Will I die if I eat 6-8 whole eggs a day?

[rhoads90]

There seems to be a big fuss over the cholesterol, but the yolks are dietary cholesterol , which actually HELPS get rid of bad cholesterol which is good for you right? So is it okay to eat 6-8 whole eggs a day?

[Phased]

No you will not die. Yolks get a bad rap I think.

I drink a dozen a day. My doctor said my cholesterol is in good shape. Of course I'm at the gym 5-6 days a week.

raw?

[s.e.bowen]

Yes. 3 at a time, 4x a day.

[rhoads90]

not worried about salmonella ?

[Lunk1]

I eat nearly a dozen a day...no worries.

[s.e.bowen]

Odds are like 1 out of 26,000 eggs are infected. I'm not concerned.

On bulk I always take down 10-15 a day. On my cut I am at 4 per day.

No problem.

You realise that roughly half the protein goes awol raw versus cooked?

Something to think about....

This debate regarding the cholesterol is brought up a lot. have several relatives that still swear they can't eat the yolks, it drives me crazy. Actually just made one of them delete a facebook post because they couldn't handle my criticism over a certain topic. Oh well, some people just can't handle criticism, and I get a lot of it with inlaws, it's bad.

Anyways, thought I'd share I haven't had any egg in a couple months, thought I would miss it as I used to eat it every day, but honestly I don't miss it at all. I know unrelated, but I'm all about saying crap when I shouldn't tonight, wife's mad at me too, I probably should shut up and get off the computer.

OP, 8 full eggs a day for the past 12 or so years, my cholesterol is bang on perfect...............

yeah, ive started scrambling them with water and then into the shaker with a scoop to flavour and then down zee hatch, makes light work of 7-8 eggs in one sitting

So if you do this for 3 years your odds of catching salmonella will be slightly over 50/50....food for thought.

[< <Samson> >]

I take down one full carton from Sam's every day and about 2-4 whole eggs.

I been on this diet for almost a year. My blood work is coming next week so I will see how my cholesterol really is. My BP is back to normal since I lost 35+ pounds (77/130 <just a tad high)

The liquid egg whites are pasteurized, the whole eggs I cook for the most part. Soft boiled or whatever I else I think of, just no scrambled.


I use the liquid egg whites with everything in shakes from chicken to whey and Greek yogurt. Find a better thing to mix your shakes with, cheap and a ton of protein.

at the rate of 12 per day u will likely come into contact with a salmonella infected egg within 5.93yrs

[stpete]

Past 15 years i probably average 6 eggs a day. No problems yet. Lots of nutrients in those yolks.

[Tx89]

Used to eat 10+ eggs a day. And now im dead.

R.I.P. Brotha, sucks to hear.

[Capebuffalo]

Last 4 weeks 20 egg whites a day.

But being raw i guess its more like 10 a day?
Don't think I'm dead. Unles I'm dead and this is hell

Oh shit.
