I don't really eat the same thing everyday but when I eat eggs it's typically 3.
Didn't say it was bad. Said I didn't need it.I understand your point about the mistreatment of animals, but the bolded needs to go away so hard. Far too many people still think that dietary cholesterol is bad for you.

To understand high blood cholesterol (ko-LES-ter-ol), it helps to learn about cholesterol. Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance thats found in all cells of the body.
Your body needs some cholesterol to make hormones, vitamin D, and substances that help you digest foods. Your body makes all the cholesterol it needs. However, cholesterol also is found in some of the foods you eat.
Cholesterol travels through your bloodstream in small packages called lipoproteins (lip-o-PRO-teens). These packages are made of fat (lipid) on the inside and proteins on the outside.
Two kinds of lipoproteins carry cholesterol throughout your body: low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Having healthy levels of both types of lipoproteins is important.
LDL cholesterol sometimes is called bad cholesterol. A high LDL level leads to a buildup of cholesterol in your arteries. (Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood from your heart to your body.)
HDL cholesterol sometimes is called good cholesterol. This is because it carries cholesterol from other parts of your body back to your liver. Your liver removes the cholesterol from your body.
Eggs are a complete protein and have everything you need in a diet, amino acids included. Much better to have a real food than a protein powder, although I do have protein shakes sporadically throughout the week as a supplement.
Isn't that reversed?
This is old, outdated "information". Saturated fat does not clog arteries.
Keep up scrubs.
What's the deal with eggs and choloesterol?
I had no idea it could be healthy to eat so many eggs! I usually eat just 3 per week but after reading this thread I'd love to eat way more of them
