Me 48kg weight..consuming 3-4 pcs of egg per day....for 2 years now...but my weightmaintain that...not really heavy lifting work done...dont know why...

although egg is a good source of protein, vits and minerals, its moderate on calories. 3 eggs would be around 200 calories (depending on size).
Increase your food intake to gain weight.

Actually is it necessary to eat eggs? Its bad for acne too (I feel that).
Gain weight, should we actually do something else rather than eggs everyday?

Sometimes It relates to some other body system that are unhealthy.
For me, i always have this problem of getting stomachache. (Unhealthy digestion system). - It may be one of the reason why cant get fat

**I am a thin guy too**

It DEFINITELY has nothing to do with acne. And it is not specified that only eggs plays a large role in order for you to gain weight, other types of food that you consume and your choice of lifestyle plays a huge factor in this as well.

Haha basically ya it wont cause acne. Sry let me make it clear.
If make acne worse...for some people. (Include myself )

eggs have a lot of cholesterol. But it is mainly in the yolk.

If youre doing some workout, take the egg white is enough. thats where most of the proteins are.

Why don't you just buy whey then, instead of wasting good food.

too much protein, without exercise will lead to kidney failure. but if youre working out often then it shouldn't be a problem. same rule applies to supplements.

too much yolk will lead to raised cholesterol levels.

Someone from BB.com also claimed he consume 36 eggs per day and still alive.

Personally for me it's 4~6 whole eggs per day, usually it's half cooked.

too much hearsay will lead to rubbish advice.

1. a person with no disease of the kidney will not be affected.
2. dietary cholesterol has little to no impact on cholesterol level. however, if the person already has increased cholesterol level, following the advice maybe sound.

so Dr Slimey, instead of going for personal attacks why not back your 'facts' up? patho: the stones obstructing the kidney will lead to an atrophic kidney, resulting in a dilated and thinning of the kidney and impaired function. biochemistry: 1.75mg of bone calcium lost into urine, for every increased 1g of animal protein intake. when more than 90% of your kidney function is lost, you get ESRF. yes, so if just one kidney is blocked you will still be fine.

High protein diet has been implicated in chronic diseases such as osteoporosis, renal insufficiency, renal stones, cancer, coronary artery disease, It has been found that high animal protein intake in healthy individuals increases the probability of forming kidney stones by 250% - Robertson et al 1979.

Restricting protein intake improved lithogenic profile in hypercalciuric patients. - Giannini et al 1999.

High incidence of calcium oxalate, in increased intake of animal protein - Curhan et al 1996, Robertson n Peacock 1982.

Increase in urinary excretion of calcium with increased protein intake. As a result, may lead to loss of bone calcium, and formation of renal calcium stones - Allen et al 1979, Heany 1993, Leamann 1999.

Protein intake under 2. 8 g.kg does not impair renal function in well-trained athletes as indicated by the measures of renal function used in this study - Poortmans Dellalieux 2000.

Reduction in animal proteins and salt is associated with a lower relative supersaturation for calcium oxalate and a marked decrease in risk of incident stone formation. All the diets above mentioned have as a common characteristic the reduction of the potential acid load of the diet that can be correlated with a higher risk of recurrent nephrolithiasis. Containment of animal protein and salt can decrease significantly urinary supersaturation for calcium oxalate and reduce the relative risk of stone recurrence in hypercalciuric renal stone formers - Trinchieri 2013, J Med Life.

Patients with appreciable albuminuria are much more likely to develop tubulointerstitial scarring and fibrosis and progress to end-stage renal failure - Stoian 2012, J Med Life.

was what i shared too complicated for you?

so you look for ONE article to debunk the debunk the findings in at least SEVEN other articles?

TLDR/layman version: excess protein lead to kidney stones, and THEN kidney failure.

did you even read what i posted?

they did touch on kidney stones there.

aiks u changed the link

I suppose this is another grey area, with many inconclusive studies.

One side saying it's harmful, another saying insufficient evidence to prove its harmful.

so TS, I hope you have found your answer

The yolk is where all of the cholesterol (about 185mg) of an egg is found. The American Heart Association recommends keeping cholesterols intake to less than 300mg a day.
Not being aware of your daily cholesterol intake and eating more yolks is almost as bad as smoking for people at risk of heart disease.
you can consume the white as much as you want, but don't take more than 3 - 4 whole egg each week.

hope it hepled

If you are consuming the egg yolks, make sure you do enough exercise daily to burn off the cholesterol. Too much egg yolks will be bad for those who don't exercise at all.

This is helping no-one; the "yolks are as bad as smoking" study has been utterly discredited.

For the record, I ate seventeen eggs yesterday.
