    Eggs are amazing.

    Custard. Omelets. Souffles. creme anglais. Quiche. fritatta. Scotch eggs. Eggs benedict. popovers. German pancakes. deviled eggs.


    etc etc

    Some of the best things in life.

    He also ate a Guinness World Record six Cadbury Creme Eggs in one minute.
    I can do that!

    I think I could double that, though I wouldn't taste them. Hm, is there any money in it?

    You get your name in the book, and probably the kid's crazy records edition. Money comes and goes, but being legendary stays forever.

    :laugh: Not a bad deal, but if I ever try it, I'll want an EMT on hand. I'd hate to choke and have that accomplishment go on my tombstone.

    For me, two servings of egg whites with fat free cheese most mornings. I control diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol through diet so I can stay off meds. I am also vegetarian and get some of my daily protein from egg whites. YMMV.

    Plus, whole eggs make me fart and that is just not nice coming from an old lady.

    Cholesterol is mainly genetic, dietary cholesterol does not link to blood cholesterol. Eat your eggs and keep the yolks in! Unless you're taking them out to cut the calories.

    I eat typically 5 eggs a day (2 scrambled and 3 hard boiled)

    unless you have a per-exsisting problem with cholesterol you will not be affected by eating more eggs.

    Most I have eaten in a day was a dozen.

    Typically, 4-6 eggs if I am having scrambled eggs or something. If I am not really hungry, I may drop that down to three. Occasionally, I will just have 1 egg... but that's because it's on top of a streak or chicken breast.

    Oh... so good to hear that others eat eggs every day too. I'm allergic to fish, soy, and nuts..... so I go to eggs and chicken for my protein ( and greek yogurt). I eat at least two a day... sometimes three. No more than that. And sometimes I dot eat the whole yolk. ( my dog begs something terrible.)

    I typically eat an egg a day, but I haven't eaten any the whole of last week and now I ate two yesterday and two today. Is this bad? In terms of saturated fat and cholestrol?

    Unless you have a medical condition, no...

    Is it bad to eat a 3 egg omellette?

    I used to eat 4 egg whites but I don't like them now

    Three eggs is better than a whites-only omelet.

    Why's it gotta be omelettes for whites only?

    The only reason I can think of to even bother separating them would be to whip some air into the whites before folding the beaten yolks in with it. That would be a "proper" omelet, IMO.

    Glad you asked OP, I can eat 6 eggs a day and I've sometimes wondered if it was terrible. Glad to see it's not lol

    When I started lifting to gain weight, instead of a gallon of milk a day (GOMAD), I did a dozen eggs a day (ADEAD) for 3 months. No health issues arose from it.
    +1.. exactly what I needed to know. Thanks! XD I'm trying this.

    It really depends on what you can tolerate. I can't have any eggs - well, maybe like... one a week. They make me really, really sick, really fast. x.x

    I eat 12 whole eggs and 4 egg whites a day. I don't have high blood pressure or cholesterol. But that is just me though if you have a history of either you may want to consult with your doctor.

    I eat an average of 4-6 large whole eggs every day. For breakfast, I usually add a couple ounces of full fat cheese. Lunches are often egg salad with a tbsp or more of real mayo. I also don't hold back on butter and while milk. You get the idea; lots of fat, most of it saturated, and lots of cholesterol. I keep my total calories within my maintenance range and get plenty of exercise and my cholesterol levels and lipid levels have never been lower.

    Dietary cholesterol and fat have almost no effect on your blood levels. Your body will make all the cholesterol it thinks it needs regardless of what you eat. The medical community has had that wrong for quite a while and is finally now slowly owning up to it. Being overweight, not being active, and too much sugar in your diet messing with insulin levels are what you need to watch as risk factors for high cholesterol and cardiovascular issues.
