A typical large egg will have between 200 and 225 mg of cholesterol, all of which is found in the yolk. To give you some perspective, a healthy diet won't have more than 300 mg of cholesterol per day.

For a chicken, an egg has 20l milligrams of cholesterol. However, if you don't eat the yolk and just have the white, there is hardly any cholesterol.
