Eggs are extremely good for you, they're jam packed with nutrients because the yolk is there to sustain a fragile baby chicken. People just get freaked out by the cholesterol content- they think that dietary cholesterol intake is what clogs your arteries, which is not true. The cholesterol that ends up in your arteries is produced endogenously by your body and has a massive genetic component that you can't control. It's not like when you eat cholesterol your body goes "Oh thank you Frank, I'll just go ahead and pack that directly into your widowmaker." It's processed, converted or excreted like everything else.
The incredible edible egg!
