This is where many people stop: “Won’t my levels go up?” Well, today science offers a different answer than the traditional one. It’s true that eggs contain cholesterol, but for most healthy people, that dietary cholesterol doesn’t have a direct and significant impact on blood cholesterol. Instead, the real “villains” identified by experts are saturated fats, trans fats, ultra-processed foods, and sugars.
However, if a person has diabetes, lipid disorders, or any other specific condition, it’s advisable to consult a doctor before increasing their egg intake.
So, is 3 eggs a day a good idea?
Yes, it can be… with some caveats. Consuming 3 eggs a day can be a very positive option if it fits into your lifestyle, overall diet, and if they are prepared healthily. But be careful! If those 3 eggs are eaten fried, with butter, bacon, white bread, and as part of a diet high in saturated fats, then the benefits are reduced and the risks can increase.
