You really like eggs, but do not want to increase cholesterol levels in the body? Some tricks can be done.

As an illustration, one large egg contains 210 mg of cholesterol, about two-thirds of the daily intake limit, which is about 300 mg.

That's why, you must combine the eggs with low cholesterol diet. Lower your cholesterol intake, you also can still eat an egg every day. Cholesterol levels remained stable. How:

1. If you eat a big egg, limit the amount of cholesterol from other foods to about 90 mg per day.

2. Choose foods made from milk and derived low or fat-free. So also with meat, choose the fat content a bit.

3. Create at least one type of vegetarian food. Only foods derived from animals contain cholesterol. Plant foods have zero cholesterol.

4. Choose low-fat meat. No bigger than a pile of cards of about 85 grams.

5. Switch to medium-size eggs, then you save the extra 25 mg of cholesterol.

There is one exception. If the cholesterol in the blood are high enough, more than 240 mg / dl or you have high blood pressure or diabetes, limit daily intake of cholesterol is about 200 mg. Choose egg-sized or small and do not forget to cut cholesterol from other foods.
