>eating more than 2 eggs a week rises your blood cholesterol
Is this a meme?
It might raise your cholesterol, but the consensus is that it's your ratio of LDL/HDL cholesterol that actually matters. The effect of dietary cholesterol on vascular health is controversial.
Regardless, I eat about 20-30 eggs a week with the yolks.
>>36118172
Your body metabolizes 7-8 more cholesterol daily than what a normal cholesterol consumption would do. You could eat 12 eggs a day and still be the normal cholesterol range.
Realistically speaking you should be drinking a dozen raw eggs a day & spackling your toilet with premium quality diarrhea.
Consumed cholesterol is not equivalent to the blood cholesterol.
>>36118203
>7-8 more cholesterol
What?
>>36118296
he probably means 7-8x more
>>36118296
On a scale of 12-33 cholesterols. Duh.
>>36118172
im a vegetarian and my only source of cholesterol is from 3 eggs a day. am i going to die?
>>36118325
Yes.
Those egg council creeps got to you too /fit/, huh?

Do Vegetarians eat eggs?

>eating more than 2 eggs a week rises your blood cholesterol

It's not a meme, they are just poke at arguments like feminist do by refusing to share all the information.
>>36118203
Not that having normal cholesterol is a good thing.

fish eggs and dairy
but i only eat the eggs because i get them from my grandmas farm.

You literally balance out the two and than lower or increase total cholesterol depending on your testosterone needs.

Eggs raise your blood by five whole cholestrols!

You want low LDL with high HDL, not high LDL with high HDL
http://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/making-sense-of-cholesterol-tests
http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/hdl-the-good-but-complex-cholesterol
>The LDL measurement is usually considered the most important for assessing risk and deciding on treatment. The definition of a healthy level keeps on getting lower. For people at low risk of heart disease, an LDL of less than 100 is desirable, However, people at higher risk of heart disease, an LDL of less than 70 or perhaps even lower is considered “optimal.” Some experts say that an LDL of less than 70 would be a healthy LDL goal for all of us.
>Cholesterol guidelines focus on lowering elevated LDL first. Raising HDL comes later. That means a high HDL doesn’t cancel out high LDL when it comes time to determine whether to start lifestyle or drug therapy. Instead, HDL takes a back seat to LDL.
You want to raise HDL by exercising and avoiding processed carbs, not by eating foods that also raise LDL. Your body also doesn't give a shit how high your cholesterol is when it comes to producing testosterone.

Thats actually not true, its your triglyceride levels that are more important.

for what it's worth, i've had 3 eggs every morning for a long time now, and im in the best shape of my life.
I also eat lean meats, chicken breast, oatmeal, veggies, and other good healthy foods. eggs are a godsend, foods that are healthy and taste good are essential when you eat clean (which isnt easy).
looking at MFP, 3 scrambled eggs os 210 cals, 3 carbs, 15g fat, 18g protein. cant go wrong with those macros.
>>36118717
You could be in even better shape if you clean up your diet a little more
>>36118172
>>36118172
Listen. The majority of /fit/ will deny that egg/dietary cholesterol has anything to do with blood cholesterol because they like eating eggs too much.
But dietary cholesterol DEFINITELY affects blood cholesterol slight in most people, and a lot in a small group of hyper-responders. I am one of them.
I've eaten a a diet at maintenance calories, with 6 eggs a day. Blood work showed very high cholesterol levels, HDL and LDL. Yes, I know high HDL is good, but even better would be a low LDL.
For the next two months, I ate the exact same diet, but replaced eggs with nuts and when I got my bloodwork done again, my blood cholesterol was significantly lower.
>>36118899
may be a little late here, but what nuts would you recommend?
i dont eat eggs cause they taste gross
you gonna cry about it?
>>36119140
All nuts are pretty good. As usual though, almonds are a cut above the rest.
> almonds
> only 7.5% of fat is saturated fat
> 7.3g protein per 200 kcal
> 17g fat per 200 kcal
> 4.2g fiber per 200 kcal
Almond is nut master race.
> be sure to activate them
cholesterol is the precursor for test, it's good

some will drink milk, but not eggs or fish.
Some will eat eggs and drink milk, but not fish.

UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES DO NOT
I REPEAT
DO NOT

What causes heart disease then. I've heard dietary sat fat, dietary cholesterol, serum cholesterol ldl, etc.
>>36119470
being fat and genetics
>>36119475
Except that there are huge differences in incidence studies on diet. Mediterranean diet is goat.
>>36119505
Yeah, the long term studies on diets vs. diseases are more rigorous than the studies on diets vs. biomarkers (which is one removed from the disease incidence).
I think it's silly to say, care about the particulars of saturated fat --> effects on LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. Too many variables. And cutting one thing from your diet might just cause problems elsewhere. Best to look where the optimal diets are and make it balanced.
>>36118172
Yes.
I eat 4 eggs a day like every fucking day.
>>36119439
Here's the thing, Einstein, since you love parroting greentext broscience snippets without ever exerting some effort on critical thought about them, saturated fat IS important, but if you eat a normal /fit/izen diet you are already getting plenty of saturated fats from your animal protein sources, often more than you need. You need unsaturated fats to balance them out, and that's where things like nuts come in, so when choosing nuts it's, you know, not a bad idea to pick ones that have a good ratio of unsaturated fats to give your body what it needs.
Next time remember, just because "X is good for you" does not mean "it's ok to binge on X".
>>36119635
I knew you'd have vast experience with nuts. Thanks, anon.
And yeah I get you, there's hardly anything that's really bad for you. It's mostly a full diet that is good/bad for you.
>>36119635
>>36119439
>>36119286
Thank you so typing that out so I didn't. It's amazing the kinds of mental gymnastics so many /fit/izens use to keep on doing what they want to, including taking things to the absolute extreme.

WOOOOOOAH
>>36119438
Why?
>>36119593
Not if said biomarkers have hard casual mechanistic data to back them, or if the long term outcomes have adherence probs or are based on shitty epidemiology

It's so unimportant that the less of it you eat, the better. There's no dietary need for saturated fat and your body synthesizes it when it needs to. The aim is to make your dietary intake as low as you can.
>>36120093
Implying I want low testosterone thanks to my low intake of saturated fats, yeah I think I will pass on being a low test beta faggot like yourself m8
