Is egg yolk HDL or LDL cholesterol?

Answered by Egg Farmers of Ontario August 24th, 2026

Answer

Egg yolk doesn’t contain HDL or LDL cholesterol. It contains dietary cholesterol (200 mg per egg). HDL and LDL are lipoproteins in your blood that transport cholesterol, and the dietary cholesterol from eggs has minimal impact on blood cholesterol levels in most people.
