People who want all the benefits of eggs minus the cholesterol should look no further than Egg Beaters, a brand of egg product that offers you the nutrients and protein found in the original eggs without the cholesterol. According to their website, the makers of this refrigerated liquid egg product take out the yolk -- which contains most of the cholesterol -- and then add its nutrients back in to the egg whites. The result is a highly versatile liquid that contains only 30 calories per one-fourth cup serving. Bake it to eat alone or use it in place of shell eggs in your favorite recipes.
