Eat eggs.
As you said, they are inexpensive, a great source of protein, nutritious, and delicious.
I eat them every day too!0 -
The research shows eating one egg per day has no negative effects. There isn't enough data to show that eating more than one a day has no negative effects. That's why government recommendations are saying one egg a day.This meta-analysis identified no significant association between egg consumption and risk of coronary heart disease or stroke. Higher intake of eggs (up to one egg per day) was not associated with risk of coronary heart disease or stroke. Similar results were obtained in subgroup analyses. However, among diabetic participants, higher egg consumption was associated with a significantly elevated risk of coronary heart disease. On the other hand, higher egg intake was associated with a lower risk of hemorrhagic stroke.

I will put it this way... I had high cholesterol. I decided to lose weight and actually ate MORE eggs then I had before. As my weight decreased, my cholesterol did as well. Even when I was eating a diet higher in cholesterol.
I love eggs. They taste awesome, can be used many different ways, and keep me full. They are a staple of my diet.
This was my experience also. As soon as I lost weight then my cholesterol went down despite eating more eggs and shrimp.1 -

Everything that I have read recently (past few years) indicates it’s ok to eat up to 3 eggs per day for most people1 -
100% agree. Eat all the eggs! Just...not raw Rocky style lol
When I was a kid if I woke up late my mother would make a quick energy breakfast for me. It was a glass of orange juice, honey, a raw egg blended (maybe something else in it) with a slice of toast covered in peanut butter. I enjoyed that,
EDIT: Maybe there was a banana in there somewhere.

From a *scientific* perspective, the meta-study says we know with a high degree of certainty that eating 1 egg per day (or 7 per week) is OK. From a *scientific* perspective, we don't have enough data to know with a high degree of certainty that eating more than 1 egg per day has the same low level of risk. At least we didn't as of 2013, and I'm not aware of more recent extensive meta-studies that suggest otherwise.
This dietician says eggs are OK, and cites the article I linked. Her conclusion: one egg per day is OK for most people, not 3 eggs per day.

I've seen other articles that say two is OK, others saying three is OK. Some even say eat all you want. Although everything you've read may say three a day is OK, there are plenty of other articles that give a different number. Government recommendations tend to be on the conservative side, which is the point of what I said in my post. That means government recommendations are usually based on a very low level of uncertainty regarding risk based on current research.
By choosing to eat 3 days an egg, you're therefore accepting a slightly higher level of uncertainty with regard to level of risk. That's a personal choice. I eat one egg a day most days, and have a three-egg breakfast with friends every other week. That's my choice, and I'm not recommending it to anyone else. Am I increasing the probability of a heart attack or stroke by doing so? Probably -- but my guess is that the added risk is so low that it pales in comparison to the risk of being obese, or being a smoker or heavy drinker.6 -
I recently had a patient 93 years old. Ate 2 slices of bacon 2 eggs and a slice of toast everyday for breakfast for over 70 years she said. She looked amazing. Eat the eggs and enjoy. 😁5

Just saying, isn’t that true about a lot of foods, and drugs for that matter. Not enough testing to support any 100% conclusions for everyone.
Just this past week “heart healthy” oatmeal is taking a hit for cancer causing residue from traces of Roundup in the oat based cereals many of us are eating.
Generally speaking, eggs are a good source of protein, economical & nutritious, and readily available, for many of us. I have eaten eggs, several times per week, all my life (almost 67 years) and have great cholesterol levels, no history of familial heart disease.
Those who have health issues or a family history with hiealth issues that may be affected by eating eggs should probably consult with their health care professionals for advice.5 -
So long as you don't have any medical issues related to eggs, no. Eggs are perfectly fine to eat.0

Eggs Are Low in Calories. The simplest way to lose weight is to reduce your daily calorie intake. One large egg contains only about 78 calories, yet is very high in nutrients. Three large boiled eggs contain less than 240 calories0

Yep I've noticed it keeps u full for longer time till ur lunch especially if u have ur breakfast early in the morning
Glad to see you actually have breakfast. So many people say they don't. I have mine at 6:30 every day and get to work by 7:30
Breakfast is the most important meal in the day in my opinion its like getting gas before hitting into a road trip, but believe it or not i have the se schedule at 6:30 my regular breakfast 😂👌
I fill up my car the night before a road trip, then I don't need to worry about it on the morning of the trip. But i don't eat in the morning very often either and do just fine...3 -
Don't know what I would do without eggs. And there is SO much you can do with them. I eat them a LOT. My major protein fix.0

Agreed. I'm not sure that I agree with the idea that eating 4+ eggs a day is still considered "in moderation".missysippy930 wrote: »Everything that I have read recently (past few years) indicates it’s ok to eat up to 3 eggs per day for most people

I have read it should be fine. I personally eat 4 eggs (yoke included) almost every morning, I have never been at an unhealthy weight and my cholesterol completely normal and healthy... so my anecdotal evidence also says it’s okay lol.1

Two every morning for years and I’ve never had cholesterol concerns—yummy, inexpensive, and good for you. I buy them in a container of 30!2

Eat eggs if you want eggs....They aren't bad. They were demonized for their cholesterol, but it turns out dietary cholesterol has little, if any, influence on your total cholesterol. Most if it comes from your liver.....Just eat the WHOLE egg - egg whites are a bit inflammatory and can block choline absorption - with the yolk, you will surpass what the egg white blocks and have a net positive.2

God bless eggs and everybody
