Is eating three eggs every morning (with yolk) too much cholesterol?
I am a 25 year old male who weighs 205 lbs. I lift about 3 times a week for an hour and do cardio at least once a week for an hour. I have been eating three eggs, at least, every morning for over a year now and am starting to get worried about the amount of cholesterol in there.

I tend to have 4-6 everyday and my cholesterol has not changed over the last 5 years. However, my early lack of sodium checking has caused issues with my blood pressure.

I eat 6 eggs a day. Nothing wrong with my cholesterol.

and whats wrong with high total cholesterol? more HDL cholesterol prevents buildup of plaque in the arteries and decreasesrisk of heart disease.
only elevated levels of pattern B LDL cholesterol are harmful, and neither dietary cholesterol nor saturated fat (i.e. eggs) will raise it.
it's about the ratio of good to bad cholesterol. High total cholesterol means absolutely nothing.

I could go on about how I eat several eggs a day. I could add that everyone I know who is even tangentially interested in fitness does the same. But anecdotal evidence, however voluminous, can only be so substantial. Thankfully, the science supports the anecdotes in this case. Eggs are great. Eat up.
