Cardiologist reveals his favorite way to eat eggs for ‘amazing protein'

The useful part

Supremely filling, delicious and versatile, eggs are a breakfast staple filled with protein, vitamins and key nutrients. The yolks are also famously high in cholesterol, leaving many egg lovers worried about previous warnings about what that could do to their heart health. While eggs contribute 25% of dietary cholesterol in the U.S., the thinking about how that impacts a person's blood cholesterol and heart disease risk has changed, the American Heart Association notes.

How it works

• James Stone, a cardiologist at the South Heart Clinic in Harlingen, Texas, but he pays particular attention to what else is — and isn't — on his plate.
• Eat eggs for quality protein, but skip the carb-rich sides Eggs are "amazing protein," Stone says.
• He skips the bread, potatoes, tortillas and other carbs that people often eat with egg dishes as part of his personal rule to avoid high-starch white foods like white flour in his diet.
• (People might say), 'Oh my god, look at your portions.' I don't care about that.
