Eggs are good right?

For this reason, the egg is classified with meat in the food categories. One egg = 1 ounce of lean meat, fish or poultry." I had no idea ONE large egg contained up to 6 grams of protein. I make scrambled eggs in the morning with 3-4 eggs and eat it with 2 slices of toast and some lean meat to go along with my protein drink. I never even thought of looking at the nutrition facts on the egg box so i guess i can add about 18-24 extra grams of protein in per day i never counted...... by the way i eat the whole egg not just the whites or the yolk cause im trying to bulk up

Dietary cholesterol does not play as big a part in cholesterol as percieved. ============ Quoting from carivan: The egg yolk contains the richest source of choline, and biotin one of the B-complex vitamins. ============= -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

Serum cholesterol will have minimal if any affect by this. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
