The cholesterol content in eggs can vary slightly based on their size. Here’s a general breakdown:
- Small egg (38 grams): Approximately 141 mg of cholesterol.
- Medium egg (44 grams): Approximately 164 mg of cholesterol.
- Large egg (50 grams): Approximately 186 mg of cholesterol.
- Extra-large egg (56 grams): Approximately 209 mg of cholesterol.
- Jumbo egg (63 grams): Approximately 235 mg of cholesterol.
All of the cholesterol in an egg is found in the yolk. The egg white contains no cholesterol. Keep in mind that dietary cholesterol (like that in eggs) has less impact on blood cholesterol levels for most people compared to saturated and trans fats. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized dietary advice.
