Red pill me on eggs. Are they a meme protein?

>>41791325
Someone else will be better equipped to fill you in on the chemistry but in my own experience on days when I have a few egg whites first thing in the morning I have a much easier time controlling what I eat later in the day and have decent energy even when eaten without a carb

>70 calories each
>6 grams of protein
>taste kinda bland so anything added takes over
I enjoy them hardboiled best. just add a little salt and they become tasty as fuck and easy to eat so long as they aren't over cooked and have the texture of saw dust when chewing.
scrambled eggs are trash, taste like vomit unless something is added.

>>41791341
Where do you put yolks, flushing them down the toilet?

>>41791356
I'm a fraud, I usually use the liquid egg whites you buy in a carton. When I've used real egg whites in the past I've used the yolks for omelettes for other people

>>41791325
They're fucking great. On a bulk I'll eat at least half a dozen for breakfast.

How bad are yolks really? Get increasingly confused the more I hear of cholesterol.

>>41791408
My understanding is that they're bad if you already have a cholesterol problem or at risk of developing one.

>>41791408
Some people have a genetic predisposition that causes eating eggs to make their cholesterol shoot through the roof.

Not everyone has this predisposition and it's basically the cause of the whole argument over the past ~30 years of whether or not eggs are good or bad for you.

For some people they are, for others they aren't.

>>41791343
>scrambled eggs
>mashed up avocado
>add some salt

its a /fit/ recipe and actually good

>>41791428
Yeah this. You'd still get some benefits from lowering cholesterol levels but it doesn't make a big difference and you would have to cut eggs, many meats and many dairy products.

>>41791408
yolks are not bad.

>>41791886
Yes they are shit for brains, look at where your research is funded from, often times the person that's telling you it's healthy is directly profiting from it. (Can you blame them)

>>41791824
Wrong 100%

>>41791325
they're 4 grams of protein each relatively low fat, quick and easy to cook and taste pretty damn good

best part is you can get 12 for a dollar and they last forever in the fridge

but if you're eating 4+ eggs everyday get ready for some rancid hot farts

>>41791333

>>41791325
They are great but if your going to use them for anything other than just eating (i.e. protein for bodybuilding) then get rid of the yolk:
The yolk contains all of the fat that is stored within the egg and basically no protein compared to the egg white, the yolk also has 180mg of cholesterol so you can't have more than 2 eggs a day with yolk in them (300mg is the daily amount) but guess what? if you remove the yolk - you can have as many as you want, no fat - all protein and only 17 calories in a large egg, seriously OP ditch the yolk, just because "It's tasty" doesn't mean that it won't give you clogged arteries and make you fat.

>>41792090
Dietary cholesterol is different to blood cholesterol

>>41792108
And there's a clear connection that heavily depends on baseline serum cholesterol (and some people who are sensitive/resistent).

>>41792108
Still better to ditch the yolk

>>41792090
yea just ditch all them good fats and vitamins. literally kys

>>41792090
>fat makes you fat, cholesterol causes heart disease
>1970s understanding of nutrition science
Wait a minute, Doc. Ah... Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?

If you're living with your mom or gf or have a spare time just use yolks to make some cookies.

>>41792139
>Eating eggs for protein
>caring about healthy fats and vitamins

>>41792157
1.21 gigacalories!

>>41792157
The point wasn't that fat makes you fat, it was that yolk had all of the fat and only a tiny amount of the protein, the fact that they have all of the fat means that they have more calories than the egg white leading them to make you fat if you gorge yourself on 10 dozen eggs a day.
There is literally no benefit to yolk unless your a taste fag and in that case your never gonna make it.

>>41792178
I'm against eggs but you do realise the yolk contains basically all of the nutrition right? If you only care about dem protons go buy the cheapest whey you can find.

There is literally nothing wrong with eating the yolk. On the contrary, you're doing yourself a disservice by not eating it.

>>41792090
>The yolk contains all of the fat that is stored within the egg and basically no protein compared to the egg white
Throwing away the yolk is a fucking waste of food. If you're going to do that you might as well just chug a bunch of protein powder instead.

where the fuck do you live? eggs are good for you end of story

Eggs are less than 1/3 protein for calories so shouldn't even be considered a "protein source".

>>41792355

The next time you walk into a supermarket look out for it, you will never find a box of eggs with the word "healthy" on it.

There's a genetic component to dietary cholesterol response but it likely isn't a small number of people who respond badly to it. Studies funded by the egg industry that report "hyper-responders" usually have a study design that sets this specific outcome up.

Show some examples with labels on boxes.

Only if they fit the definition

>Currently, the FDA mandates that the term healthy only be used as a nutrient content claim to describe foods that contain 3g or less total fat and 1g or less of saturated fat per serving, with the exception of fish and meat, which are required by the regulation to have 5g or less total fat and 2g or less saturated fat per serving. Today’s regulations preclude nutrient-rich foods such as nuts, avocados, olives and salmon from using the term healthy as a nutrient content claim.

>>41791325
they are great with american cheese mixed with them

>>41796989

Obviously that's not the case since nuts can and do carry the heart healthy label

buy egg whites.
2 cups is 250 calories, 50g of protein and virtually zero carbs and fat.

egg yolks contain leucine, vitamins a, b, d, e, and k, omega 3 fatty acids, zinc, phosphorous, choline, manganese, copper, calcium, iron, and thiamine

It's confusing because a lot of people like eggs, especially on this board. They're tasty, cheap, easy to cook sources of protein that are iconic in the world of bodybuilding. People want to like eggs, so they assume that eggs are a healthy food and will defend them as such. Add in that over 90% of research on the effects of dietary cholesterol are funded by the egg industry and designed to reach a pro-egg conclusion, people can easily find research that appears to reinforce the belief that eggs are either harmless or beneficial.

A more qualitative analysis of the research suggests that eggs are most likely not a good food to regularly eat, especially in large amounts in an attempt to hit your protein macros.

>>41797214

Every food has nutrients. Egg yolks are a good source of like 2 things, everything else it has in trace amounts.

70mg per 100 grams, with over a gram of omega 6s and 3g of saturated fat.
Meanwhile tuna 280mg omega 3, 9mg omega 6, 0.2g saturated fat, with less calories and twice as much protein.

>>41797490

But it HAS it, that's what COUNTS, right? Doesn't it get a participation ribbon?

>tfw have scrambled eggs 1-3 times a day
>2 yolks + 10-15 egg whites

Best of both worlds. Gets me 30g-40g of protein (depending on whether it's a carb day or not) and 10g-12g of fat.

But they are pseudo-profound weasel words that have exactly as much meaning (i.e. zero)

In this context they are synonymous with natural. An unprocessed food is by definition naturally derived. The poster's point was that a natural food must be good because it's natural.

an egg is a self contained thing. everything inside an egg is exactly what is needed to form a baby chicken when heat (energy) is applied over time, with nothing more added and nothing less than whats to be used in this process.

he isn't arguing that eggs are good just because they were natural, or else he would have to imply that the exact chemical composition of an egg assembled in an artificial setting would be unhealthy, which he did not.

There's no food that doesn't contain some amount of those things. The fact that eggs contain zinc for example doesn't mean eggs contain a significant amount of zinc. The nutritional value isn't very impressive.

>>41802795

Maybe vitamin D, but even junk food contains iron, calcium, magnesium, vitamins, etc. If your argument is just "eggs have these things" well a lot of things have those things. Do eggs have an impressive amount that would be hard to get from other food sources? Not in the slightest.
