No, as long as you fit it into your macros, its fine. Dietary cholesterol has no effect on your blood cholesterol. Eggs are the best source of protein and an excellent source of healthy fats. Even if you have 4 eggs a day, thats only 6g saturated fat. If you have high cholesterol, eat more stuff like whole grains and mono + polyunsaturated fats, as these are proven to lower bad cholesterol in your blood.

That's a misconception. You'll be fine, eat them.

[eddiebo]

Probably depends on your existing cholesterol levels namely your HDL levels. If you have had your cholesterol tested IE. lipid panel done(HDL, LDL and trglycerides) than than you will know. If your HDL level is high enough than you probably have nothing to worry about. Get your cholesterol tested if you are worried you may have an issue. The test is done after fasting otherwise the levels will be inaccurate (very high). The test is not overly expensive and can let you rest easy.

From what I have read and understand you are correct that fats affect your blood cholesterol level and whole grains can have a minor effect as well. Though, I should add consuming cholesterol does put it directly into your blood.

I don't know about this.

I have read that on a keto diet, you won't have cholesterol problems from eating whole eggs. It may have been in one of Atkins books, or maybe it was in Michael Thurmond's program - I don't remember which.

[DieFatDie]

Thanks for this thread. Will add boiled eggs to my breakfast.

[victork30]

I eat three boiled eggs a day, and I aint dead yet. However i don't eat all the yolks maybe 1-2 a day.

[rock_ten]

people clearly don't put much value on the Yolk, considering the way that it is usually said:

"I eat 10 eggs, two with yolks"
instead of
"I eat two eggs and 8 whites."

It's all backwards. Yolk > white.

i would toss whites before yolks too.

although i prefer the whole egg over one or the other.

[ChingChang]

I've read studies that show yolk consumption resulting in lower cholesterol. I used to eat 4-5 whole eggs fried every day, now I only eat 2-3 every day because I lift in the mornings.

yeah two eggs and 8 whites is better way to say it. Some people say they eat 10 eggs, but they're only talking about the egg whites. That amount is like like eating 4-5 whole eggs (with less micronutrients)

Answer: Depends

You would know through family history whether cholesterol is an issue or through a lipid profile test. In a majority of people, eating eggs is excess amount would not cause an increase in serum cholesterol. However, there are people out there that regardless of what they eat, their serum cholesterol is really high.

To find out, the best thing to do is do a lipid profile test now, eat your eggs (2-3+) and a month or two later.

I'm eating avg. 8 eggs a day for a long time now and recently had another lipid profile done (I had 3 total). All had the same results ~140mg/dL. Btw, an increase in cholesterol is not really a significant indicator for the risk of cardiovascular disease (Framingham study).

[Jippo]

No i personally don't think it's bad for you i eat a dozen eggs a day and have eaten steak for dinner every day for the past year i had a test to determine my cholesterol levels before this and recently had them re-tested and my blood cholesterol was actually lower,

Also in the past year i have cut out all carbs other than quinoa and green veg which i eat everyday and also cut out dairy my daily diet consists of salmon, beef, eggs, and whey in water. When i told my doctor that i believed i had reduced my cholesterol by cutting these things out he laughed and said it was just a coincidence, I have researched extensively and come to the conclusion that saturated fat is actualy good for you as long as you have a good balance of other fats. It's a diet high in carbohydrates (an unnecesary nutrient) that is the major dietary cause of bad health.

I agree the yolk>the white.. I don't see how people could just eat the whites like they when they say like 8 whites and only two yolks, thats a whole a lot of wasted yolk which is the best part of the egg to me

[terracotta]

Regardless of what the studies say, the easiest way for you to find out if it will affect your cholesterol negatively is to get your chol. levels checked now. Increase egg levels for a while (2 weeks maybe), and get it checked again.

[instantmassege]

Thanks a lot guys! I never had my cholesterol checked, guess i have to do it sooner or later. Its just that my family and my g/f family keeps telling me that eating that many eggs per day is bad for me, I guess its a big old school misconception. Again thanks a lot guys.

Dr. Berg is full of nonsense. Avoid his videos like the plague.

If you're going to eat multiple eggs per day you need to get your lipids tested.
