Are eggs good for you? lol

I know u need fat but lets just say 3 eggs is about 20 grams of fat right there and to me that sounds crazy... -------------- Tiffany Der #10 "You have to make it through the rain in order to see the Rainbow........."

We usually associate the word fat with margarine and bacon, and thats why we all try to eat less of each. But our bodies need a certain degree of it to survive, and eggs are a good source. The fat found in egss is part of the Omega 3 6 9 complex. Most people don't get enough of it. If you're eating eggs, you shouldn't be worried about the fat, you should be worried about the Cholesterol.

I'm working my way through the Atkins eating plan, which initially eliminates a deal of carbohydrate foodstuffs...not all though. I currently eat three eggs (yolks and all) a day seven days a week,either as a cheese omlette or fried in butter and have excellent cholestrol counts, great blood sugar and the rest.

If you're trying to tone, you need muscle to tone up, so a good recommendation since it was a female who posted this would be 3-4 egg whites per day and one yolk. Guys should take in 5-6 egg whites per day and one yolk. Thats my two cents. -------------- If I could give one piece of advice, it would be you\\'re only on loan in this world, take advantage of the time in which you are here, tomorrow it may be time to go home and meet your Creator\\"
