Eggs contain high-quality protein and are a good source of vitamins A, D, B2, B5 and B12. Current research shows that most healthy people can consume one egg yolk a day, as long as total cholesterol intake is at or less than 300 milligrams. One large egg has just 70 calories and egg whites are cholesterol free. In addition, eggs contain additional nutrients (lutein and zeaxanthin) that may promote healthy vision.
