how many eggs a day,Are eggs good for you ?

Well the most commonly asked question by the people who either go to the gym or even want to live a healthy lifestyle,that how many eggs they would needing to eat in a day either gain muscle or just to maintain a healthy physique and do these eggs have any side effects?So keep reading this article and you will find your answer.

First of all the amount of protein intake depends upon our fitness goals and further upon our diet.Whether your goal is to build muscles or fat loss protein intake is a must and eggs are a pretty good source of protein.Moreover if you are person who does not eat chicken,fish or meat and also cannot afford protein then i think eggs are the only lone warriors for you to fuel up your daily protein requirement.

Now the question arises that how many eggs whites or whole eggs(including yolk) we can actually eat in a day and how many times.

An whole egg in particular contains 6 grams of protein while approx 4g of that being in the egg white and and 2g in the egg yolk.

In a particular serving we can eat about 5-6 egg whites (if you are beginner or in intermediate level) and 10-12 egg whites (for people at advanced level and having 10-15 years experience in gym) and we can have 3 such servings a day.So we can eat between 20-30 eggs in a day.This has no side effect on our body.

NOTE THAT we should always include around 2-3 whole eggs in our diet in day because the yolk has more benefits than egg whites.  

Myth about eggs is that eating whole egg can raise your cholesterol level which will effect your health adversely.Now this is all due to lack of proper knowledge amongst people.This is not the truth.

ALL ABOUT EGG YOLKS -  Now we all must have heard that eating the yellow part of the egg would cause us cholesterol problem or it will store saturated fat in our body and it also contains high calories which would effect our fat loss goal.Guy's we all must know that the egg yolk actually contains more nutrition than the egg white and when we throw the yolk we are just left with high protein but no nutrition at all so eating egg yolk can actually make us healthy.So first we need to  know what is the right amount of whole eggs we need to take in a day and what are its benefits.



WHAT YOLK ACTUALLY DOES-

First we need to know these two terms HDL(high density lipoproteins) which carry good cholesterol and LDL(low density lipoproteins)which carry bad cholesterol and eating egg yolk actually increases our HDL level which provides us good cholesterol that actually supports hormones growth such as adrenal hormones. 

Now an average egg contains around 300 mg of cholesterol and our body itself produces 2000 mg of cholesterol,so if cholesterol is bad for our body then why would it be producing cholesterol.When we externally supply cholesterol to our body,our body gradually decreases the production of cholesterol in it to balance the cholesterol level.

The good cholesterol provided by the yolk also acts as a natural healer in our body,So if we get a wound on our body it actually helps in healing it.

So it was not a too detailed explanation about good and bad cholesterol but it was just enough to give you a hint that how nutrition rich is the egg yolk and we should not neglect it in our daily diet.If you are a normal person living a healthy lifestyle you should definitely eat at least 2-3 whole eggs in your diet daily.But if you are suffering from any disease like diabetes then you can consult you doctor. 

And when someone in near future tells you that cholesterol is bad the only thing you need to ask is that what is the purpose of cholesterol,and the should know that is supports hormones and helps in healing our body.I hope you liked this article do comment your views below.
