Really? The whole egg? I buy liquid egg whites, so it's not like I'm wasting the yolk (I still have nightmares about my dad yelling at me for throwing out the yolks, but he wasn't upset that I was wasting the nutrition in the yolk).

I have high cholesterol and while I only have eggs a few times a week, I don't know if I should be eating the yolks. I get fat in my diet through olive oil, some nuts, low fat cheese and milk. I'd like to get my cholesterol under control, I know there is controversy about whether eggs contribute to cholesterol, but they're on my list of things to limit with sweets, fried foods, and other high fat stuff.

Yep, egg yolks have choline in them and most of us are deficient in that. Also people who eat eggs tend to lose more weight. Most people can eat one or two whole eggs without any issues with cholesterol (which was a concern perviously). This does a better job of summing up just how many benefits we get from eggs than I could:

Not only have studies shown that eggs do not significantly affect cholesterol levels in most individuals, but the latest research suggests that eating whole eggs may actually result in significant improvement in one's blood lipids (cholesterol) profile—even in persons whose cholesterol levels rise when eating cholesterol-rich foods.
