Just a reminder, dont eat whole eggs

I hate to inform you, but you are wrong.

Your cholesterol went up due to the satuarted fat in eggs, not from the cholesterol.

What makes my bad cholesterol levels go up?
The main cause of high blood cholesterol is eating too much fat, especially saturated fat. Saturated fats are found in animal products, such as meats, milk and other dairy products that are not fat free, butter, and eggs. Some of these foods are also high in cholesterol. Fried fast foods and snack foods often have a lot of fat.

I guess you were right. Still, my point was, skip the yellow stuff.

I read a study a couple years ago about an old man who ate two dozen eggs per day for years. When he had his bloodwork done, his cholesterol levels were just fine. Ask any educated dietician, dietary cholesterol is NOT bad for you.

OMG

I can't afford to waste good protein on a silly myth.

look at:

http://www.ergogenics.org/dioxine.html

In short it says that eggs do not significantly deteriorate the blood lipid profile, but eating eggs still increases your chance of dying. This is probably due to toxins in the egg yolk like dioxine, PCB's etc.

mix and match. I eat a whole egg for every 3 whites.. My cholesterol has always been normal. I am sure that if u downed them in huge amounts it could have some bearing on your cholesterol but in moderation I believe you should be fine.

All I'll say on this is what I know from medical studies and pharmacy school... high cholesterol is predominantly hereditary, not dietary. I've seen several patients come in with lipid levels in the 600's, and even with diet and exercise they don't drop below 400... it takes heavy medications to even get them down to 250-300. Then there are people like my brother, who drink whole milk, eats butter literally by the stick, and weighs 115lbs with cholesterol of about 130. Sure, eggs are bad IF you already have a problem, but if you aren't predisposed to high cholesterol, eggs in moderation, like almost anything else, are beneficial.

I agree and disagree with you. Yes, hyperlipidemia is primarily genetic, however if you take any individual and start adding an excess of ANYTHING it will result in a response from the body. Sometimes the body compensates...sometimes it doesn't...genetics suck.
Now, eating a few egg yolks is not going to kill anyone. However, once again, an excess of anything is generally bad.
In some individuals, AAS actually reduce the blood lipid profile, while in others it raises it. My point is that everyone is different and this is testament, once again, that each and every individual, especially those on AAS, need to see a physician regularly. Pre-cycle, intra-cycle and post-cycle. If you are scared to talk to your Doc about it...find a new doc.

Simple carbs = increased triglycerides
Saturated fats = increased total cholesterol and LDL
Omega3,6,9 = increased HDL (good "cholesterol")

Ok, 2 table spoons of peanut butter contain 2.5g of saturated fat, and the rest is 10g. The rest is unsaturated and good or what?

How diet affects blood cholesterol
Only about 20% of cholesterol comes directly from the diet - the other 80% is produced by the liver. However, a diet high in saturated fats and cholesterol can cause the liver to produce more LDL ("bad") cholesterol.
