i take the egg yolk and use it as paste for my bread crumbs for home made nuggets or make my fried rice a little bit more tantilizing and watery, everything must not go to waste!!

i got like 5 extra yolk per day . x kan i made nugget and fried rice daily . any else idea ?

I consume up to 6 yolks per day. Try to constrain to that. Anymore eggs and I throw the yolks away,

I eat up to 5 yolks a day. I don't worry about the cholesterol level but sometimes at the 4th yolk I get sick of it. (but I still eat it anyhow)

imo its fine, key word is moderation. lets not forget testosterone is derived from cholesterol so dont sweat it too much guys

10 whole eggs daily for many donkey years until I gave up weight training.

3 for breakfast, some for lunch, maybe some for snack, 3 for dinner. Whole egg.

My mum always nag when I eat more than 2 eggs daily, any way to convince her?

yolk consist of high cholesterol, becareful dude

Sarcasm?

Tell her to take up bodybuilding.

thanks

trolling?

I think our mums (or every one of us, actually) have reasons to worry because most researches are just that, researches. And there will always be errors and biases in those, not to mention a lot of scientifically-proven stuff like whether or not egg contains high cholesterol etc have been debunked, proven, debunked again and proven again countless of times by different researches by different people using different methods under different conditions.

So for me, even though I like eggs, I try to stay within 3 daily

but the first time i tried... its taste... eww... awful..

Haha I happen to like avocados

Yes, eggs contain a high amount of cholesterol. One large egg has about 200 mg of cholesterol.

A few things on that:

- Dietary Cholesterol Isn't Bound to Blood Cholesterol. There is little-to-no relation between dietary cholesterol and higher blood cholesterol levels, nor any legitimate link between dietary cholesterol and the incidence of heart disease.

- The Human Body Makes Cholesterol. Your liver makes 3-6 times more cholesterol than you can get eating eggs and/or other animal products.

- Cholesterol is Vital To Your Body. You need it for the production of steroid hormones like testosterone and also to build & repair cells (which is a perpetually occurring process in the human body).

So yes, eggs themselves are high in cholesterol, but no, consumption of eggs does not cause a spike in human cholesterol levels.

OK, but aren't eggs high in fat? Shouldn't I avoid the yolks?

Yes, eggs are fairly high in fat. Roughly 5 g of fat per egg to be precise. About 2 g of that fat is saturated fat, which of course means that the other half is unsaturated. Coincidentally, the ideal ratio of dietary fat in humans is a 1:1 saturated fat to unsaturated fat ratio, making the fat ratio in eggs nearly perfect.

If you are trying to cut calories you can absolutely get rid of some of the yolks, but benefits of eating the yolk include:

- More Vitamins. The yolk is full of vitamins A, D, and E. Vitamin D is especially important since most people are vitamin D deficient, and eggs are one of only a handful of foods that provide dietary vitamin D.

- Twice The Protein. Eating whole eggs doubles the protein intake you'd get eating egg whites only because the yolk contains half of the protein (3 g of the 6 g). This protein also happens to be the highest quality protein in the world, according to the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) of the World Health Organization.

- Increased Testosterone Levels. Saturated fat and cholesterol increase testosterone production. Both are heavily present in the egg yolk. Testosterone levels help build muscle, which is something that almost everyone could use more of, especially as we age (even you ladies!).

But tbh with you, why does most mothers think that eggs are bad for us? I would say that it is because they are being fooled by the current food marketing gimmick where low fat product = good product, cholesterol = bad. Both of these mindset are totally wrong yet majority of people believed in it. So the only way to make your mum into believing that eggs aren't that bad is that we need to educate them.

My mum scold me because I like to drink diet coke (my bb nutritionist friend in US drank 2L diet coke each day), saying it is bad for me. So what I did was I check my sugar blood level with all my siblings and guess what, mine was the lowest. We educate them that way, because we know that they are believing something that isn't true.

Now my current diet would consist of 4 whole large eggs (8.5g protein per egg) each day.
