On a very low carb diet, how many whole eggs per day are too many? Has anyone ever had large amounts per day than had your cholesterol checked to see how it affected you?
I'm eating a nice amount of whole eggs per day and over the course of the last week, all my lifts have gone up even though I have been dropping even more calories due to limiting my carbs so much. I've dropped about 20 pounds of fat in the last month and a half.
I plan to get a physical next month and have a blood test to see how everything is going on inside of me.
Thanks.
10 total eggs (three in the morning, three at night) if you're taking OMEGA-3 eggs; About 8 eggs total with 4 egg whites if you're taking regular eggs. This is from Dave Palumbo's philosophy.
I think the excess cholesterol is overrated and it's necessary to produce testosterone anyway so if you're training consistently and all other aspects of your diet is relatively low in saturated fats, this seems permissible.
