Eggs

So is it a bad idea to have more than 1 egg every day or is that just an old wives tale?

Complete old wives tale dating back to the days when they thought dietary cholesterol increased serum cholesterol, every study since has shown otherwise.

Eggs are as close as you can get to a perfect food, cheap, tasty, easy to cook and packed with vitamins.

I sometimes have more than four a day and I've never felt better.

it depends, are you trying to lose or gain weight or just maintain good health?

Nothing wrong with more than one egg a day sometimes but there are handreds and thousands of different foods you could be eating so IMO eating that many eggs might get a bit boring?

There have been a few recent studies where people were given three eggs a day, and the egg eaters lost more weight then the control group and without any problems with cholesterol. In fact, eating eggs seems to normalise the HDL to LDL ratio.

Eggs are never boring - poached, omlette, scrambled, boiled, boiled in salad, boiled in sandwich!!!!

The posibility are endless, eggs are cheap, filling, satisifying and very versatile!!!!

Well, according to me egg is something which was preferred for breakfast world widely and its up to you whether you want to have it with oil/butter. We can have it with out any fat, as much i know egg don't have fat. It is just a myth, many times i have more then 4 eggs in a day in different forms.

Eggs do have fat. I've no idea why you think they don't.
But we need fat in our diet
