No wonder heart disease is the number one killer of Americans. So much eggs, cheese and butter consumed!

Also, oatmeal has been shown to decrease cholesterol levels.

I would alternate. I'd have the carbier option on my heavy cardio days and the protein heavy option on my lifting days. It's good to shake things up.

Raw eggs in a milkshake is quick and easy.

Oatmeal doesn't have to be sweet. You get fiber and protein.


I don't do a raw egg, but a soft boiled egg in oatmeal, ideally with some mushrooms, is a breakfast I love.

I have oatmeal for breakfast and boiled eggs for mid morning snack.

Another vote for alternating. Eggs keep me full for longer. But oatmeal is very comforting, and that fiber is really important.

I’d alternate the two breakfasts.

I’d personally alternate at a minimum


I’m having this issue too. I was eating eggs daily and now I’m going to reduce to 1 and egg whites and cut out some other things.

That has been debunked like a million times. It’s just not true.


+1 I don't know why people would come on here and so confidentially say things that aren't true. Like, if you aren't positive, don't post. My cardiologist agrees with this poster that there is no proof that dietary cholesterol is bad for our hearts. He also prescribes and I take a statin. Zero side effects after 20 years. Cholesterol is crazy low (but I have terrible family history) and he tells me to enjoy as many eggs as I would like for breakfast. I just so happen to have two every morning. I also have yogurt and half an avocado.


Ha. Come on- he’s a quack. You are on a station for crying out loud. That’s the only thing keeping it in check with the eggs.

Depending on the person- eggs do pose a risk. I’m one of them. I can keep cholesterol down when I cut out whole eggs and saturated fats and take psyllium husk. The last time I started daily eggs my ldl went through the roof (low triglycerides and high HDL)- but the ldl level was high.

My GW dietitian said only six eggs a week because of cholesterol risk.
