nice i’m 16 and 220. if you’re trying to body build don’t worry about fats and cholesterol. if you are trying to body build you want to eat a lot of protien so lots of penut butter meat and eggs. keep up the good work
Eggs are a healthy food, but you should try to limit yourself to about 2 a day. That amount of cholesterol (good or bad) is too much. If you are looking for protein, try eating cans of tuna or salmon, which contain little or no fat. You really should not be bodybuilding at your age anyway. Not to say that anyone should.
I think it all depends the style you eating the eggs.
Like are you eating them raw? ( wouldn’t suggest that)
or are they fried or boil?
oe maybe you using another recipe with it, like a salad.
Depend on these styles, it may be true that eggs may do that, but it also depend how and what you eat with them as well.
Like if you include water, and salad with the eggs. the chance of gaining fat is less likely, while you not only feel energize but also know that you ate something healthy.
If you eating it with something like fried or maybe even a omelet ( depending what type it is) your increasing the fat and cholesterol with the oil that was use to fry it in the first place, meaning it may have a hard chance to actually counter the effect it does.
So try different choices, if you know that it’s not working, cut down on the eggs, at least 3 or even 2 should be good. or a new food that may do the trick.
Cholesterol is cholesterol. Your body needs 200mg a day, and produces some it on its own. One egg is more than enough. However, there is good and bad fat. The fat in the egg is bad, meaning saturated. Fish and seed oils have the good kind. Meaning unsaturated (plant) or omega (fish).
You can get the protein you are looking for in the egg by separating the yolk from the white of the egg and consuming only the white. You can do that as much as you like. Keep in mind that once your body has reached its level of protein necessity, the rest will turn to fat just like a carbohydrate will. It’s is matter of calorie input versus output. Doesn’t matter if it is lipid, protein, fat, or carbohydrate.
To answer your question, yes and no. Remove the yolks from 4-5 of the six eggs/day you eat. Reduce the amount of cholesterol and saturated fat you intake, and replace those calories with whole grains like brown rice.
See if you can talk a Nutritionist into giving you a free consultation and have your questions ready.

It’s perfectly healthy to do if that’s what you mean.

Any food in excess is bad. Yes, it will give you needed proteins, but you should try other proteins as well, with less cholesterol.
The scientific evidence isn’t clear about how many eggs you’re “allowed” to eat and still be healthy. The recommendations change every few years.

I think eating two whole eggs and the rest just egg whites is probably a better idea.

isn’t that too much?. Maybe you should take less and balance your diet.
