How many whole eggs are ok to eat per day?
Also, does the bioavailability change depending on how they are cooked?

Oh wow... I definitely don't follow that rule, lol.
I eat 3 whole jumbo eggs in the AM as part of my BF before my workout.
If hungry before bed, I'll have 1-2 more whole eggs.
I need the cals, lol. Plus, all the nutrients are in the yolks!
I used to do a raw eggs shake with 3 whole eggs + 1/2c apple sauce. it was delicious... but then I heard that raw whites rob u of biotin. But I guess that is negated if u do the WHOLE egg. Is this correct?
If raw eggs aren't optimal, then why was Arnold such a proponent?

when i was a starving grad student i ate like 10 a day, all whole, and had to get blood work done, for a number of reasons, pretty often. from ages 22-25 eating more eggs than i could even imagine my cholesterol stayed exactly the same.
now, since i'm a man of science, i'll admit personal testimonial is pretty meaningless, but if i had to do that again (god forbid) i wouldn't be scared."And Those Who Were Seen Dancing Were Thought to be Insane by Those Who Could Not Hear the Music."

thats alot of eggs! haha.... i have always been a little worried about the whole cholesterol thing with eggs but there are so many other things that people eat which are 10 times worse..... say how do egg whites from real eggs taste on their own ? I tried using a carton of egg whites once... tasted HORRIBLE!!!!

x2. (Usually just 8 though lol)
I really don't buy the high cholesterol from eggs. Perhaps is just genetics, or maybe because I workout and eat a well rounded diet, but I've eaten at least 4 whole eggs every day since I was in grade school and 6 whole eggs a day in high school. My family has a history of high cholesterol and I've never have a problem with mine.
IMO, I would eat 1 whole egg for every 2-3 egg whites. It seems to be a decent compromise. Does anyone here have high cholesterol levels and when they eat egg yolks, are negatively effected? It'd be interesting to know...
Plus, yolks have all the vitamins and minerals found in eggs.

Holy moly! 25 eggs a day?! I bet he had no friends due to the odor, lol! Egg farts are THE WORST! :-P
U've never tried plain old egg whites? They are ok-tasting.. kind of bland and rubbery. Add some spices and they'lll taste better. But, I'm in the school of thought of why waste half the egg by throwing out the yolk? It's the most nutritious part! Good fats, lots of vitamins/minerals...and it tastes good!
