[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The eggs + cholesterol thing is mostly a disproven myth. Eggs are incredibly healthy, the issue comes from people eating eggs with bacon or eggs with sausage etc.

Anyways, it sounds pretty healthy. Tons of protein, some carbs, some fat, and some fruit. Better than most american breakfasts![/quote]

Actually it isn’t a myth.  While most heathy people without any heart issue or high risk for heart issues can eat eggs daily, I believe the recommended amount is to keep it around 7 eggs/ week, assuming you are also eating other meats and dairy. 4 eggs every day is a lot.  I wouldn’t poo poo that as totally fine, especially for a middle aged man.

OP, just encourage him to get yearly physicals and blood work, like everyone should be doing over 40. If cholesterol starts rising, or BP, or anything concerning with heart comes up, time to dial back the eggs. [/quote]

Another credible analysis that finds correlation between long-term high egg consumption (3 per day) and increased cholesterol and increased risk for cardiovascular disease

Thanks for this. I’m the high risk diabetes poster. I don’t understand why high egg consumption is considered healthy. [/quote]
