Another Egg Thread

  1. Interesting video:



    He claims that whole eggs have a substantially higher anabolic effect than any other food, including much higher than egg whites alone, which I have eaten a lot of in years past. He claims that 48% of every egg turns into body tissue. I don't know the science behind the claim, and the guy isn't a medical doctor, so I checked for more recent info on whole egg consumption on what I consider to be credible sites:

    https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases...terol/expert-answers/cholesterol/faq-20058468

    I don't know about eating 4-5 eggs a day as he claims to do, but I'm looking into one a day, and maybe 2 on my lifting day.

    And to think that, not too long ago, I mistakenly believed that I had developed something of an egg allergy...

  6. I eat a dozen eggs per week. Anywhere from 1 to 3 per day depending on workout.
     
  7. That’s a bit more than I’m prepared to commit to, at least for now. It’s a big stretch for me as it is being in the 7-8 range. Although several years ago, when I was limiting egg consumption to egg whites, I had about 24 a week.
     
  8. But there's always a damned fly in the ointment:

    ...study published in The New England Journal of Medicine found that eating two hard-boiled eggs daily increased the formation of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a chemical linked to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Egg yolks contain lecithin, an essential fat that contributes to TMAO formation.

    On TMAO (trimethylene N-oxide):

    My problem with eggs is that I get burned out on the flavor of them pretty quick. I can't just do eggs in the morning every single day. No way.
