Eggs???

scottswald · 23-12-2007, 07:07 PM

Just wondering on what your opinion on eggs is, such as the maximum amount per day, seperating yolks from whites and eating raw/cooking them.

razg · 24-12-2007, 12:00 AM

Eat as many as you wish, subject to the fat/calories. Yolk doesn't need to be cooked, white does.

I wouldn't eat too many, whenever I overdose on eggs, I suffer with constipation. I personally wouldnt eat more than 3-4 a day. Not sure about the science bit, just the affect too many eggs has on my bowel movement =)

its one of your best sources of protein sources as it has all the amino's

so load up on them!

ive known people to eat about 40-50 egg whites a day!

40-50 a day wow!!
The most i used to have was 12 whites in the morning and 12 before bed,its a quick and easy protein meal mate,not to sure about having them raw though..

Whole eggs are probably the best protein source agreed.

Egg whites are not so good however!! Mediocre at best

im same as nath... they send my tum loopy - if you can handle them then eat as many as you want!

should ALWAYS be cooked - raw eggs are an old wives tale!

if i have eggs id normally have 2 yolks and 6 whites.

even one egg in me shakes has me sh1tting thru the eye of a needle lol.
great if you can handle them tho.
(they do taste a bit rank if ya cook em and blend them up in a shake lol)

thanks for the feedback guys, i probably usually have about five and it doesn't mess up my stomach at all, i was thinking of upping this number to 12 throughout the day but dont know how many of the yolks to have (since im after bulking up, i was wondering wether i could get away with just getting rid of 6 of the yolks)

Yolk has all the good stuff in it!!!! So eat a few of them! Back in the days when there wasn't whey shakes bodybuilders used to eat plenty of eggs!

if you were to say have 6 egg whites and 2 whole you would get 25-28g of protein.

so perhaps do that twice a day, you even get some unsaturated fats in there which are good for ya.
