Yeah, ive always eaten eggs. Like at least 6 per day, whole as well.

My last cholesterol reading was 4.8 (Jan 04) (33 years old)

Most of the fat is mono-unsaturated. The yolks contain all the vits you want too.

Its rubbish to link dietary intake of cholesterol from eggs with someones serum cholesterol levels. The ones with health problems probably eat them with double sausage, bacon, fried slice and stuff and havent so much as walked anywhere in years.....

but its true that the recommended daily cholesterol intake you should have is 300mgs, and 1 egg contains 200mgs ! its worrying me a bit...... i eat about 4 day and have done for a couple of years, although 2 years ago my cholesterol was ridiculously low (under 4......)

might get myself tested tho. i'm looking for health in the long term not just to be a meathead, i find that ridiculous.

To keep serum cholesterol under control its best to obtain a ratio of at least 1:1 sat/unsat fatty acids in the diet. Its all about the other foods you eat as well as a lot of eggs.

I eat tons, always have done. I also consume tons of mackerel, trout, salmon and olive oil though.

Don't forget that the body naturally produces a certain amount of cholesterol per day, and if your dietary intake is high the body will reduce its output to compensate. The human body is a very smart engine.

I eat plenty of eggs and oily fish and the last time I my cholesterol tested my cholesterol was low. (below 3mmol).

If you are healthy and active you shouldn't really worry about your cholesterol levels. Exceptions to the rule are if your family has a history of high cholesterol, or if you are taking steroids/PH as they raise HDL (bad) cholesterol levels.

Typo on the above message, LDL (low-density-lipoproteins) are the bad form of cholesterol.
