Try Tesco's for Tuna, it's about 35 p a tin and 1 kilo of chicken breasts is £3.20............... so the wifey tells me

Asda 12 eggs for 97p and Iceland 15 eggs for £1.25.

I get my eggs from work for £7.50 for 90. I am sure they are getting ripped off having just looked at your prices. Seems like iceland/asda are best as i have been shopping around for a while. Was getting raped by Co-op for £2.60 for a dozen. Bastards - shame their shop is 10m from my front door. Rant off.

britegg.co.uk:

"It used to be thought that eating cholesterol-rich foods was directly linked to an increase in blood cholesterol levels and risk of heart disease, but it is now accepted that it is the saturated fat in our diet that adversely affects our blood cholesterol levels rather than the dietary cholesterol that we consume. This means that most of the population can eat an egg a day, in combination with a diet low in saturated fat, without adversely affecting their blood cholesterol levels".

What does that mean to people who eat 12 a day?

One large egg contains 190 - 200mg of cholesterol. A smaller egg will provide even less. One large egg contains only 5.0 grams of fat of which 1.5 grams is saturated fat.

The 200mg is LDL (Bad) and HDL (Good) together of which their is more HDL apparently all of which is found in the yolk of course.If you are healthy,it's recommended that you limit your dietary cholesterol intake to less than 300 mg a day so say the boffins.If you have cardiovascular disease,diabetes or high LDL cholesterol,you should limit your dietary cholesterol intake to less than 200 mg a day!So i would say 2400mg was alot,lol.
