Thread: Anybody else eat all whole eggs?

Personally? I say fuck that noise. I've got a semi-high bf, but I still eat whole eggs. I eat lobster. I use butter. My diet is mediocre at best. I've got low cholesterol. 2 eggs a day(minimum) for (minimum of) 5 days a week. After a weekend of drinking like a fish, eating like a slob and having 4 eggs for breakfast for 2 days, my cholesterol was 149. BANG BANG! Lol

Some people are more prone to being lard asses.(me) Some people are meticulous on so many aspects of their diet, but fuck it all up in just one way.(I fuck it up in moar ways than one)

Imho, as long as your blood work is ok, and you can meet\exceed your goals, keep doin whole eggs.

(Side note HOLY FUCKING SHIT, FUCKIN 8 EGGS A DAY? GOOD FUCKIN GOD MAN!) Lol

I usually just eat the whole egg. I used to throw the yolks away, but now I just eat them.

I would just have to use more eggs per day and waste money. Do yolks really raise cholesterol that much? And would more cholesterol mean more converted to testosterone?

I wouldn't worry about it.... as long as you are reaching your caloric intake and attaining the results you desire.

My only concern would be if you were genetically predisposed to cholesterol problems.

I'm fairly certain that I was blessed with pretty good genetics as far as health goes. No one in my family that I know of has Diabetes, heart problems, cholesterol problems, etc. Just good ol fashioned American alcoholism and depression. My cholesterol is kind of messed up at the moment though because I kickstarted my current cycle with Superdrol. Maybe I SHOULD watch the yolks...hmm.

Thanks for the quick replies bros. I might have to start hanging around the diet forum more.

By the way, 8 eggs is nothin lol. I know guys that eat 20+ a day lol.

I was blessed with genetically high choleserol. At 25 yrs old my bad cholesterol was at 220. Supposed to be 100 and I'm not overweight. Doc put me on a pill and I'm in perfect range now. Since I went on the simvastatin I now eat more yellows but not every one. I also have 8 eggs every morning but only 4 yellows. I throw the shell away all the time. Lol

Yup...

For me, it depends on my goals. If I am running AAS on a bulk...HELL YEAH gimme them yolks! If I'm on maintenance, I'll usually do half and half.

That's kinda my thoughts. I've been on a never ending bulk since high school. I want to get to 225 before I start to diet down for my first show, and since I'm at 4200 cals and not gaining much at all in the way of BF, I figure why not. Thanks.

Hasn't it been shown that dietary cholesterol intake has little to no effect on serum cholesterol levels?

Hell yes I eat whole eggs. I used to eat 10-12 a day.

Damn well eat the whole egg.
Sadly, I often forget to buy them

I love whole eggs. Hubby does too - he eats five every day, fried in butter.

there is good cholesterol in the yolk.......so please dont throw away your yolks.

Look into Niacin supplementation for good HDL numbers. Dont worry about the flush, they go away with time.

I love eggs... but apparently not as much as you guys. Dayum! LOL
I eat about 6-8 a week (3 whites to 1 yolk).

Anyone eat egg substitute? Are these unhealthy?

Does that particular statin impact the liver negatively? I'm curious as my GP put me on pravastatin and it is contraindicated in patients with impared liver function.

I usually make a liquid meal out of 2 whole eggs and a carton of pasteurized egg whites. I am not sure what is in egg "substitute", but the pasteurized whites are super convenient.

yeah i eat atleast 5 whole eggs a day.. used to eat just the whites when i first started because thats what everyone says do and i was scared of fats because they are bad!! then once i educated myself a little i realized that whole eggs got all kinds of good stuff in them

You need the yolk. That is where the all the good nutrients are!

6 a day. 3 scrambled in the microwave for breakfast, and 3 hard boiled around 5pm or so.

By genetically predisposed are we talking about familial hypercholesterolemia?:

The Simon Broome Familal Hyperlipidaemia Register Group followed 3000 people with hypercholesterolemia, at most recent, 102 of them died of a heart attack.But if you take the same age group in the English population they calculated the expected number to be 40.

Other studies about famlial hypercholesterolemia:

Finland- 30 people died, 26 of heart attack, 4 of other causes. 67% of those who died smoked, while 41% was that for the survivors. Initial LDL was the same for those who died and those who were still alive.

UK, US, Canada- Found cholesterol varied little individuals with heart disease and those without, in fact, those with the highest LDL had no heart disease.

Netherlands- People with familial hypercholesterolemia lived longer according to Dr. Eric Sijbrands and co-workers who studied university hospitals.

Before the 1900's, the most common cause of death was infectious diseases, yet those with familial hypercholesterolemia lived longer.

"These studies show that the problem is not these people's high cholesterol, but rather their higher susceptibility for clot formations." - Uffe Ravnskov

(the clots he referring to are prothrombin)

One study included 850 people with hypercholesterolemia, before the trial they were given Lipitor, then half given torcetrapid. Carotid thickness actually increased in the half that got torcetrapid although LDL was 20% lower and HDL was 60% higher. More than twice the number of people administered torcetrapid had cardiovascular events compared to those who didn't.

(granted, torcetrapid was later acknowledged as increasing heart disease, though it gave people, on average, 60% higher HDLs)

Frank Cooper, a person with hypercholesterolemia, shunned drugs and lived until 50 with no sign of heart disease, with a cholesterol of 387mg/dl

(courtesy of Uffe Ravnskov and Anthony Colpo)

And a few points about statins made by Dr. Dwight Lundell, one of the first people to successfully operate on a beating heart-

Statins:
Lower cholesterol
Do modestly decrease mortality in middle-aged with known CHD.
Do not decrease mortality or heart attack rates in any women.
Do not decrease mortality rates in men of any age who have not been diagnosed with heart disease.

Honestly I dont know. The doc checks my bloodwork about every 12 months and hasn't told me of any issues with my liver. Wish I had more for ya.

Yup, me too.

normally do 10 a day. 4 in the morning, 2 whole/2 whites and 6 whites as part of my early afternoon snack.

I gulp down liquid egg whites everyday. Pretty much because I'm lazy, and I'm not crazy about how omelets taste. But if I am home for the weekend, my mom will make me veggie filled omelets!

I have always stuck to separating the yolks from the eggs. When I am trying to put on weight I will eat the entire egg, but usually throw the yolks in the trash. I've recently discovered that egg shells are really beneficial to soil so I have been crushing them up and putting them on top of the dirt in my planter. I figured if they have some benefit I mind as well use them for that instead of throwing them away.

Also are good for keeping snails out and little lizards/geckos in, also they are good for your garbage disposal.

Whats the deal with Salmonilla and raw eggs. Im about at the end of my rope cooking scrambled eggs every single morning. Id rather just smash them raw. Somebody school me on this.

I didn't read everything but yeah, there is no correlation. Besides, if you throw away the yolk you're throwing away all the good stuff anyway. There is no reason to eat only egg whites unless you are going calorie deficient and there are better ways to do that than throwing away the yolk anyway..

I think the chance of you getting salmonellae is pretty low. That is of course assuming you're not: 1) Old, 2) Very young, or 3) have HIV and/or cancer. The only thing you might end up having is a biotin deficiency if you're just eating raw eggs. But if you're eating the yolks + the whites then I don't think thats an issue.

I bye tubs of 126 eggs boiled peeled already eat 10-13 a day most days

$30.00 whole tub
