Is there a Dr. in the house..

im no doc but the cholesterol in eggs isnt the same as blood cholesterol

The link between dietary and blood cholesterol is very weak. It is estimated that 85% of your blood cholesterol is endogenous (aka, comes from yourself and not food). The other 15% may be related to diet. You can eat just about as many eggs as you can physically handle with minimal (if any) effect on your blood cholesterol. I've had 6+ a day for weeks at a time and didn't see any significant change when I donated blood (they give me a total cholesterol reading after) compared to times when I was trying to eat low fat and low cholesterol.

This includes references to studies where up to 3 eggs a day didn't effect blood cholesterol in 70% of the people, and only increased it slightly in the remaining 30%.

But, the best part is the following:

However… I did find an interesting case study (a study with only one individual). It was an 88 year old man who consumed 25 eggs per day.

He had normal cholesterol levels and was in very good health (37).

Of course, a study of one doesn’t prove anything, but it’s interesting nonetheless.

So, there you go... the amount is at least 3... and could be much higher... even more than 800% higher than that.

I was just think of devilled eggs as the perfect low card snack and how many I could get away with

Just depends on how many you can fit in your calorie/macro goals. I could easily demolish a dozen halves of those (6 whole eggs). Thanks for the recipe. I'm going to have to try that one. May skip the onion and celery though (or use celery salt).

all I can think is how nasty your farts are gonna be....sorry...

I enjoy this man very much

I stayed at a holiday inn last night... the myth of high cholesterol from eating high amounts of eggs is related solely to the fat content in the egg its self and not to the cholesterol level. Therefore if you have no preexisting condition then ...IIFYM

As has already been said, eating cholesterol has not been tied to high blood cholesterol. Most of the cholesterol in our bodies ts there because our bodies make it and put it there.

Also, the cholesterol cardiovascular disease correlation has not held true through further studies. Unfortunately a lot of nutritional guidelines (RDA anyone?) are based on old old research, and seriously in need updating.

As someone who is about to embark on a masters in public health with an emphasis on nutrition, I am sure I will be cringing at some the 'facts' about nutrition that I will be expected to learn.

I eat upwards of 10 a day... no GI issues here

- now- broccoli? salsa? clear the room sports fans.


nevertheless- eat up- And from what I have read unless you already have Cholesterol issues- there is no real issue with going to town on the eggs.

he already peels the paint of the walls :laugh:

Recent research has shown that moderate egg consumption—up to one a day—does not increase heart disease risk in healthy individuals and can be part of a healthy diet.

Decent article:

Agreed. Although my MD office says that 2 egg yolks a week are plenty....

Your MD is not a nutritionist and based on that response, I'd be looking for a new MD.

YOUR MD NEEDS ALOT MORE PRACTICE
