Eggs?

I recently began a spinach salad kick and have been eating them pretty consistently for lunch with a little bit of hard boiled egg and honey mustard for dressing. Sometimes I'll substitute the egg for turkey and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. My question is, is eating 1 hard boiled egg an average of 5 days a week bad? I do not have any cholesterol problems, but is that too much for one week?

    Why would it be bad? If you don't have cholesterol issues, eat as many eggs as what fits your calories....I eat two eggs almost every day.....

    LOL love it. With no cholesterol problems. I don't see one egg a day for a week as a problem. They are a good source of protein and low in calories. I would say it is a good choice.

    I eat 4-6 eggs a day. It is the spinach that can cause trouble if you eat too much. Sounds goofy, but it's true. It can cause kidney stones, gout etc... Moderation on the spinach.

    I have history of high ldl and hdl. I don't give a ****. I eat whole eggs and as many as I want. The yolk is my fave.

    I only heard it recently. I wasn't very happy about it to be honest. I am a spinach lover!

    Please don't avoid spinach. My wild guess is that you probably have to eat a truckload and that's if it's even true. I never believe anything I've heard only once without all the facts. Grains of salt...

    Popeye ate spinach.

    Eggs are good. I don't like the yolk but I eat 3/4 cup of egg whites almost every day.

    If it fits within your calories you're fine eating eggs.

    I buy egg whites, but only because I eat 7-8 eggs at a time. 7-8 regular eggs would be more fat and calories than I want in my diet.

    It all depends on you.

    No one said to avoid spinach. I only suggested that dreaded "M" word... MODERATION. I know... I know... not allowed at MFP....
