A question about chicken eggs.
Obviously they're high in protein and you always hear about bodybuilders eating truckloads of them. They taste great and are relatively easy to prepare.
However I'd love to get the facts about their cholesterol levels, because I have heard mixed reports. Last year I had to have a blood test for glandular fever and the results showed that I have a "very high" level of cholesterol, which is hereditary on my dad's side even though both of us have(or in his case had :lol quite low body fat percentages.
Basically I've avoided eggs ever since, but the other day someone at the gym who pumps a lot of iron told me that it's been proven that eggs don't increase cholesterol levels and that I should be eating them if I'm looking to bulk up. A quick google search again shown varying reports.
Anyone with a solid scientific knowledge on the matter would be greatly appreciated, because I'd love to get back into eggs if cholesterol isn't a factor.
Cheers
