Meningitis Cases, Eggs and Disease

If you're not sure if eggs should be part of a healthy diet, you're not alone.

Registered dietitian Julia Zumpano says only those with heart disease risk factors should be careful of the amount of eggs they eat.

She says egg whites are a great source of protein.

It's the yolk that has the cholesterol and saturated fat you may want to avoid.

Zumpano says avoid putting salt on your eggs to keep the amount of sodium in your diet lower.

She says a teaspoon of salt a day is all you need to stay within healthy levels.
