Ive been eating a lot of eggs recently?

Question

Ive have been eating fried eggs on toast everyday for breakfast now for the last week. I know eggs are an excellent source of protein, and that too many eggs isnt good for you. Ive noticed i have more energy and that im becoming a little bit more solid in build. I have an active lifestyle, lots of walking and running around. My question is, is this ok to eat so many eggs, and is it really making a difference to my activeness or am i just imagining it????

Answer 1

My friend,

Let me give you a small tip here. Eggs are a wonderful source of proteins and albumin. If your system is accepting a lot of eggs that is fine, and yes the solid feeling is fromthe protein part of the egg as it is helping you a lot with muscle building and repair. And your activeness is thanks to the yolk as it is rich in carbs, so you are getting a lot of energy out of it.

As you said you have an active lifestyle, your eating more eggs is fine, but decide what you need to do, if you feel you have enough fat in your body and need only proteins, it would be better to avoid the yolk, else if you feel fine with the yolk be sure you expel those extra calories put into your body by the yolk.

And my friend you are imagining nothing, youare doing well, but just be a bit careful on what you need and how much you need.

All the best. Hope my suggestion helps you

You've been reading the Mr Men book Mr Strong haven't you ?.
In that book Mr Strong gets all his strength from eating piles of eggs.
Eggs are full of protein and do give benefits if you are bodybuilding or trying to increase muscle volume, as protein aids this process.
The trouble with eggs is that they contain a lot of cholesterol so you have to be careful not to eat too many. Also, if you're eating the eggs fried, you're increasing your fat intake, which isn't great.
Poached eggs or scrambled are a much healthier option than fried eggs.
I don't suppose it's too bad if you're active and healthy, but don't eat too many, because of the cholesterol thing. Also, you may find your a**e becomes offensive, as your farts will stink really eggy.

Eggs are known to be high in cholesterol. See the link below for levels of cholesterol in eggs, and compare with what the body actually needs.

However, most of the egg's cholesterol and fat is contained in the yolk. For that reason, eating egg whites is understood to be a healthier compromise if you need the protein but are worried about fat content and cholesterol. So instead of using 4 whole eggs in your omelette, try 2 whole eggs and 3 egg whites - the omelette will look paler, but it's still good stuff.

Beware though that you don't necessarily need that much protein unless you are actively seeking to gain muscle mass.

Answer 4

this is still very much a moot point.. but in the last year or there has been a large swing in opinion about eating eggs and it is encouraged alot more.. especially for breakfast.. research has shown eating eggs for breakfast inscreases the metabolism (which would enable you to be more active) and at the same time leaves less hungry during the day. Anyway the "current" idea is that it's fine.

Answer 5

Ok well eggs are high in protein but fried eggs are high in fat and this would higher your cholestrol. Try eating boiled eggs 3 times a week and see how that fares out for you. Everything is good in moderation.

Answer 6

Eggs are special cells found in female animals. Nearly all animals produce eggs. Some animals lay eggs outside their body. For example, birds lay oval, hard-shelled eggs.

Harder - Oology is the study of eggs. Many animals lay eggs in water, on leaves, or in nests. These eggs have a covering that protects the developing creature. Turtles, lizards, birds, fish, reptiles, dinosaurs, insects, and some mammals lay eggs. Inside of an egg shell is a yolk, embryo, albumen (white), and membranes. The contents of the egg is used as food for the developing embryo.

The eggs we eat are not fertilized. In other words, no baby chick is being formed in the egg. What remains are nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. People have collected and eaten eggs for thousands of years. Most of the eggs people eat now come from domesticated birds such as chickens. Eggs come in different sizes, colors, and grades. People in countries all over the world eat eggs.

Answer 7

It is not OK, unless you eat just the egg white.

The egg white has all the protein, the yellow has all the cholesteral.

And eating it fried may taste good, but you heart and arteries will pay the price since the egg is cooked in buttery fat & oils.

Answer 8

A regular eating plan will make a difference to your energy levels, so, no you are not imagining it.

Two things though, try poached eggs instead of fried, and limit your intake to 5 a week.

dear friend....
its natures rule of balance
if u balance and control everything u do or eat then there should not be a problem for u.... but if u take anything for instance eggs in extra quanitity.... u ll have problems.... like...

Excessive protein consumption may be associated with health risks. Kidney function can be compromised by too much protein in older people and in patients with kidney disease; also, a high protein intake may adversely affect calcium balance and contribute to mineral loss from bone. The Office of Population Censuses and Surveys 1990 survey of British adults [3] showed that average protein intakes are 84g/day for men and 64g/day for women which are higher than recommended,

Different types of dietary protein may have differing effects on cholesterol and fats in the bloodstream. Greater hormonal responses resulted in a meal derived from casein (milk) than from soya beans. This suggests that milk protein leads to higher levels of cholesterol and fats in the blood. These, in turn, are risk factors for coronary heart disease.

A survey of 620 women in Singapore revealed that, among pre-menopausal women, those who regularly ate soya protein and soya products in general had about half the normal risk of developing breast cancer. In contrast, the consumption of red meat and animal protein was linked with an increased risk of breast cancer in pre-menopausal women.

Diets rich in meat protein lead to more uric acid in the urine, and a general increase in urine acidity. because of the acidity, the uric acid does not easily dissolve and can form into kidney stones.
