too many eggs?

[krisanlove]

If I have 2 eggs scrambled with veggies, can I also have 2 hard-boiled eggs later in the day for a snack? How many carbs is 4 eggs? Should I not have so many in one day?

I also have cholesterol above 260. This eating eggs thing scares me every time I do it. I have tried eggbeaters but don't like them. How long do you have to be on Atkins before your cholesterol levels show a difference?
Thanks

Re: too many eggs?

I count 1 carb for each egg although If i remember correctly there is less than one carb but I just round it up to be on the safe side.

I on average eat about 4 eggs a day. Sometimes less. I make three scrambled up with bacon pieces, hot sauce and minced garlic every morning and that stays with me until I mid day lunch although sometimes I munch on pork rinds in between to get the fat content up.

As far as the cholesterol thing is concerned I'm not sure and I'm sorry that I don't know that. But someone out there will help for sure! But I do know that your cholesterol will go down.

Do you have the Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution? I think it specifically has a part on it about cholesterol and how this diet affects it.

BTW what level are you on? are you on induction? I see your join date was in 2007 but around here that doesn't mean much. Mine says sept 11th of last year but I took a hiatus but now I'm back better than ever! Maybe you can consider posting a ticker in your signature line and maybe a starting picture like mine below. It helps keep you motivated and when you've lost a bunch of weight you can post that picture too and see the two side by side. It helps believe me.

Anyway if you are new (again) welcome. Kick back take off you shoes and stay awhile!!!
