I'm eating 4 eggs/day (yolk included) I worry it's

>cholesterol is bad mkay

>>38068683
Why do doctors constantly say no more than 1 egg a day?

>>38068675
Actually curious about this i sometimes have 4 eggs a day... is this actually a problem?

>>38068841
Doctor here. The Cholesterol is bad m'kay meme is basically a judgement over the entire population. If you are the average white collar worker who doesn't do physical activity, yes it is bad. And because most of the population in the western world fits this archetype, its better to eat just one yolk per day.


BUT if you do tons of physical activity and maintain your bmi (adjusted with waist circumference) in a decent range, its ok to eat more than a yolk per day.


Also, your body uses cholesterol to synthetize testosterone and its derivates. Your body can also make cholesterol de novo so vegans don't need to consume it.

Thank You doctor-anon-kun

Vegetarian here. Fit, and work out 5-6 days a week.

Personal trainer told me to eat 6 eggs a day to add muscle. Been doing it for months. Is he sending me to an early grave?

How much fiber do you eat? Water do you drink? How sedentary are you? Do you eat any refined carbs or vegetable oils?

If the answers are lots, lots, not very, no and no you're good to go. Yolks have a lot of choline and K2

To me it sounds like senpai is saying there's no actual need to eat eggs since the body can synthesize it.

But 6 eggs a day is a lot. That's only about 160~ protein calories compared to over 200 fat calories. And it's all saturated fat. I'm vegetarian too but I've been staying away from eggs. Get your fats from nuts and have an extra can of beans per day; the calories are much more quality.

>>38069105

I am >>38068882.. I drink about maybe 1.5-2L of water or more a day... Can't tell you about the fibre part but i shit 2 a day if that is what you are wondering

>>38069127
That is interesting... Guess I will eat some beans then... cause I hate nuts...

>>38069139
Probably not enough water or fiber. You should be getting ~70g fiber, mostly from veggies (7 different kinds a day) with the rest coming from fruit, legumes and wholegrains. You should double that water intake too

>>38069175
jesus 4L of water? isnt that a bit excessive?

I'm not going to Google it but ive heard there is as much cholesterol in an egg as there is in the amount of butter you spread on a piece of bread.

>>38069196
Not at all, as long as you get your minerals. Of I spend a lot of time in the sun I'll drink more than 8

in during egg industry shills

go vegan

Thanks doc. Pretty much given me a clean bill of health. I have tons of water, fiber, exercise, and whole foods.

I'd like to invite you to die on purpose, you self-sucking faggot. Lifted for 3 years consistently before consulting a personal trainer since my friend wanted to start lifting and was going to pay one anyway. Figured I could learn some shit from a guy who wins competitions (and I did--who would have thought!?)

I already have heaps of nuts/trial mix and beans of all types regularly. It's nice to have another animal product to throw into the mix.

>>38068969
Dear doctor kun, I want to be just like you in the future. Please tell me I'll make it.

>>38069362
Took me a sec to realize this is replying to 3 different things.

>>38068675
don't be a fag

I called my family up for a chili recipe. Turns out I made way to much so I'm eating chili all the time. Didnt even record the calorie count. Just eat a small bowl and hope for the best. Checked scale and still on track.

I'm gonna make it.

>>38069078
Holy shit you are stupid

I was eating 10 eggs a day until I realized how much fat I was consuming.

While it has been established that eggs contain cholesterol, it has not yet been proven conclusively that they actually raise the level of serum cholesterol in the human blood stream

Cholesterol is used to repair damage induced from sugars, starches, and plant fats. Eat more meat and eggs.

>>38069981

>cholesterol affixes to artery walls
>forms plaques
>plaques eventually rupture and break off
>heart attack

Since high cholesterol also damages your arteries by itself, maybe cut back on the meat and eggs

anecdotal:
Ive been eating 5 eggs(scramble, mostly) per day for about 2 years now, i think as long as you do cardio youre fine
sciencewise:
nobody here knows shit

>>38070593

What makes anecdotal evidence even weaker in this case is people take "I haven't died yet, also I'm 23 years old" to mean there's nothing wrong with eating a particular food.

Just showing that eggs aren't as great as people think. They contain nutrients but it's not like they're amazingly nutritious.

You could have just dismissed his broscience with an amino acid profile of egg protein vs whey or chicken or any other common protein source and a screenshot of the micro-nutrient contents of an egg.

When prepared right, eggs are clean protein and fat with a bit of saturated fat which is unavoidable in most diets anyway. If you need protein and fat at about a 1:1 ratio with minimal meal prep and you like eggs there is literally no better choice, least of all bread. Your only other options are processed meats, nuts which are higher in fat than protein and dairy which contains carbs anyway. Most other things you'd have to cook.

>>38070756
>saturated fat, cholesterol, and lack of carbs marked as bad

Wow, just wow. So much ignorance in one image. How old are you? Does mommy know you're up past your bedtime pretending to know about nutrition?

How the fuck is this even supposed to be possible? By that logic eating anything but raw veggies or fruit would overshoot your target. Does the American Heart Association actually promote 80/10/10 vegan diets?

>>38070927
No, the AHA promotes moderate to high-fat diets with 25-35% calories from fat.

The WHO/FAO actually recommends a limit of 30% for sedentary individuals with normal calorie intake, 35% only for healthy physically active people.

The USDA sets a minimum of 20%, the WHO/FAO of 15%. 15% is low-fat., 30% is not.

That's another great example of why advertising agencies aren't science.

I don't know how to respond to this thread.

DIETARY CHOLESTROL AND SATURATED FATS ARE HARMLESS.

This is not some conspiracy. That you would even think that evidences the kind of person you are. Doctors are about 60 years behind the actual science, institutions are far more fallible than individuals.

Basically, if you believe that the egg is a vehicle for deadly disease, you are fucked. They caught you and made you all retarded, it affects your entire worldview. You need more help and guidance than anyone can give.
