Five fried eggs?

[Globalti]

Met a German doctor yesterday, looking as fit as a butcher's dog, who was tucking into a plate of FIVE fried eggs with bacon and mushrooms. Seeing my interest (I love eggs but five....?) he explained that most medical research being the bollocks that it is, shaped with statistical half-truths to fit the researcher's agenda, the current belief has come full circle and is now that eggs don't kill you with high cholesterol and in fact the new evil is carbohydrates.

What do we all think about this?

Surely the body can only process and absorb so much protein? Or is the benefit mostly from the fats in the yolks? Would you do just as well to go home and eat a good steak?

*heads off to raid Mrs Gti's supply of eggs for baking cakes and makes metal note to replace them before the next baking session*

It would certainly cut out the need for carrying baby wipes on a ride!

Dunno, but I have 2 fried eggs for Brekkie every morning ....

Is that before or after eating the porridge.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MrGrumpy]

porridge everyday for me with fruit and low carbs all week to be honest, but following the wifes SW healthy eating plan. In general we have been eating too many carbs such as bread,pasta and potatoes so cutting back and eggs get scoffed by the bucket load in this house!

If it works for him then good on him.

I eat scrambled eggs regularly made with 5-6 eggs a time.

 

[Hill Wimp]

I have 3 scrambled eggs for breakfast every day during the week.

I didn't used to eat breakfast but i feel better for it though probably because i get up at silly o'clock everyday.

 

[numbnuts]

I've never eaten more than two eggs at a time

Technically, the fat and protein content(and residual fat from frying) of 5 eggs would be plenty to aid satiety, full for longer effect with slower breakdown. Kind of like low GI carbs there's a steady release.

Nicer scrambled(and family farm fresh) with grated cheese and some sort of animal thrown in

 

[welsh dragon]

I use 4 eggs (not fried though) to make ice cream. I love eggs.

Now your talking..

The good doctor is right. The new thinking is HFLC (High Fat Low Carbs). Note, not high protein, but high fat. Dr Atkins has been vilified but it will take years for the food pyramid to be debunked as nonsense.

I recently started a similar thread.

I eat around 20 a week. By chance, I read some article that said one a day was the recommended limit, but there's no science that I can find that backs that up. The research has debunked the cholesterol myth, and I can find no mention of a limit proposed, BUT nonetheless there is this 'one a day' thing.

Oh, and it's chickens that get egg bound not humans!
