    the protein in eggs is considered the highest quality...meaning the amino acid profile is the highest of any protein source.

    while it is true eggs are high in cholesterol, that doesn't mean that consuming eggs will raise your cholesterol. Several studies have shown that just because eggs are high in cholesterol, there wasn't a correlating increase in cholesterol in the blood stream. This is because the cholesterol isn't absorbed by the body to any high degree due to substance in eggs called phospholipid. The phospholipid, or lecithin, found in egg markedly inhibits the cholesterol absorption. The inhibition is not 100 percent. Some cholesterol is absorbed but the amount is significantly reduced in the presence of this phospholipid.

    A body-building friend of mine once told me you need the protein content of both whites and yolks in eggs for all the proteins to properly work together.
