An egg a day!

[Somethingsnappy]

Can someone please tell me if having an egg a day is good for health? I read such contrasting reports. The advice seems to change on a weekly basis!

I don’t know but I have one almost every day for breakfast.

Depends how you cook them and what you have them with I suppose.

It’s fine as long as your not frying in them in masses of oil or they don’t cause you constipation.

Why wouldn't it be?
Good source of hbv protein, iron,vitamin A and low calorie.
Where are you reading the reports?

Why wouldn't it be? Good source of hbv protein, iron,vitamin A and low calorie. Where are you reading the reports?

I read so many different opinions, I can barely remember where I've seen them. I think the main thing that comes out of them, is that experts seem to disagree on the cholesterol side of things and whether we absorb it or not.

They used to say the yolks were high in cholesterol. Now they say that it's the good type of cholesterol!

I think good quality eggs from chickens that have a good life/diet are probably good for you. But everything in moderation.

Thank you! I love them, so good to hear.

There was official guidance saying limit to 2 (?) pw a few years, actually probably decades now, back because of cholesterol but that's been debunked now and they're considered a good healthy source of protein

There is no limited on eggs unless you've been advised to limit them by a gp.

Limits on*

Yes it's good protein

It's now very outdated advice that too many eggs are bad for you so crack on

Thank you very much everyone! I'm glad I posted .
