Low Carb Nation
6 Meals A Day (low carb diets)- Part 3 (Eggs & More Eggs?)?
Part 3 (for part 1 & 2 see my questions under my profile name Thank you):
I have read that a obesity and fat is due to a high carbohydrate diet, and by reducing carbs we can all burn fats (makes sense).
Therefore trying to plan meals is a challenge, especially knowing the various types of protein to eat etc. The most obvious are eggs. I live in the UK so dont know if all eggs are created equally (as so to say) in other nations as here we had a salmonella fiasco a decade or so ago.
My question however is this: How many medium sized hen eggs can a person (male in my case, female for others) eat per week? And as per these low carb diets that advocate that carbs are for energy then surely the amount of eggs we eat per week shouldnt matter as its all protein, isnt it?
Thank you x
Eggs are extremely healthy, loaded with protein, low in carbs. The concern, however, is cholesterol. Each egg has nearly a days worth of cholesterol. Research has shown that the average adult can eat 1-2 eggs without a significant effect on health, but I would not recommend going higher than that for too many days in a row. The good news is that the cholesterol is found entirely in the yolk, so if you like egg whites, eat up! They are straight protein, and are cholesterol and fat free. Less than 20 calories apiece. I would say, maybe have one or two whole eggs a day, and then another few egg whites (cooked just as you would cook whole eggs). It would be pretty hard to overdo it on these. Good luck! Enjoy those eggs!
