Eggs & cholesterol study

[PhiSig2298]

Can anyone point me in the right direction of a journal posted on egg consumption and the effects on cholesterol levels? I remember someone posting a journal article and I'd like to find it again! Thanks for the help!

Somewhat interested. I eat an absurd amount of eggs. Cholesterol is just one thing on the list I don't care about, but probably should.




Nah, still uninterested. =/

Thanks Pug that's the exact one I was looking for

I don't either but my aunt was asking me about eggs & the effects of cholesterol.. She's staying at our house right now because my other aunt is about to lose her life to cancer, and she noticed how many eggs I ate today. I told her I had read a few articles & that I would pass the info on.


We won't even talk about what she thought about my bacon consumption

This thread is now the bacon appreciation thread.

What cuts do you all like?

Just picked up a huge pack of center cut bacon to save some fat macros for peanut butter and eggs..

Okay, go.

[jtaylor2010]

Yeah, I eat a lot of eggs on a weekly basis. I have switched to half egg whites/half whole egg ratio...not because of cholesterol concerns, just to cut back on fat intake a little. I get a physical every year and my blood pressure, cholesterol,etc. always comes back lookin great.

Not an article to eggs but there was a professor who did a junk food diet while keeping his caloric intake low enough to lose weight throughout the process....his blood work at the end came back looking a lot better than it did before he started the diet. Said there would need to be more studies done but that it did indicate that our weight levels have a lot more to do with cholesterol, blood pressure, etc. than what it is we're eating. In other words a crappy diet wont affect someone as bad if they're keeping themselves in the healthy weight/activity level range. You can probably find it by googling "twinkie diet".

I already sacrifice enough CHO for fats. I'm not Pug, I can't live on 125g CHO or less a day.

[WonderPug]

^ The only reason my CHO is that "high" is because I love chocolate milk.

Haha I just finished my last meal of the day.. Cho: 52g


That's 52g for the day, not meal

[WonderPug]

^ What was your intake of protein and fat for the day?

[CHEEF]

dietary chol dosnt affect blood chol much it's actually too many carbs(insulin resistance that cause high chol

[PhiSig2298]

^ What was your intake of protein and fat for the day?

Fat: 157g
Protein: 201g

2,417 calories

[HunterCML]

Fat: 157g

Strong fats.

[peteyboy1015]

Jesus...almost all fats and proteins brah, lol.

What did you consume that was carb wise...besides veggies.

[WonderPug]

Fat: 157g
Protein: 201g
2,417 calories

That sounds like a yummy ratio to me, though I'm getting about the same amount of protein as fat (in terms of grams).

[PhiSig2298]

Strong fats.

Thanks! I find 2,400 going A LOT further this way..

I'm just tinkering around with it right now. With my aunt being I'll, we have been getting a lot of food so I've been testing the waters.


I'll tell you one thing, I used to think carbs made me happy, but after doing this the past 2 days, I'll take high fat any day! I was always on the higher end anyway with about 120-125g of fat anyway

High fat foods are usually more nutrient dense and much less satiating. What are you eating that is so filling?

[HalcyonDays]

The better the quality of the egg, the lower the cholesterol and higher the omega-3's. Vegetarian-fed/free range eggs usually advertise this in the carton. It makes sense. Garbage in, garbage out. Chickens that eat crap and live in squalor produce crap eggs. THe same goes for meat; grass fed beefs is more nutritious than corn-fed stock. I usually try to watch for when the organic eggs go on sale and then stock up since they stay well for about a month.

Actually, I find high fat and protein foods like bacon to be extremely satiating and palatable. It's CHO that kills satiety for me.

PB, Cheese, pork rinds & some watermelon

They can be filling to a degree, and most certainly are extremely palatable. The issue is when I'm hungry, I much rather eat 200g of mix vegetables over a 15g slice of bacon when they are equal calorie-wise.

Eggs cheese steak & bacon keeps me full for hours upon end

[phozosado]

Korean grocer next to my joint sells bacon that's about a half inch thick. I'm not sure it qualifies as "bacon" at that point. BacoSteak.
