    I eat an egg almost every day. I LOVE eggs and I refuse to give them up. Bananas also.

    Most people say to give them up because of the cholesterol. However, all studies I have seen say that trans fats and saturated fats in our diet are far more detrimental to our LDL cholesterol levels than food cholesterol.

    So have your egg. And eat it too. :flowerforyou:

    Eggs are really good for you. The yokes have a good amount of cholesterol in them, but eggs have actually been shown to lower LDL (Bad cholesterol) levels and raise HDL (Good cholesterol) levels.

    Eggs are good for the protein, check to see how your protein is at the end of the day. Sometimes we for get to eat the protein we need. They give you energy!

    I have two a day at times at work for a break. Today I added the hard boiled eggs to my salad.

    When I was with LA weight loss, I could only eat 3 eggs a week, because of the cholesterol in them. Don't want to over do a good thing.

    I eat them at least 4 days a week, 2-3 eggs at a time - so easily a dozen a week! Love 'em!

    Let's see, they're about 1.66 calories per gram and our eggs are about 45 grams. At 2800 calories TDEE that's 37 eggs per day. Assuming I live to 75 years old that would be 418,655 eggs.
