No, this has been discussed many times before. You may want to look into the effect of direct cholesterol consumption and what it has on your body as well as how cholesterol works and is made within the body itself.
some info:

The yolk also contains loads of vitamins and minerals which will be wasted if thrown out.
The reason you see experienced bodybuilders go for just egg whites or have lets says 2 full eggs + 3 egg whites ratio is they are controlling the source of daily caloric intake portions of macros(carbs, protein and fats). These guys have certain daily protein, carb AND fat intake reqs to meet.

That, and most pros are also a victim of broscience.

when u r a person that worries too much, it's hard to b a bodybuilder.

Hey guys,

i found something at Simplyshredded.com. I think its related to this food thread, so i paste it here. About carb at night. Maybe other forumer here want to add something more or anything?

Ingredient + Nutritional Info:

200 gram minced meat
100 gram chicken breast
3 L size eggs

Long live the fat! hahahah.

kueyteow + 3 eggs

Hi guys, I've been working out for about 2-3 months.
I'm planning to de-load this week (actually more like forced to... Pulled a chest muscle quite badly till it hurts every time I take a breath. Deep breaths = a world of pain).
So my 'deloading' will be a 100% rest (since I can't really breath hard anyway) instead of lowering my weights etc.
Also, I'm bulking.

My question is:
Should I just maintain my diet?
Been getting at least 1g protein per pound bodyweight and eating as clean as possible.
Have gained about 2-2.5kg in a month and a week.

I've been reading a few articles and a lot of them states that it should be the same.
A pro trainer said that he lets his students relax both mentally and physically (ie: not really caring whether they're getting 3 or 6 meals a day, a bit more cheat meals but not junking of course).

Will it be bad if I actually take a little under maintenance? I mean I was wondering if I can actually try to lose a little bit of fat for that week or will it not matter at all?

Cheers.

I guess 100~200 calories below is fine.

Ok, meaning I'll have to eat like 600-700 cals less than what I'm eating now since I'm on a bulking diet.
You sure bro?

er guys can i have suggestion on eating to bulk up,been eating alot,but still not kinda effective...any suggestion to bulk up??im currently also taking mass gainer..need advise from sifu here..

Unfortunately you just have to eat more.
If you can't bulk after already taking mass gainers, you're definitely not eating enough.
What's your diet like? Your height and weight?

I'm not a scientist or a doctor. I just talk based on my experience.

Muscles grow when we r rest. Hence some will maintain the diet even when they r rest (some even did it for bulking)

But if u do think maintaining is not enough and want to shred some fat as extra, cutting the cals may help. But it's should be too extreme. However, if i'm u I will juz eat as I feel of course I dun eat junks n too much.

Because it takes over 3500 kcal to burn off a fat. Let's say u try to work on calorie deficit, 3500/200= 17 days and more. In this case when u r not goin to workout, u depend on ur daily metabolism. Unless U have ways to spike up metabolism.

I believe even clean bulk gain little bit of fat, n u try to shred off fat during bulking period. Tough tough.

And the reasons I recommend maintain or less 200, it's that when u intake is much, but ur body do not need so many, u wasted it and worse u gain and stored fat which mostly is not the reason y u want to bulk.

But if u feel that all ur hardworks r worth, ur body will need resources to build that muscle during ur rest, go ahead with ur current diet.

After all, it's really up to u.

Trials and errors like this will not kill u. U have a whole life to experiment wif it.

Added on April 21, 2012, 2:36 amDiet is important for u to bulk up, what you eat, how much you eat and how you eat all determine whether u will be big or small.

U said not effective but it means u see changes, right?

Beside diet, u got to workout too.

But most important is, REST!

For all sort of changes that you want ur body to happen, as simple as you r sick, you want recover, to you r thin you want to bulk, REST and SLEEP. Have enough rest and allow your body to absorb and assimilate the nutrients.

Wow, your injury is that bad? I'm guessing that you need more than 3 weeks to recover no?

Imo, you should stop a while on your bulking diet. Since you are not going to do any workout, your muscle ain't got any 'minor trauma' thus it is impossible to grow (you have proper diet, enough rest but no workout = muscle not increasing). Therefore, I'm suggesting that either you eat you maintenance calorie to maintain your muscle or you can drop your calorie for cutting purpose. But then, cutting will going to reduce your muscle mass as you cannot workout to maintain your muscle (one of the main reasons to workout during cutting). So, it is better to maintain what you have atm by eating your maintenance calorie.

Anyhow, goodluck on your recovery and try not to push yourself so much. Let the injury heal.

Added on April 21, 2012, 3:47 amWhen you say that you've been eating a lot, expert will say that you aren't. How is your diet? Maybe you can post your daily food intake here and we will tell you if you are eating enough or not.

But on the other hand, you might try GOMAD which is Gallon Of Milk A Day if you are not lactose intolerant.

You sure your macros are accurate?

Am cutting with 1.5-2g of protein per Lbs of bodyweight.

Don't worry so much about it,get better first!

Yeah, about 1g or 1.1g per lbs bodyweight.
So far it seems to be working.
I guess I'll just rest first and maintain a clean maintenance diet.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Pedro, would you mind sharing your macro for cutting with me for comparison purpose? I'm 204.6 lbs with 126.72 lbs lean body mass at 38% body fat and 1987kcal calorie needed for cutting . Right now I'm taking 1.55g protein per lean body mass, 0.8g fat per lean body mass and the balance will be carb. Although I have 90g++ for carb, I tend to take around 30++ and replace them with protein.

So, this is my daily macro intake: 197g protein, 101g fat and 73g carb. But then, I would reduce the carb intake (low-carb and low-calorie diet) thus my daily macro intake would be 233g protein, 101g fat, 27g carb.

So far, I've seen the effect. Manage to rid a lot of fat in my body but if there is a better way, why shouldn't I try right?

No problem!

Maintenance:1900
Weight:190Lbs
Bodyfat: About 15%

Training days:
Protein: 300g
Fat:60g
Carbs:200g

Off days:
Protein: 220g
Fat:180g
Carbs:<30g

Yours seems fine,mine are a bit off as I don't remember the exact values,just round off to lowest to be safe!

Wow, that's really strict dude.
Is it possible for you to list a sample days worth of food?
Seriously impressed here.
Well, I've never been a big eater and 1g per lbs is already pretty hard for me.
