...eat no more than 3 eggs a day when trying to gain muscle. I stumbled upon a website with this article that claims Arnold stated this..and in Arnold's encyclopedia his meal plans never include more than 3 eggs a day. I cannot understand why this would be...any answers?

They mean whole eggs so with yolk!!!! This is correct.

But egg whites you can eat unlimited.

[yungfaceb3]

so eating say 3 whole eggs in the morning with breakfast and two whole eggs about 13 hours later before bed is bad?

Please correct me if I'm wrong but eating more than 3 whole eggs per day is kind of risky for your cholesterol. I did this past cycle of test e at 500ml a week for 8 weeks and my cholesterol levels went up from 180 to 230..

of course a take in consideration that anabolic steroids and weight gain elevate your cholesterol.

3 whole eggs

thats already like 13.5g of fat, not to mention like god knows how much cholestoral

3 whole eggs is not good, i do just 1 whole egg a day, thats it and das all

In all actuality, dietary cholesterol doesn't have much of an affect on blood cholesterol as saturated and trans fats.

Mario- I'm willing to bet that switched up your diet when you were on cycle, which may have had that impact on your cholesterol levels. Did you add any extra red/fatty meats?

Slaiv-3 whole eggs per day is fine. Don't worry, your cholesterol shouldn't be affected too much, considering you're cutting correct? So you're doing extra cardio, and eating clean.

yea... but i didnt make this thread XD

but i understand what your saying, i am cutting, but 3 whole eggs, thats already 13g+ of fat! im trying to juggle 32-39 throughout the day, eating 3 whole eggs will def. make it harder for the rest of the day

but yea, eating healthy and working out it should affect me too much....

3 whole eggs is not much at all i used to eat 8 a day for around 4 months including a steak a day and had my cholesterol tested and it was fine.

I think Arnold is trying to give you the wrong advices. Remember what he said about the pump?
