Traveller Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 So I finally decided to join Nerd Fitness and in one of the introductory e-mails Steve asked to make one small change to my diet. I decided to start eating eggs again. Currently I'm planning (and have done so for the past 3 days) to eat 2-3 eggs every day. I'd like your opinion whether it's safe to consume eggs daily. I'm 26 years old and I don't have any physical problems. Quote Link to comment

BaconHunter Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Eggs are awesome. I eat them almost everyday. 3-4 for breakfast. They provide plenty of health benefits and the fear of cholesterol is a bunch of crap. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm 26 years old and I don't have any physical problems.The ridiculousness of the fear of eggs that has spread into "common knowledge" upsets me.What did eggs ever do besides being awesome? If I was an egg, I would hate the world. If I was an egg, I would eat myself half a dozen times over every meal. I would be so delicious and nutritious and culinarily versatile. If I was an egg and the doctor told me that my life would end as an egg and I would transform into a chicken, I would commit seppuku and and die with honor by disemboweling myself into a hot frying pan. 11 Quote Current Challenge March 2016 Second Challenge First challenge, Battle Log Link to comment

Skadaddle09 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Eggs are awesome. Plus, they make eggcellent (lol, had to) pick up and go snacks or additions to meals if you boil a bunch of them in advance. :3 2 Quote The Cultured Nerd Link to comment

adam jones Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Short answer, yes. Long answer: Eggs are packed with vitamins, minerals, goof fats and protein. Eggs also has all 9 essential amino acids and are rich in iron, vitamin A, B12 B2 & B5. Regarding cholesterol, some studies have shown that a small percentage of people (I believe it was around 30%) that are eating eggs daily, may have increases in their cholesterol slightly, but it also increases the density of the LDL particles.Now this is not something to be concerned about because people who have predominantly large LDL particles have lower risk of heart disease, so it's nothing to worry about. I would definitely recommend adding eggs to your diet. Quote Link to comment
Vintage Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Eat the eggs. For the exception of certain people who's bodies don't process dietary cholesterol normally (you'd most likely know this by now, through family history or your own blood work), cholesterol in a balanced diet is easily dealt with. In fact, our bodies use it to synthesize hormones like testosterone. Studies on cholesterol (like many other diet related studies) often run up against a problem of confounding factors. How many of the people in the "eggs every day" category are eating 3 eggs scrambled with 2 servings of veggies and some lean chicken, and how many are eating 3 fried eggs with bacon, sausage, cheese, potatoes, and some toast on the side? Then which ones followed that up with a salad at lunch and which ones with a patty melt and fries? That said, eggs are great in that they have a nice balance of protein and fat. But they're not really a super lean source of protein, and they're not a terribly efficient source of protein all on their lonesome. 3 eggs is still less than 20g of protein. So consider tossing in some lean chicken, pork or beef (or another solid protein source) as well (plus some veggies) for a main meal. Quote Link to comment

Papa Raf C Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 I like eggs on my face.

Eleanorsbee Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 when I can be bothered - egg muffins crammed with pepepes and chilli and brocolliwhen I can be bothered and its breakfast - pancaked with mashed banana and cinnamon when I can almost be bothered - scrambled When I cant be bothered - omelet when I really really cant be bothered - hard boiled The thing is I really like boiled eggs and they make great snacks, so a lot of the time I just cant be bothered to make something, when boiling them is that much quicker and cleaner and tastes just as good ! oh and a lot of the time, if I am cooking something in the oven .. in the last 13minutes I'll crack an egg over it and it kind of fries itsself on whatever you cracked it over !

Josieshima Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I love omelettes and hard-boiled eggs but I'm still not sold on their health promoting benefits. Eggs might be great for loosing weight or adding protein to your diet, especially if it keeps you from eating a snickers bar. Unfortunately I haven't seen any evidence that adding eggs to a healthy diet promotes long term cardiovascular health. Most of the pro-egg studies I've read correlate eggs with health by replacing refined carbs with eggs. http://nutritionfacts.org/video/egg-cholesterol-in-the-diet/ Quote Josieshima▬▬ιâ•â•â•â•â•â•â•ïº¤Level 1 | Human | RangerCurrent Challenge (Feb 23 - Apr 6) STATS |STR DEX STA CON WIS CHA | | 2 1 1 1 2 1 | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯2015 Weight Loss Goal (226 lbs -> 190 lbs): 15.6%15.6% Push-up Challenge (35 consecutive): 70%70% Squat Challenge (40 consecutive): 80%80% Pull-up Challenge (3 consecutive): 1%1% There are no limits.

Disil Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Given the vast amount of nutrients in eggs, I'd say that alone has them promote long term health. As far as that video goes or that site in general, it looks pretty ridiculous. Quote How about a glass of purgatory with a splash of heaven? Link to comment
