One egg contains 200 mg of cholesterol. The National Cholesterol
Education Program (NCEP) recommends that your daily consumption of cholesterol should not exceed 200 mg a day. However, the liver is capable of making all of the cholesterol needed to meet our daily requirements, so none of it really needs to come from the diet. So if you have 2 eggs for breakfast (which doesn't sound ridiculous) and nevermind all the other stuff you would have throughout the day, you're already double your daily allowance of cholesterol. See how easy it is to get high cholesterol? BTW 3 slices of bacon only have 15 mg of cholesterol.
