I usually eat an omelet with one whole egg and 4-5 whites. One to two yolks a day will not harm you...here's a review of health effects of egg cholesterol:

Here's a particularly relevant quote:
Quote:
There was no evidence that changes in dietary cholesterol intakes altered the postprandial plasma lipoprotein profile (lipoproteins thought to be involved in the development of atherosclerosis) and thus did not alter the atherogenic potential of the plasma lipoproteins. The data indicate that in the majority of healthy young men addition of two eggs per day to a low-fat diet has little effect on plasma cholesterol levels.
