What are the pros and cons of eating eggs?
user
I’m not sure exactly what you mean by that. Do you mean, which kinds of protein do they contain?  What about the different vitamins and nutrients?
assistant
I mean, some people say things like they are bad for cholesterol
user
I think that has something to do with a chemical called “cholesterol”, and perhaps cholesterol is found in some foods more than in others.  Eggs contain cholesterol, but also contain lecithin, an antioxidant, and choline, a B vitamin that we need for neurological functions.  Those might help offset the bad effects of eating eggs on the cholesterol level.
assistant
Okay, so you recommend eating eggs every day? How many?
user
Eggs are a relatively low-fat food.  From the nutritional standpoint, I would recommend eating one egg every few days.  But I could recommend a similar approach to eating meat (not that you’re saying you eat meat, you’re saying you eat eggs).  So that’s one possibility: eat meat once a week and eggs once a week, and on the other five days, eat whole grains or beans, or some other kind of food.  Is that helpful?
assistant
Sure.

Eggs have some potential issues when cooked in oily or fried foods, or when they’re refrigerated and left at room temperature for a long time.  I’ve also heard they can interfere with the absorption of certain medications.  But a lot of things that are convenient to eat tend to come with some risks.  Are there any other ways I can help?
