Eggs

I signed up to receive emails from The Spartan Race.  They send a Workout Of The Day and a Food Of The Day.
Thursdays Food Of The Day (FOD) was Eggs.  Here's what they had to say about it...
 Eggs contain an abundance of choline (primarily in the yolk), which is a key nutrient for boosting brain function, as well as reducing fatty liver deposits. Eggs are a great source of protein, selenium, and vitamin A, an important nutrient for good vision. Contrary to popular belief, eating eggs does not contribute to heart disease! For the sake of happy chickens and healthy eggs, choose local, free-run eggs from a reputable farm.

We have ten chickens!  Therefore we eat a lot of eggs around here!  And people always say "What about the cholesterol?!?!"  Well, eggs have about 180mg of cholesterol in them, and healthy individuals should only have about 300mg of cholesterol a day.  If you are eating lots of other foods with cholesterol then maybe limit your egg intake.  I average about 250mg of cholesterol a day.  That includes a hard boiled or scrambled egg.  Moderation, right???
But, don't fall into the mentality that eggs are a terrible thing.  The yolks are really good for you!  Egg whites are great, and contain no cholesterol,  but don't always skip the yolk!

So
