I've been eating 15 eggs every day for the last 2 years, now the blood tests...

[nherrada]

Hey guys, just wanted to share my experience here. So much people know about eggs properties but there still so much misconception out there about this topic. People constantly restrict they yolk consumption instead of being one of the most powerful tools in the bb world.

I've been eating 15 eggs every day for the last 2 years. 8 in the morning and 7 at night just before going to bed (I train fasted so I have to get sure to get a quality food the night before to minimize the muscle loss).
Also I've been consuming 220 g + g of protein a day (around 1 g per lean pound of bw).

I'm going to upload the screenshot later but here are the numbers about liver function:

GOT (AST): 32 U/L (Normal Values: 10-40)
GPT (ALT): 29 U/L (Normal Values: 10-40)
GGT: 6 U/L (Normal Values: 8-61)

And just to get sure my kidneys were right:

CREATININE: 1.22 mg% (Normal Values: 0.7-1.30)

Cholesterol:

HDL: 51 mg% (Normal Values: 30-80)
LDL: 88 mg% (Normal Values: <130)
TOTAL CHOLESTEROL: 146 mg% (Normal Values: <200)

Well, keep ya guys in check for the screenshot. Also if u have any questions about my diet or whatever would be, I would try to response to it.

Not the most scientific of a testing environment, many variables and all of that; interesting none the less of course.

Came in expecting blood cholesterol results, leaving disappointed

Yup, sorry. Forgot the cholesterol levels results, here:

HDL: 51 mg% (Normal Values: 30-80)
LDL: 88 mg% (Normal Values: <130)
TOTAL CHOLESTEROL: 146 mg% (Normal Values: <200)

[LordSharpshire]

Dietary cholesterol does not affect blood cholesterol levels and high cholesterol levels don't cause heart attacks.

Your triglycerides are 28???

Or are you just making up test results?

I have my guess.

Uncommon but not unheard of. I've seen it before.

My tryglicerides are 33. NV from 40-200

Interesting.

What's the typical macronutrient composition of your diet?

[nherrada]

Interesting.

What's the typical macronutrient composition of your diet?

Around 22.5 prot / 27.5 fats / 50 carbs

[cls91]

What's all the fuss? My triglycerides are the same...

Around 22.5 prot / 27.5 fats / 50 carbs

So 220g protein, 500g carb, 120g fat?

Dietary cholesterol does not affect blood cholesterol levels

OP is only 21. These numbers are not exceptional, just normal for someone his age. Whether or not he ate 15 eggs a day for a couple of years shouldn't make this anything special.

[Samamo]

How do you like your eggs, OP?


Semi srs. Do you split intake up or 15 eggs a go?

Read his second paragraph.

Read his second paragraph.

Ahh the problem with skimming. I couldn't eat more than maybe 3 without getting bored.

[determined4000]

My LDL is lower than my HDL with Low total and low triglycerides
I like eggs but would never eat 15 a day of anything
If you are 21 and active, I would be worried if you had bad cholesterol regardless of diet

[ErikTheElectric]

Whole eggs suck anyways. Egg whites erry day.

yolks for the lows.

Yup...

[Domicron]

Cool story bro? One example doesn't do much to prove anything, especially given your age.

I consider eggs to be maybe my favorite food, but 15 per day would get tiring very soon.

[nicholina]

All of this is meaningless without an NMR lipid profile. Nice try though. And also, its not the eggs id be concerned about regarding your lipid panel...its the carbs, specifically fructose, as well as your level of insulin resistance...

Need to step your egg experimenting game up!

Think Im gonna get some blood work done soon, interesting to see where I am at.
