Can you eat too many eggs?

[safeinOhio]

In Mid-Michigan they are still just about giving them away. Hardly ever go to Wally World, but did today and got 18 large eggs for 79 cents. Mostly shop at Miejers and not much more there. On a low carb/fasting diet so I’m eating 4 or 5, at least every day.
Are you finding those prices where you live. These prices have been going on here for over a year.

1. You probably can't OD on eggs, but

I sure wouldn't want to be stuck in a small room with someone who had just eaten a lot of them.

2. No, unless perhaps you eat eggs and only eggs

with nary a green vegetable or piece of fruit in sight.

Plus, eggs are ingredients in lots of other things.

3. Many years ago a pre-med student told me that the egg/cholesterol issue was a myth because

the cholesterol in the yolk is countered by the lecithin (an emulsifier) in the albumin. So I never paid attention to warnings and eat a lot of eggs every week and my cholesterol count is below average. I'd wonder, however, what kind of feed the chickens are getting, and how are they living while producing, if you're buying 18 eggs for $0.79. Where I live (western Oregon), I get 20 jumbo eggs from range chickens raised on O.G. feed for 10 bucks. I still think it's a bargain.

5. you can eat too many of anything

4 or 5 eggs every day is too many

[Binkie The Clown]

6. Yes, you can easily eat too many eggs

16. The video claims eggs are bad because of saturated fat and cholesterol?

It must suck for the person who made that video that both metrics have been increasingly invalidated as health concerns in recent years.

18. Big tobacco "proved" that cigarettes were harmless. Big oil "proved" global warming is a hoax.

Big meat "proved" that cholesterol doesn't cause atherosclerosis.

Funny how "scientists" funded by some enormously rich special interest group always finds in favor of that group.

7. Great fasting meal

Half tortilla (warm it)
1 or 2 scrambled eggs
spoonful of salsa

This tastes so good, I've had to say I can only have it on fasting days.

[Ilsa]

8. That's a fast? I thought fasting was no

Food, only water, maybe weak tea or black coffee.

I might call it vegetarian since no animal is slain.

17. If you have an hour, watch this

12. Eggs + Salsa Heaven!

9. There is a current paradigm shift in what causes

elevated LDL levels in the blood. Simple carbs, not high fat foods is the new culprit.

My LDL levels got pretty high and I lowered it by going on a bacon diet. My doctor about pooped his pants when I told him.

That's just my research, but check it out.

Who would not eat anything but eggs. He ate dozens every day. When they tested his cholesterol level it was normal.

Eta - they call him the eggman, he ate 25 eggs per day:

14. They may not be fresh.

Many years ago, one of my college dorm mates told me they can store them for long periods. His father was in the business.

15. When I was a child, our family moved to the country

and mother got maybe 30 or so chickens. We ate eggs for breakfast lunch and dinner one summer. She made angel food cakes and yellow cakes and we ate eggs in every imaginable dish. I'm 70 and in good health.

19. Here is my research, and I'm sticking to it.
