Too Many Eggs?

MWAgent

When logging my meals, my macros and micros are generally in line with the suggested daily amounts. However, my cholesterol is a over the limit by almost 50% most days. I eat two eggs at least 5 days a week. Should I be concerned about modifying my diet?

Nope.

No. I eat 3 eggs just about every day for breakfast. My doctor has no complaints about anything with regards to my health. I typically go in once a year for my annual check-up/physical - sometimes again, if I catch a respiratory bug - and that's it.

Science is always flipflopping over the effect of eggs on cholesterol and cardiovascular health.

A few studies from 2016 have promising results suggesting that eating 1 egg a day has no effect on cardiovascular health. You'll always find conflicting science, but I personally think that 1 egg a day is not harmful. More than that, who knows. To stay on the safe size, you may want to cut back. Up to you.

Sugar effects cholesterol levels... eating foods with cholesterol does not!!

they're delicious, i can't get tired of eggs... but generally i don't go over 3 or 4 whole eggs in a day, and get the rest of my fats from other foods. i don't even eat whole eggs every day either... just whatever fats i feel like having for that day. i defiantly wouldn't worry about having 2 eggs a day, merely my opinion.

Some people can have intestinal issues with eggs.

Unless you have familial hypercholesterolemia, you don't need to worry about dietary cholesterol.

I usually stick with 2 scrambled eggs daily and mix in as much egg whites as I want.

I eat a egg muffin everyday. I find that since it's in a muffin form, it makes it feel like your eating more than just one egg.
