Eggs

I might eat a good dozen a week, at least. Love my eggs!

I eat 5 egg whites and 1 whole egg everyday for breakfast. I have check ups with my doctor every 6 months and I am in perfect health.

Everything about limiting your egg consumption is a myth.

Your own liver makes more cholesterol than what you get eating eggs. Eat 'em and enjoy em.

barring underlying health issues of course that if you have it you know it.

The myth about eggs and cholesterol is derived from the amount of fat in eggs that drives up your cholesterol levels. Not the amount of cholesterol that's actually in an egg. People that only eat egg whites are cheating themselves and wasting food. If you have the macro nutrients available eat as many as you want.

There is no reason to limit eggs Body Builders and other professional athletes will easily surpass 1, 2 o3 even 3 dozen a week. I personally eat 8-12 a week sometimes more.

I eat an egg everyday....totally fine and its good protein and vitamin D. I love me some eggs. My husband does MFP too and deals with high cholesterol. He also eats eggs everyday and cholesterol has gone down since he has lost 12 lbs. So they have helped more than they have hurt....Id say keep eating eggs if you love them.

yet you limit yours?

i eat approx 6 egg white a day. i talked to my nutrition guy and he recommended i eat/drink a entire carton a day. the whites are ok in large portions.

I typically eat 2 eggs everyday unless I'm in a hurry an am doing something ultra fast, like just drinking a protein shake and making up the calories later during the day

My man and I go through a dozen or so a week. Mostly me. I eat lots of them. I usually eat 3-4 at a time when I do.

The egg is the perfect food for humans.

The eggs of birds are the perfect food. Not so the “egg” of a grass plant. Why not? The egg of a vertebrate contains all the proteins, vitamins and minerals necessary to grow a baby vertebrate from a handful of cells to the point where it can peck or bite it’s way out of the shell, and start eating on its own. So that makes it a pretty reliable source of nutrients for vertebrate predators like us. Not so the egg of a grass seed. Besides the antinutrient issue, the complement of amino acids and fat soluble vitamins in the endosperm is not enough to grow or feed a human without supplementation from other sources.

The trainer who says to only eat the white needs to do some research.
The Great Cholesterol Con
The Cholesterol Delusion
Ignore the awkward! How the cholesterol myths are kept alive.

Or he could just go online and google "cholesterol myths". The only reason saturated fat was called evil is it supposedly raised cholesterol levels and cholesterol supposedly caused heart disease. Well, that has been proven to not be true over and over again. (People that die from heart disease had high, normal and low cholesterol. People that succumb to heart disease are ever more likely to have low cholesterol.)

But are you frying the eggs or boiling.....is it ok to eat scramble eggs....do u use a little butter in the pan.

I'm sure this question has been asked a million times on here already but how many eggs is 'safe' to consume in a week? I'm a little obssesed with them at the moment!!

I usually eat two per day, today I will have three.

Eggs are a brilliant food, don't let anybody tell you any different.

This.
