People do not seem to agree on whether egg yolks are good or bad for your health. Doctors used to agree that it was making the HDL go to the roof, but now some of these doctors say it is considered as LDL...
This is getting confusing, avoid or not???
Egg Yolks...
Moderators: Boss Man, cassiegose
they're good, all the best stuff is in the yolks...if you have a prexisting cholestrol problem then be cautious but if not, go ahead and get into them

Yolks contain Lutein and fat soluable vitamins.
Yolks do have roughly 60 / 40 ratio of LDL to HDL.
Don't be mislead by Doctors saying LDL is bad. LDL is only bad when it goes above 100 mg per litre of blood. Without LDL transporting Cholesterol to needed areas, you would die
HDL can be just as much of an issue if it drops below 40 mg/l, Total of 200+ mg/l being a problem too.
Some Eggs however can result from giving Chickens Flax. Flax contains Alpha Linolenic Acid, an Omega 3 Monunsaturate that converts in the body to EPA and DHA, the Fish Fats.
They contain about the same protein content, 0.5g less fat, and 1g Carbs.
So not all Eggs are created equal.
I would suggest if you have Eggs, limit yourself to one yolk, as the calories could be bumped up significantly if you ate multiple Eggs in one sitting, with other stuff too, because Fats are 9 calories per gram, particularly if the ones you eat are Cholesterol carriers, as some say dietry Cholesterol has no significant impact on Blood Cholesterol, but I would heed caution all the same.

At last annual check up 1 year ago, doctor said I should be careful with diet, because LDL level was slightly above average.
Since then, I changed diet, which was not bad at all, and managed to loose 15 pounds. I am going back for another annual checkup in a month and I can't wait to hear the results.
I eat 3 hard boiled eggs on average per day, and I will try to limit intake to only 1 yolk.
Many thanks,

Best way to do that is to scramble them.
The other ways to moderate a Cholesterol problem diet, if you're not doing so already are the following.
Flax, Omega Eggs, Soy, Avodaco, Nuts, Oils, Seeds and Peanuts.
With Peanuts, if your concerned about Aflatoxins and mould, buy Western grown. The Aflatoxin issues affect Asian grown more, because of the less stringent processing and storage conditions.

Potentially, but it's very hard to do that, unless you have one regular poached and then 2-3 poached whites.
Plus scrambling makes it easier to cook Eggs, less prep time, and less time spent cooking, plus you need water to poach, and the longer cooking time, increases gas or electricity use, so poaching would bump up the persons utility bills, compared to scrambling.
Not against poaching though, just saying.

Re: Egg Yolks...
Speaking of eggs..
I have a problem eating them sometimes. It tends to be when they are undercooked. I'm not sure why, but I throw up after eating them. It is very much a crap shoot. I wonder why...
I wish I could eat them with no problems ever. They are so beneficial to a bodybuilder's diet.
Cheers,
Darren
