Eggs are my go-to almost every day after my morning workout. I eat the whole egg. I have heard that they're just fine to eat every day but I've also heard they're bad to eat too often. So what's really the truth? Anyone have first hand experience with eating eggs almost every day?

I have 2 eggs just about every day and I've had no problems with it. No cholesterol issues or anything, though mfp always tells me I'm over for my cholesterol for the day I've never actually had any cholesterol problems from it. I think (though I could be wrong) that only people who already have issues with their cholesterol or who are at higher risk for issues need to limit their egg intake. But I love them, they are a great source of protein and they keep me full and satisfied so I will keep eating them0

Eggs are also my go-to. Egg muffins, hard boiled, egg drop soup. I had backyard chickens and there's nothing like fresh eggs. I have my bloodwork done annually and have had no ill effects. I guess it depends on your body...0

I eat an egg with 2 tablespoons of egg whites every night and my bad cholesterol and triglycerides actually went down.
So, yeah, unless you have one of those diseases that you shouldn't actually be eating dietary cholesterol, you're doing fine.0 -
The information is very conflicting, isn't it. I choose to eat them.0

Day 30 of eating 12 egg whites a day. Currently sick. Don't know if related0

Eggs got a bad rep several years ago because they do contain cholesterol. What I've heard from medical professionals is the cholesterol your body produces is the problem, not the cholesterol in food. The fats and processed foods (or genes) are more likely a culprit for people with high numbers. And.. I eat at least one egg for breakfast every day.0

If you and your loved ones can stand the resulting sulfuric body emissions, there's no reason not to enjoy them as part of a well balanced diet.
I have a couple eggs for breakfast probably 2-4 times per week.0 -
2 to 3 eggs and whey protein in water probably 5 or 6 days a week for me. I am looking forward to my next blood workup. I expect HUGE improvements and nothing negative from all the eggs. I choose organic cage free but thats not to say non organic are bad.0

I eat two eggs a day, and my cholesterol is AWESOME. According to my doctor, it's a myth that eating eggs=high cholesterol. Eggs are a great source of protein and other goodies.0

6 per day. Never felt or looked better.0

Eggs are awesome. As others have stated, the current research/thinking is that dietary cholesterol doesn't relate to cholesterol levels in humans.0
-
Pretty sure the whole egg/cholesterol thing has been debunked. So eat your eggs. Love them myself. Anyway I can get them.0
-
I eat eggs almost every day. Sometimes just whites, usually the whole thing. I'm almost 40 and my bloodwork is always good.0

Enjoy your whole egg.0

Eggs are not a "bad food" anymore. I love eggs. I buy them fresh from a local farm and they are soo good! My grandparents ate loads of eggs, butter, full fat everything, meat & potatoes daily and lived to their 90s. Of course, they were farmers and the quality of their food was better & they worked their a$$es off...0

It was a conspiracy by chickens - Eggs are totally fine, I've eaten them daily for years.0
-
I eat them, but I can't/won't eat them from sad factory hens. Besides the less optimal nutritional profile of the egg itself, I've gotten so accustomed to free range (really free range, not grocery store "free range") yolks being so dark orange, that pale yellow eggs make me want to hurl.0

My degree in Nutrition taught me that it isn't actually your dietary cholesterol that contributes the most to blood cholesterol, so if that's a worry at all, you're fine.
Like all foods, it's best to consume in moderation, 1 or 2 a day definitely fall within that.0 -
Eggs are awesome! The "bad for you" BS came about during that whole "low-fat" craze in the 80's and 90's. They're actually quite beneficial for you, and they are a great protein source in convenient little low calorie doses. You can enjoy them every which way and they are always delicious. I eat them for a minimum of one meal a day, but many days I have them for dinner or snacks too! For me they're a perfect diet food, I stick to 1200 net a day and I can make a meal out of one fried over eas with some sauteed peppers for just a few hundred calories!0
