Is it bad to have eggs every day?

Asked by rkadir11 (35points) December 3rd, 2010

A couple of things first. Ever since I heard it was bad to have eggs everyday because of the amount of LDL cholesterol, I stopped having whole eggs everyday (which include yolk), and so instead, this is what I do… I have 2 WHOLE eggs every OTHER day, and then 3 white-only eggs (no yolk) for the rest of the days, so I switch off.

And so first of all I want to know if it’s bad to have 2 whole eggs with the yolk (which contains the cholesterol) everyday…

and second of all, I want to know if it is bad to have 2 whole eggs every day…

then I want to know if it is bad to do what I’m doing at the moment, which is swithing off- having 2 whole eggs one day and then 3 all-white (no yolk) eggs on the other days..

Also take note that my mother (they say mom knows everything lol) said that it’s just bad to have the SAME THING everyday regardless but I beg to differ because eggs are good for you!! and I know there are kids in other countries who only have rice and beans for every meal but their life spans are also cut short by 10 or more years…

and by the way I am a 19 year old boy, I weigh 136 and am 5 7’ if that matters. In good shape I would say, and I work out every day. Cardio and weights. Also, I have no soda or junk food whatsoever, nor fast food, I only have water water water all day with normal types of meals like rice, some vegetables, a lot of meat, sandwitches, and more.

All inputs are greatly appreciated!! thank you !
