In just about every movie or TV show where someone is training physically for a fight, they seem to be shown eating/drinking like a half dozen raw eggs.

How many eggs a week is too many? Is it lcl cholesterol that people are concerned about?

    In movies they also show many other things that just aren't realistic.

    How many is too many depends on you and your family history. Some studies show no link to dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol, but if you have a family history of high cholesterol it might be a good idea to not eat a dozen whole eggs every day.

    Like many other things, it's dependent on certain factors. One of the most important factors is how much soluble fiber you're consuming in your diet with these eggs. Soluble fiber binds to dietary cholesterol to excrete it from your body.
