Alright, after reading several posts, I have a question.

Eggs, the incredible and very edible, egg. My Dr. said we shouldn't be eating eggs daily. Maybe twice a week w/ two strips of turkey bacon, would be my cutoff. I see on other posts, when some are giving their daily intake, eggs and turkey bacon seem to be a daily thing. Also, oatmeal, many people will have that for breakfast and I've become deathly afraid of it, due to the carbs. My Dr. said the same thing, he said oatmeal would be something he's okay w/ me eating.

What's going on here, did I miss something?

I'm really glad you've found the way that works for you@apple1 I was just going by the fact that you basically said you wouldn't recommend daily eggs to anyone. I can't find the post where I got the poison from, so I take that back.

I just think it's best to avoid generalizations and giving advice. I try to just present information, but perhaps my tone needs to change I will work on that.

I eat eggs at least five days a week (I have hens as well so they are perhaps healthier eggs than many) and my cholesterol ratio is perfect. So my study with a population of one bears out my personal use of eggs. I suggest others try the same, if they so desire.

I read the Protein a holic thread and really enjoy learning from what you post.

It was a good debate, no worries.

I believe I may be one of the unlucky ones because I have had problems with my cholesterol for a few years now. A low carb diet did not help. I am hoping for much improved numbers when I get my next labs.

I am confused, going through this thread. Is the arguing about eggs? Or something else? I have not got to the end yet, but are people saying eggs are bad, or are they fine?

It was about whether a person should eat eggs everyday. There were arguments made for not eating them and for eating them. You can read the information and decide for yourself what would be good for you.

Yes eggs and then some about animal products in general. Arguments both ways.

I chuckled when I saw this, something must be trying to push us to LOVE eggs. lol

@heycrystal2052 Please allow me to jack another one of your threads! *snort* TY! I don't know why I'm super nerv? The nurse called yesterday to ask me some questions about the fluid around my heart thing...the anesthesiologist wasn't "feelin' it" and needed reassuring. I found out there would be fentanyl involved since I'm allergic to benzos...is that ever a bad thing? ROFLMAO? Said no one EVER! I'm about to go get ready now. I have another appointment before the EGD to see the pysical medicine doc. Hopefully will see ya'll tonight!
