I've just started a low carb diet and, so far, have had more eggs in 5days than I normally have in a month!! Can anyone tell me if this is OK as I remember a while ago, people saying too many eggs were bad for you.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Plus one for eggs. I like an evening meal of two eggs and roasted vegetables. Yum and its simple to cook it and log it.4

What you are remembering is the high cholesterol in eggs raising your serum cholesterol. Recent studies have shown that dietary cholesterol has minimal effect on serum cholesterol so eat them eggs!
Eggs are close to the perfect food. Tasty, versatile, packed with nutrition, and they come in their own little single-serving package that you can even keep closed to cook it.7 -
Eggs are the best! Try find some local farm fresh ones once in a while, to step up your egg game.3

Do you have a source for that? Because I'm pretty sure it's been proven that eating cholesterol does not raise cholesterol (it's saturated fat that does) - if I'm mistaken, I'd be really interested to know the truth.2 -
Apparently there's "good cholesterol" and "bad cholesterol" now. And eggs are no longer labelled as a negative.2

The only negative I can think of are egg farts.7

I have no idea what the final verdict is on egg cholesterol but since my family has bad cholesterol history i just buy the boxed egg whites and add them to 1 real egg so i only eat 1 yolk a day (which is where most or all of the cholesterol is) but probably 3 or 4 egg whites ☺1

Eggs are great! But be warned- there's a lot of sulfur in them and it doesn't just disappear...5

People with familial hypercholesterolemia need to watch dietary cholesterol and saturated fat. Trust me, if I didn't have FH, I'd be eating a lot of eggs. I adore them.

I'm lucky to be able to control mine just through diet and exercise since I only inherited the gene from one parent. I want to keep it that way. My sister is on statins.

Eggs are fine. I found that I just got sick of them.

Eggs are the most bioavailable form of protein there is. I eat one practically every day. You might get sick of them eventually but they aren't evil or anything.0

Define "too many". And whether that applies to everybody, or just people with certain conditions.0 -
