Eggs? Yay or nay?

I eat 5 egg whites and 1 whole egg everymorning with a slice of GF brown rice bread and a tbsp of natural peanut butter. =] YUMMY!

Everything in moderation.

I eat eggs every single day. I eggs.

eggs=yay. Unless you have a problem with cholesterol you should be fine to eat a few eggs everyday.

I eat lots of eggs and have great cholesterol. I say, eat em!!

I just met with my registered dietitian yesterday and the day 3 meal plan was for 2 eggs or 1/2 cup of egg substitute. . I told her I was an egg lover and she said that is ok because they are a filling protein, but in moderation.

I did a lot of research on this a few months back.

Your body produces cholesterol in the abscence of dietary cholesterol, but slows or stops production of cholesterol when your diet includes cholesterol, and the cholesterol in eggs is the good kind that we all want more of - HDL.

People who eat eggs for breakfast have been shown in clinical studies to be satiated for a longer period and consume fewer calories at lunch. At the end of the clinical studies, their cholesteral number is lower than it was at the beginning. The only exception to this is persons who have a genetic issue with overproduction of cholesterol.

The yolk of an egg is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. It includes certain nutrients that also make the protein in the white more bio-available to your body, so only eating the whites is a waste of nutrients, AND it is robbing you of the most benefit from the whites.

Eat up me hearties yo ho!

Cholesterol is actually a beneficial substance.

From wikipedia: "hormones produced from cholesterol include cortisol, which is involved in regulating blood-sugar levels and defending the body against infection, and aldosterone, which is important for retaining salt and water in the body. The body can even use cholesterol to make a significant amount of vitamin D, the vitamin responsible for strong bones and teeth, when the skin is exposed to sunlight.
Cholesterol is also used to make bile, a greenish fluid that is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. The body needs bile to digest foods that contain fat. Bile acts as an emulsifier -- it breaks down large globules of fat into smaller particles so they can mix better with the enzymes that digest fat."

I have a cholesterol level that is exactly in the middle of the "healthy" range. And I eat 2-6 eggs per day. Hard-boiled eggs are a great low-cal, low-carb, high-protein snack. Don't be scared of them! They're one of nature's best foods!

one egg/week? dear lord, i could never do that *LOL*

i eat eggs like they're going out of style. My cholesterol is 101.

i also eat broccoli.

This has me concerned.

You're concerned about my *kitten* aren't you :ohwell:

I'm concerned about the fact that you're packing heat!

EGGS (with yolks and all) = YAY!!!
