Some people can’t take in new information very well. It’s not 1992.

What? Eggs are not low fat protein. They are nearly equal parts fat and protein. 4 eggs would be 20g fat and only 24g protein.
A chicken breast is 30g protein and 3g fat.

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.

Thanks for this. I’m the high risk diabetes poster. I don’t understand why high egg consumption is considered healthy.
Still no link between diabetes? This is regarding cardiovascular disease.
I posted the links to the articles about diabetes. The takeaway is that people who are high-risk should limit egg consumption. And even if that weren't true, how is consuming high amounts of something that can increase cardiovascular risk for anyone a good thing?

Sometimes a half a banana or a nectarine. Is this fine? It's been his breakfast routine for years, 5 to 7 mornings a week. Only time he doesn't eat this is when we're traveling, go out to eat on a weekend, or he lacks the time.
This is my same meal but 2 over medium pasture raised eggs, sometimes 3 plus 2 pieces of Daves toast with butter and jelly. Add fruit on the side like any type of berry, plum, pear, or peach. Raspberries are a particular favorite and high in fiber.
I need to start making sourdough.
Its a pretty fantastic breakfast. I do rotate baked oatmeal and CFA minis occasionally.
My breakfasts are similar.

Just let the man eat his breakfast. If you said he was shoveling down a bunch of bacon or sausage, that’s different. But eggs and wheat toast with a cup of coffee? Come on.

The eggs are fine. The butter is marginally concerning.
What's your worry about this?

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.
He’s naturally thin. And runs a lot? I hate running.
Several hours of sustained aerobic cardio per week is going to have a much bigger - in that case - positive effect on his blood work than any of these eggs. People like to study and read things and not actually live them.
