Useful Information on Eggs

[Gavin LeFever]

i fry 4 eggs in a pan every morning with a side of random veggies.

yup.

extremely cheap protein and fat source.

Just to update this FAQ thread with the cholesterol/lecithin explanation:

I'm going to bed early just so I can make an omelet early tomorrow morning. Nice article.

I pretty much always get my egg whites from those egg white cartons. Much easier, and convenient.

I was wondering why anyone would take the time to seperate the yolks when they could just do that. I buy them too, they save alot of time and effort.

What do they cost in relation to regular eggs?

bit late but that is really annoying


I've been using 2 egg yolks in my morning shakes



I've bought 5 dozen eggs because i thought why not from costco. I have 2 weeks until the sell by date is past.


Lets see how it goes (it averages to about 4 eggs a day)

Another study on eggs and lipids:

Habitual consumption of eggs does not alter the beneficial effects of endurance training on plasma lipids and lipoprotein ****bolism in untrained men and women.

Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269, USA.

Changes in plasma lipid and apolipoprotein profiles were evaluated in 12 healthy, unfit subjects (VO(2peak) 39.1+/-2.8 ml.kg(-1).min(-1); 5 women, 7 men) at baseline and following endurance exercise training. The exercise protocol consisted of a 6-week endurance exercise training program (4-5 days week(-1); 60 min.session(-1); >/=65% HR(max)). Subjects were randomly assigned to consume an egg- (n=6; 12 eggs.week(-1)) or no-egg (n=6; 0 eggs.week(-1))-based, eucaloric, standardized diet for 8 weeks. Both diets were macronutrient balanced [60% carbohydrate, 30% fat, 10% protein (0.8 g.kg(-1).day(-1))] and individually designed for weight maintenance. Plasma lipids were measured twice within the same week at baseline and following exercise training. At baseline, subjects were normolipidemic with values of 163.9+/-41.8, 84.8+/-36.7, 60.6+/-15.4 and 93.1+/-52 mg dl(-1) for total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, respectively. A two-way ANOVA was used to analyze diet and exercise effects and interactions. In both groups, endurance exercise training resulted in a significant 10% increase in HDL-C (P<.05), a 19% decrease in Apo B concentrations (P<.05) and reductions in plasma CETP activity (P<.05). Plasma LDL-C decreased by 21% (P=.06). No main effects of diet or interactions with plasma lipids or Apo B concentrations were observed. These data demonstrate that endurance training improved the plasma lipid profiles of previously unfit, normolipidemic subjects independent of dietary cholesterol intake from eggs.

Thats the gist of it, right there at the end.
