Are too many eggs bad for you?
Hi
Is it bad to eat too many eggs?
The reason I ask is because I am considering starting some weight training and building some muscle, but many of the diet programs I read about include many eggs per day, sometimes up to 6!
Is this unhealthy? I think I heard somewhere that they raise your cholesterol or might clog your arteries?
Is any of this true?
Raw eggs are not good for you, although many weight training programs promote eating raw eggs. Something in the way the body processes raw eggs is not good. Cooking makes them easier to digest.
But the dangerous part is the yolk(yellow part) u have to avoid eating yolk which is full of carbohydrates..much consumption of yolk results in cholesterol and heart diseases.
Dietary cholesterol has very little effect on your blood cholesterol.
As a matter of fact, Julio Franco, professional baseball player and health fanatic would eat 25 egg whites every day.
Just do the whites and you are golden!
Hope this helps
