EGGS :
Incorporating Eggs into Your Diet
The best option in terms of limiting your fat intake is to use egg whites instead of whole eggs. You can also boil whole eggs and remove the yolk after cooking. If you occasionally want to include whole eggs in your diet, eat small eggs. Use a hard anodized or nonstick pan to avoid adding fat to the dish.

Other Considerations
When you include eggs in your daily meal plan, limit the cholesterol and saturated fats in other foods you eat throughout day to make sure you do not consume excess amounts of these fats. Regular exercise also helps keep your blood fat levels balanced. If your doctor prescribes cholesterol-lowering medication, be sure to take your prescription as directed. Keeping your blood fat levels within a healthy range reduces your risk of heart disease and stroke.
