I am in discussing with someone who says eating eggs each day is the worst thing you can do. But I allways cook my eggs and I remove all the yellow stuff inside. So all I eat of an egg is the white stuff.

Is it bad if I eat 3 eggs this way each day??? I cannot find any good sites that explain this, so I am hoping someone here knows about this.

Thnx in advance,

Eggs are a great source of protein with low carbs and light on the cals and if you stick with the whites no fat. Three a day should be no problem remember though leave the yokes out I dont eat eggs every day but when I do I eat 8 to 10 whites only. So tell your friend you are not hurting your self

I eat 4-6 egg whites a day and I am fine (no feahters growing yet) Really it is the yolks that do you in...though I do add 1-3 yolks a week for taste

unless you have an allergy to them, there is no way you can eat too many eggs a day! i used to do a dozen egg whites just for breakfast alone every day! and they have gotten a realy bad rap re: their cholesterol. turns out, in moderation, their yokes really dont have a net impact on your bad cholesterol levels, and may actually help the good cholesterol.

If I didn't eat egg whites then I wouldn't get enough daily proteins......

I eat 10-15 daily.

You definitely need to cook the whites but it has actually been proven that eating the yolks raw gives you a better absorbtion. Hmmmmm I still don't want to do it thou!! (o;

I personally eat 15 eggwhites per day! Especially on a comp diet. They are probably the highest p.e.r. rated protein source there is. They also have the perfect amino acid profile. They will help turn any other protein source into a much better one...

fat loss, muscle tone, mass?
should you still be eating alot of protein even when you are just focusing on toning?

But I still need my proteins otherwise I would loose muscles. I'm preparing for my competition in Nov so right now my protein intake is around 200 gr daily!! (lots of egg whites there!! lol)

Tiffany, take a look under abcbodybuilding.com, go to the work out journals and you'll find me writing down everything about my diet, training etc
