    I gotta ask, can a young male eat 3 or more eggs a day? I had a family member say that eating a egg everyday will harden your arteries; advise help needed sirs and madams.

    If you have a genetic predisposition to high cholesterol then I would watch egg consumption (as well as other fats) but that aside, eggs are fine. I eat 4 whole eggs a day and am perfectly healthy...

    If one must eat eggs, it is good to note that the cholesterol considered in them are "good cholesterol". Go for it.

    don't forget to read the comments on that page

    Where does the omega 3 come from in a egg BTW?

    Usually from supplementing the hens diet with flaxseed.

    Or just from letting them forage in pasture--just like grass-fed beef is higher in omega-3s than grain-fed beef.

    During my CKD runs, I eat upward of five dozen eggs per week. Still waiting to die.

    What's CKD?

    Cyclical ketogenic diet. Sub-30g carbs six days per week, with a massive carb refeed one day per week to refill glycogen stores.

    Sorry for the month late response.

    Eggs aren't good for you especially so many each day but I guess you're going to do what you want so not sure why you keep asking.

    You know what else is fantastic? Chicken breast omelette with a touch of ground livers. It's like eating the entire family tree in one meal.

    Damn, I need to make a store run after the gym today.

    Loved this!

    What do you call a chicken in a shell suit...?
