You are absolutely correct, Roseann. You don't even need to think about the "offset".

What many people don't realize is that the body adjusts its own cholesterol production in accordance to its needs. "Excess cholesterol" from the diet, is not the main driver of blood cholesterol.. Fat is the main driver.

Here is why: the fat in your diet needs to be transported to the fat tissues where it is stored. The transport vehicles are the lipoproteins that you know as low-density and high-density lipoproteins (LDL and HDL) They also contain cholesterol, but their main payload is fat. That is, fat consumption determines LDL levels far more than cholesterol consumption. Also, different types of fats have different effects on LDL levels. Saturated and hydrogenated fats typically increase LDL, whereas mono- and polyunsaturated fats may decrease it.

Eggs, (particularly the egg yolks) are one of the most nutrient-dense foods. So, you don't need to offset anything when you eat eggs.

I eat several eggs per day, and my cholesterol levels are deep in the green zone. So, enjoy your hearty egg breakfast.
