. How you cook the egg: cooking without added fat or in olive or organic canola is much better than cooking in animal fat (i.e. butter) or soy or corn oil.
4. What you eat with the egg: a good source of vitamin C, i.e. from fruit, is highly recommended.
Under one or a combination of these conditions, even up to 3 eggs per day have been observed to be safe.
