Is it harmful for the body if you eat 2 egg yolks on the days when you exercise?

I have heard that it increases cholesterol in our body. I don't want to get a heart attack at a young age :-o

I exercise for 1.5 hours when I do. Also I eat egg yolks only on the days that I exercise.

Yes it is.

No. You are burning your calories anyway.

My grandparents had PERFECT nutrition. PERFECT. They were the healthiest couple nutrition-wise you ever saw (they weren't gym rats, but very particular about food).

Every single morning they have a 3-course breakfast, and one included two poached eggs over wheat toast. They ate two whole eggs every single morning and they never had problems with cholesterol.

Usually it's genetic. If your family has a history of high cholesterol then you should worry.

Sadly, neither is with us anymore.

My mother had high cholesterol. So, do you think I will be having problems in future ?

Get your cholesterol checked and ask your doctor. It sounds like it might be a big deal in your case.

no it's not. Eggs are actually rather healthy. Don't forget cholesterol (in and of itself) is not bad at all.

Egg whites have more protein but again, eggs in general are pretty healthy. I think it's better to eat the egg yolks than not.

What kind of exercise do you do? I wouldn't last 1.5 hours with weights :/

Isolated exercises. One on each day--it takes 1 hour. After the isolation exercises, I do forearms, then abs, then jogging. This entire routine takes 1.5 hours :-/

Thanks for the link :-)

sure thing!

If you're working out a lot you can get away with this, but I wouldn't make a habit of it. A ton of cholesterol along with a lot of nutrients. You can get the nutrients wiht a lot less cholesterol.

Like how ?

[kheserthorpe]

Unless you have a cholesterol issue, I wouldn't worry about eating eggs.

For the record, testosterone is produced from cholesterol. So I'm not sure that eating none is the best idea.

You don't have to exercise 1.5 hours every time you eat 2 egg yolks! they're good for you

[klaza333]

Eggs contain numerous beneficial nutrients, though the yolks are quite high in cholesterol, so you probably don't want to eat them everyday.

Your cholesterol level might jump.
