What does everyone here think? According to WebMD, dietary cholesterol has very little affect on blood cholesterol. Their research claims that a male eating 7 eggs a day over a period of time received normal results. Has anyone tried this? Thank you for your time.

    I don't eat 6 eggs a day but I eat 2 extra large or jumbo eggs most days. I just had my cholesterol tested and it was spot on.

    Another article on eggs:

    https://authoritynutrition.com/how-many-eggs-should-you-eat/

    Eggs have been demonized for decades and it's only recently that this has changed. I eat eggs once or twice a week; 6 eggs a day every day would tend to put me off eggs, but if someone loves them that much and is healthy, I say good for them. I personally believe in "everything in moderation" as a good rule of thumb -- eggs included.

    I haven't done it but don't think there's anything wrong with it. Eggs had gotten a bad rap but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. That's a whole lotta egg eating though.

    Expensive? Unless subbing for chicken breast or beef.

    I used to do it, when I was really broke. I would literally live off eggs and frozen veggies - my cholesterol was perfect when I got it tested when my mum thought it must be off the roof with such diet... I probably ate around 6-8 eggs a day.

    I eat minimum 2 eggs per day, sometimes up to 4. LOVE eggs!

    Same here! Eggs for breakfast almost every morning. And sometimes we have breakfast for dinner when my daughter requests it.

    I eat eggs every day. Sometimes real eggs, sometimes from the box. My cholesterol is fine.

    Less than 2 bucks for a meal is not expensive.

    Thank you all for your input. It's nice to hear from real people. I have been eating 6 eggs a day along with a cup of Quaker Oats for about 7months now. I've been feeling great at the gym. Thanks again y'all.

    So what else do you eat ?
    I eat about 20 eggs a week, brilliant as a snack (boiled)

    For lunch I eat a can of tuna with a banana, and for dinner I eat either 2 chicken breasts or a 6-8 ounce NY striploin steak along with a small portion of vegetables. I also have 2 glasses of milk and 8 cups of water and 3 cups of coffee somewhere within the day.

    Haha. Almost my exact meals minus the milk!

    There's a whole lot more to worry about than dietary cholesterol. Enjoy your eggs.

    I am no man, but I eat at least an egg a day, up to 3-4 depending on a day. Have been doing this for years now and feel great. Also eggs are a great source of iodine.
