I know this may be a tad bit off topic, but I've seen guys post about diet on here before so I figured what the heck.
For the past 5 months or so, I've been consuming 12 whole eggs a day, including the yolks, in an effort to gain mass (only a small part of my diet).
Just to be clear, I did not go into this with zero research. I read many articles disputing the "egg yolk myth" and they all generally had the same conclusion. That egg yolks do not directly result in raising blood cholesterol levels. The yolks also contain a lot of beneficial nutrients. So I decided to keep all yolks.
Recently, after practicing this routine for about 5 months, I ran into an old friend of mine that competes in shows, and shared my diet with him. He said I should be extremely worried about my cholesterol levels. He said I would die if i kept that up!
After talking to him, I've done more research, and now I cannot come to a damn conclusion. I've never had hereditary issues with cholesterol. Always been healthy as can be. I really need someone to ease my troubled mind now that my old friend came at me with that insane point of view.
Who has knowledge on this that would like to share?
