Egg Fats ????

[massmaker56]

Hey guys just curious on something. I know whole eggs have lots of cholestrol in them and plenty of fat. But are the fats that are in them mostlly good. Ive been eating whole eggs latelly in the morning and at night instead of the whites. Only because they are hard boiled and i love the taste. But will this cause a sudden increase in body fat or should i be alright.

An example would be breakfast 4 whole eggs, 1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese. And the same as last meal of the night.

To tell you the truth it has a lot of factors that could make a difference. One being what the rest of your diet looks like, and two how many calories you're taking in with regards to your BMR and your AMR... But to tell you the truth I believe as long as you dont start mixing a bunch of eggs w/ a large amount of carbs. I think you will be alright, but maybe your metabolism can handle that???

I go by what I have learned, that you should either have a protein/fat meal, or a carb/protein meal. But to never mix all three... It sounds like to me that you are doing that.

The fats are omega fats and from what I understand the cholesterol in the yolks raises your HDL levels, which is the "good" cholesterol. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but that has been my understanding. Also, you can use the search function here and find out about it. peace

Im not 100% sure, but my understanding is that cholesterol isn't that bad, its only when cholesterol oxidizes that you run into trouble.

Latest news on egg yolks...

...seems to give them a better pass than was commonly known. However, your effects depend greatly on your individual body chemistry. What is your base Total cholesterol, your LDL, HDL, you triglycerides, your ratio's of ldl to hdl. etc. Your best overall bet is to get a baseline test, and change the diet and do a followup test. It also depends on your other fat intakes.

My doctor has not restricted egg yolk intake for my particlular profile: 205 total cholesterol, (was 180 b4 I quit exercising) HDL of 66 ldl of 120 or so.

I personally eat whites most of the time but mix in a couple yolks when I eat boiled eggs, usually take out half.

Only 1/20 of a egg yolk is cholerstrol.

Whole eggs are fine. They have not been shown to raise bad cholesterol. If you already have high cholesterol, I would consult your doctor first. Opt for Omega-3 eggs for a better fatty acid profile. Less saturated fat and more Omega-3s.

I love eggs I say eat them any way you like them

Whole eggs have been shown to lower bad cholseterol. Also there is an equal amount of protein in both parts but the amino profile from the white to the yolk is different. When combined they are the perfect protein. When separated they are less than perfect for our purposes. So 6 whole eggs is the equivalent of 12 egg whites plus you get a lot of other good stuff from the yolks. A host of good b vitamins as well. Eat them whole!

VInce Gironda Style..Not my words.

"When I get up, my high fat jump-starter is four or five eggs, depending on how hungry I am. Eggs don't cause heart attacks. Some people take the yolk from the egg and eat just the egg white, but that's wrong. Eggs are whole food, the greatest food you can eat. It closely matches the human anatomy. Eggs are the finest protein, along with liver and raw milk. That's been proven over and over. They have the highest PER (protein efficiency ratio) rating"

"The egg is a perfect food. You see, God is the greatest chemist in the world. He created the egg."

"If you separate the white and yolk of the egg, you get an isolated protein. Any time you separate the white and the yolk of an egg, you get an isolated protein. Any time you separate protein from fat you're left with an incomplete food. The manufacturers of protein powders tell you to mix them with juice or water. Well, let me tell you, folks - you can't digest protein without fat. Vince taught me that and he was right. When you swallow an egg white, it goes into your stomach and your stomach says, "Hey, where's the fat?" The white, which is protein, has no vehicle for conversion, so it's converted to sugar."

"The same thing happens when you use protein powder. They say to mix with juice or water because they're made of ionized whey protein, which is the skim of cottage cheese. It's not biologically superior to eggs, liver and milk. These powders make you feel good because they're carbohydrated sugar. Sure you're going to put on weight, but it's not going to be muscle weight"

You cannot digest protein without fat...

"and it must be digested to be converted to amino acids. Once it's digested it goes through the liver and is converted to amino acids. If it's not digested the liver can't do its job. If eggs or fat cause heart attacks, I want someone to tell me how my grandmother and grandfather, who were both muscular people with beautiful skin, lived on a farm, consumed raw milk, natural eggs pork sausage and butter (my grandfather died two months shy of his 98th birthday, and my grandmother died when she was 101"

Ditto

I have protein and fat when dieting down and protein and carbs when bulking, if you mix the 3 in heavy doses your defently prone to some heavy fat and water retention.
