Dietary cholesterol is an insignificant contributor to serum cholesterol, which comes from the person’s own liver. Which is why “cutting cholesterol” usually does very little and statins work wonders.

+1. Eggs have gotten a bad rap for years.

A Harvard phd nutritionist was recently quoted in the NYTimes confirming the results of a study that showed eggs increase risk of type 2 diabetes. I personally limited egg consumption because of that finding.

DP - I believe this study was actually about the effect on eggs on people who already have diabetes, and it was shown to slightly increase risk of heart disease.

Let's make sure we are not spreading fake news

I’m not spreading fake news. The article was about increased risk of type 2. I am high risk so I closely follow research about the disease.

If its a different study, do you mind linking it? I'd like to make sure I'm also not sharing fake news!

Why specifically would eggs increase the risk of type 2 diabetes?

Also, who cares? Living increases the risk of inevitable death.

I eat this (minus an egg or two) with two slices of Dave's Killer Bread with some veggies thrown in and berries on the side. I'm a creature of habit with breakfast and now that I work from home, I can whip this up before my meetings start. The morning protein hit has really helped my energy level. My DH benefits too because I make it for him on the days he works from home too.

If he was eating a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch in the morning with whole milk and OJ, I guess you could criticize but you could also just let a grown man make his own food choices.

If anything he should drop one slice of bread. Posters here are clueless about his cholesterol works! If glucose levels are fine, this is a great bkfst

Sounds healthy to me. I'd rather eat what he is eating than a baked good from the bakery or cereal.

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.

He sounds underweight.

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.

It is probably about 500-600 calories. If that fits with the rest of his daily calories and he's maintaining a healthy weight, and his other meals provide adequate amounts of nutrients this meal lacks (fiber, vitamins found in fruit and vegetables) then it's fine.
