    cholesterol in eggs =/= cholesterol in blood. if im not mistaken eggs have been found to reduce blood cholesterol in recent studies.

    eggs are awesome, eat away

    I just had my blood tested for my insurance and I was eating a lot of eggs and it did come up high. My doctor did tell me to use more whites and limit my yolks. So I have whites and then 2ish yolks a week.

    I eat fried eggs after I work out, plus 2 microwaved eggs almost daily for breakfast. My blood work is fine.

    I eat a lot of eggs for dinner. Omelettes and what not. Everyone is different though. The only way to make sure eating fried eggs everyday is okay for your body is to get a cholesterol test.

    Because I am a low Carber, I eat a lot of eggs.
    I have never had a problem with my health due to eating to many eggs.

    Here's my own personal anecdote.\

    I eat three eggs almost every day for breakfast. My blood work is perfect, and my cholesterol level was (last time it was checked, which was last December) was well below the threshold, and is well below what it was when I wasn't eating that many eggs, but wasn't working out. I can't remember the actual number, but my doctor was very pleased with everything. So... For me, eating lots of eggs is no problem.

    I ate 3 eggs per day for over a year and my cholesterol went down.

    Eggs are great. For most people, dietary cholesterol has no effect on serum cholesterol. It's just a fear that is a carryover of the "don't eat x because it clogs your arteries" myth.

    Your doctor must be one heck of a forensics expert to be able to narrow your cholesterol level down to one specific item in one specific aspect of your life, that's impressive. OR (and more likely) he is simply spouting decades old wives tales about cholesterol in eggs being bad for you.

    Eggs are fins, and recent studies have shown that dietary cholesterol has no appreciable effect on your LDL level. Eat up, and don't throw out the yolk, that's sacrilege.

    The thought of not eating the whole egg & throwing away the best bit - e.g. the yolk seems sacrilege to me, I say eat away - but if you are worried about fried eggs being a bit high on fat, you could always try poached in water or my favourite, scrambled. I eat about 4 or 5 a week & despite being v.overweight my cholesterol has always been fine.

    You can eat 3 eggs a day and you'll be fine.

    what about 4 eggs a day?

    or 8 eggs a day?

    I eat eggs everyday too! I can't live a day without them either. :) I have never noticed any negative health effect from eating eggs.

    So I was an vegetarian for 2 years, I ate more than 2+ pretty much everyday so nothing happened. I was fine. A lot of foods could increase cholesterol level, not just eggs.

    I suspect you could eat more than you'd like or want but people are always free to experiment.

    It's not a problem! Eggs have healthy fats and very high on protein! That's why they fuel your body after workout and it's a great way to start your day.
