    How much is too much???

    Hey everyone,

    I was wondering about the amount of eggs we can eat. I eat them everyday so I try to eat the egg whites 4-5 days and whole eggs 2 days a week. Does it matter? I know that I should be trying to up my fat but if i eat 2-3 whole eggs a day wouldn't that bring my cholesterol up? Just wondering Does anyone have an idea about this? thanks in advance

        Our livers produce over 2/3 of the cholesterol in our blood. Only 1/3 comes from our diet.

        Also egg yolks contain a chemical called "choline". Choline helps to lower blood cholesterol and it does some other things as well.

        Personally, I wouldn't eat 12 eggs per day because too much of anything is bad.

          I don't eat 12 eggs a day. I eat 2-3 a day. I don't think i could stomach 12 eggs a day even if it were egg whites lol

            You do NOT need to worry about the cholesterol in eggs or anything else while on Atkins. You're trying to eat more fat, not reduce or limit it.

            Dr. Atkins considered eggs the perfect food, and said you could eat as many as you want.

            I personally, because I don't eat much meat, eat between 4 and 8 eggs a day.

            Stop eating just the egg whites. You need the yolk, which has the fat.

              I eat at least 5 eggs a day. Fried eggs, chopped egg on salad, devilled eggs for snacks. Cauliflower salad.
              My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people.

                I eat a lot of eggs. I snack on hard boiled eggs and slice them into my salad. I eat a lot of crustless quiches. I make mock danish. Sometimes I eat eggs for breakfast. I'm not eating a dozen eggs a day or anything, but I've never restricted them.
