No offense intended, but eating that many each and every day must have you farting like a choo choo train.
Of course you may have the digestive capacity of a grizzle bear.

There is a massive difference between whole eggs and just egg whites. You can take as many egg whites as you can stomach but I would strongly advise anybody from eating whole eggs every day. Very high in cholesterol.

The cholestrol makes it prohibitive, alexxx.

Just buy cartons of eggwhites and eat those instead.

Throw in a couple eggs, but not more than that.

I eat 8-10 eggs every morning.  Two of them are whole eggs, the rest are whites.

The cholestrol count in the yolk is high and idealy you should have one yolk to 4 eggwhites, remembering there is around 3-4 grms of protein per medium sized egg white and 5 grms apx of fat if you include the yolk. It is also important to note that it is more productive digestion wise if you cook the egg white to a soft/solid state prior to digestion as the body has trouble digesting the raw form (hence the gastrol problems alot suffer) I myself would rather use a good whey protein as it has a much higher BFO (bilogical value of order, digestablity !) than the egg white , eggwhites score around 88 pionts on the BFO scale whilst a good whey protein can score up to 150 odd pionts , and has a better amino profile !!!

Actualy No I dont , do you ???? 2463% is a very precise percentage to be measuring to , something that would be unabel to be achived due to the nature of the testing procedure, the testing procedure can only produce aproximate percentages !!! that is unless they are doing there own testing if you know what I mean !!!

Idealy a good creatine (either phansteil or creapure manufactured creatine) and a dextrose sugar mix is all one realy needs to get good results !!!

What's important is how your body metabolizes the cholesterol (and everyone is different in that regard) taken in and not necessarily how much is consumed.  There were studies done on this issue, I'll try to dig it up.

If you eat them consistently you won't have that problem and if you do, you're missing the right enzymes.  After about a week the gas should be gone, if not eat some digestive/papaya enzymes/ginger root etc. that they have available with your eggs and it won't be issue.

Mirzy brings the pain.

While some of you disagree with his delivery, he is actually quite right.

Food is more important, overall, and supplements are there to "supplement" the diet.  Not take the place of whole food.

Living on eggwhites is no better than living on supplements. If that is the only choice, it's a matter of taste so to speak. No practical difference.

Vince Gironda had some solid advice: 36 whole eggs per day, 1 pound of red meat, lots of cream etc.

Really, the cholesterol in eggs is not a big concern. If I didn't have problems eating I'd probably eat a dozen a day. BEST source of protein IMO and IME.

If you do, you are very ignorant and foolish to ignore LDL complications.

There is more to cholesterol problems than dietary cholesterol (things like insulin resistance from refined carbs etc). Eggs also contain choline and other substances that help lower cholesterol. You need to educate yourself DIVNUGGA  ;D

This is correct.  The plasma cholesterol level in the vast majority of humans peaks (and then plateaus) at a dietary intake around 300 mgs (one egg).  Further dietary intake does not raise plasma levels any further.  If anyone is concerned that they are in the minority of the "hyper-responders" just have your LDL checked.

Egg whites alone have a very unbalanced amino acid profile and thus a less than optimal tissue utilization potential (sub par "corrected amino acid score")

Because of their colloidal nature egg whites have the least efficient absorption profile of any quality protein source.

I might eat 2 whole eggs a day, the rest whites. I once regularily ate 8 whole eggs in a shake for breakfast each morning but later realised there was more to life. 2-3 a day should be okay. Your overall fat and cho intake and not simply dietary cholesterol influences your blood cholesterol and some are lucky and can be be fat with low cholest while others with good diet can have genetically bad blood values. Egg whites are not that tasty anyway. Eat plenty of lean meat, chichen, fish and whey. Whatever you can afford and don't forget plenty of complex carbs and fruit and veg. :)

It's the same thing with BV.  I never herd of the O, but when it started whole egg was rated 100, meaning the highest BV known to man.  When whey protein isolate was invented it surpassed whole eggs so the BV rating given to the best isolates was 157.  It only makes sense if you know the science behind it as 100% should be as high as you can go.  Even scientists argue over the rating of a food over 100, but the supplement company's who sell whey isolate sure hopped on the figure, I wonder why?

1 large egg has 72% of recommended cholesterol.

I am sure Arnold ate at least 12 whole eggs a day, do you think that is why he had the hart problems?

Also whats worse 12 whole eggs a day or 2 cans of tuna yellowfin a day. I have been eating tuna everyday for the past 3 years or so..

Well, I also used to eat raw eggs every day when I was a young gym rat, but it doesnt make any sense. I mixed them (largely egg whites) in orange juice and concluded that "this shit is good for muscle gains and fat loss" because its very low in fat  ::) However, I later realized that high-glycemic carb is THE real enemy, NOT dietary fat.

The egg and cholesterol story is an urban myth, atleast almost.

There is only small percentage of people who can't handle to much cholesterol. But that's not only ment for eggs. These kind of people also have to watch out the use of other food containing cholesterol.
Ordinary people can almost eat as much eggs as they want,
but to much of the same stuff is always bad. If water can kill you if you drink to much of it.

 5 whole eggs every other day. Why you ask eod? Varied. A shake here and there is good, sometimes i have just oatmeal and a shake later [about 30 minute after].

But yeah 5 whole eggs yolk and all.
