With Easter on the horizon, I began to think about eggs, and not only the chocolate variety. Eggs are a wonderful source of protein and many other important nutrients, but they are seen as a high-fat food. Despite being high in dietary cholesterol, eggs are actually low in saturated fat, unlike most high-cholesterol foods. The problem with eggs is not so much the eggs themselves, but how they're prepared and what they're served with. Once you cut butter, cheese and bacon from egg dishes, you're more likely to be left with a wholesome, nutritious food. Find out how eggs can fit into a low-fat diet.
