Some people are sensitive to dietary cholesterol or have medical conditions like familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic disorder that causes very high LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels. If this applies to you, it's best to chat with a healthcare provider or dietitian to determine the best approach. In this scenario, your recommended weekly egg intake might be lower than that of most people.
