Nutrition Tip Eggs are back in favor after the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines no longer limit the intake of dietary cholesterol to 300 mg. In fact, eggs are an excellent source of protein and contain all essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own. The cholesterol-containing yolk also contains vitamins A, E, D, B6, and B12, choline, riboflavin, selenium, iron, and antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin. Eggs make a great protein-rich breakfast and lunch as scrambled eggs, omelets or frittatas, and hardboiled eggs are a perfect on-the-go snack.
