Like Gaston! 😂

I like to make an egg bake with about eight or ten eggs, fresh spinach, mushrooms, squash and zucchini, butter, milk, cheese and seasonings and then eat it almost every breakfast for a week or two.

I'd actually enjoy eating just two or three fried eggs with some toast like OP's husband but I think it's healthier to round it out with some vegetables.

No advice for the OP since what other people eat for breakfast is really not her problem.

TL;DR, fats and carbs affect blood cholesterol levels more than dietary cholesterols

"Research has foundTrusted Source that dietary cholesterol is not associated with an increased risk of heart disease.

A lot of research has been conducted on eggs specifically. Eggs are a significant source of dietary cholesterol, but studies have shownTrusted Source that eating them is not associated with an elevated risk of heart disease.

Also, eggs may even help improve your lipoprotein profiles, which could lower your risk.

One 2013 studyTrusted Source compared the effects of whole eggs and a yolk-free egg substitute on cholesterol levels.

People who ate three whole eggs daily experienced a greater increase in HDL particles and a greater decrease in LDL particles than those who consumed an equivalent amount of egg substitute."

My DH has been making steak and eggs 3 mornings a week for himself for 30+ years. I am happy for every day him as who knows how long I'll have him

on the other hand he cycles every day and about 100 miles on weekends. He has the sexiest thighs I have ever seen.

Did OP state the actual issue with this breakfast?

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

My dietitian at GW (who is young and up to date on the research) told me to cut back on egg consumption because my cholesterol is slightly elevated.

So was mine, I cut out egg yolks, high fat dairy, and red meat and it went way down

If you want to cut yolks, cut eggs completely. Eating only whites is wasteful and needlessly cruel.

I mean it depends where you get your eggs. I get my eggs from our neighbor for $3 a carton. They have like 10 chickens and seem to always have eggs to sell.

Being human and alive is needlessly cruel. What’s your point?

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

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.

Another credible analysis that finds correlation between long-term high egg consumption (3 per day) and increased cholesterol and increased risk for cardiovascular disease
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7400894/

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?

“Intervention studies have shown that moderate egg consumption doesn’t appreciably raise cholesterol levels,” Dr. Hu said. “Low to moderate consumption of three or four eggs a week doesn’t appear to have a major effect on blood cholesterol unless the person has high cholesterol or Type 2 diabetes.”

I’m not sure this article is saying what you think it does

If his cholesterol is ok, and he doesn't have egg farts all day long, I don't see the problem.

That’s only 240+200 = 540 calories.
Let the man eat.

100% agree. Eggs ( pasture raised ones) are healthy.

Eggs are heathy in moderation, as in 1-2 per day or less.

4 eggs per day, every single day, long term is definitely questionable, especially for a middle aged man. This would be considered high egg consumption and is linked to Heath problems as noted already
