[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You left out some important details, OP.

Is he overweight?

How is his cholesterol?

He's 6'2 and weighs 170 pounds. I don't know the details from his annual physicals.[/quote]

He sounds underweight.[/quote]

That's a BMI of 22, which is right in the middle of the "normal" 18.5-25 range. (BMI isn't perfect and doesn't mean he's healthy by he is definitely not underweight.

From the Mayo Clinic (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-cholesterol/expert-answers/cholesterol/faq-20058468): " the cholesterol in eggs doesn't seem to raise cholesterol levels the way some other foods, such as those high in trans fats and saturated fats, do. ... Health experts now suggest eating as little dietary cholesterol as you can, aiming to keep intake under 300 milligrams (mg) a day. One large egg has about 186 mg of cholesterol — all of which is found in the yolk."

So it's more than advised, but probably not a big deal unless he has high cholesterol. Ask him about his test results, tell him your concerns, then let him live his life.[/quote]
