Actually, these days eggs are not "taboo" for low-cholesterol diets. In fact, even specialty docs say that as much as one egg per day is perfectly acceptable. In fact, here's a little blurb from today's healthy eating e-mail I receive daily:
"And when you're looking for lean sources of protein, don't forget about eggs. They're low in calories and fat and rich in B vitamins, vitamins E and A, and choline. As for their high cholesterol content, it turns out that eggs may have been unfairly maligned. Doctors now know that dietary cholesterol doesn't influence your blood cholesterol nearly as much as saturated and trans fats do. Since an egg has just 5 grams of fat (1.5 grams of saturated fat), one whole egg a day can fit neatly into a healthy low-fat diet."
