And we started out as small critters who ate a lot of dinosaur eggs, and kept at it for maybe 150 million years. So I figure eggs are good, just not too many. One of the necessary nutrients in eggs is choline. We supposedly would do best on about 550mg of choline per day:

One large egg has about 147mg, so 2 eggs/day gets you about half your requirement. There are other dietary choline sources and we do make some choline in our bodies, don't know how much though. My wife and I only go through about a dozed eggs/week and eat no dinosaurs (just their eggs) or mammals. Looking at that, I started supplementing with sunflower lecithin. It does seem like that addition helped me heal faster. Anyway, no harm in it that I know of - no cholesterol in lecithin.

To the OP, I had borderline cholesterol levels at your age and now had 3 stents and one minor heart attack, in spite of having been an ovo-lacto-pisco "vegetarian" for 50-some years. It is said that cardiologists lose their license if they don't prescribe a statin for folks your age. Seriously, consider taking a statin. About 80% of people can take one with zero side effects.
