Is 3 eggs a day too much?
Discussion
The last I heard: you don't get high cholesterol in your blood by consuming foods high in cholesterol. It's more caused by eating unhealthy fats, ie saturated fat. Eggs I believe contain about 1.75g of saturated fat per egg. I think UK guidelines state to keep under 30g saturated per day, for men, and under 20g per day for women. In the US thery recomend less, about 5-7% total calories, which works out to roughly half the UK recomendation.
We went almost entirely plant based a few years ago. Purely for health reasons, nothing to do ethics. So eggs were off the menu. It was the only food I missed and did crave them every now and then and did still occasionally eat them. I was talking to a woman at work about it one lunch time and she referred to them as chicken periods
I don't crave them quite as much now!

Cut out artificial oils. Stick to butter, beef tallow, olive oil. I noticed a massive difference. Gassing Station | Health Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
