Thread: Do you think you can eat too many eggs?

I have a problem with constipation with boiled eggs! I also think everything should be moderation and having variety is also important when losing weight on SW!

I went through a stage of eating at least 2 a day, but got constipation. So painful, i am now wary of eating any

I have eggs whenever I feel like it, and don't have any ill effects. Some people have problems with them - it depends on the individual.

The cholesterol issue has been explained in BrightonRosie's very useful posting above.

It has been known for years that there is not a link between cholesterol in foods and high cholesterol in people, but it has taken ages for this to filter down to the general public, and many people still believe it. And you still see foods marketed as low in cholesterol (especially American foods) although this is totally irrelevant.

I dont know to be honest! I had a 3 egg omlette for breakfast today, and i'll probably have another 3 egg omlette through out the week (when I have time), and i'll probably use a boiled egg or 2 for a sandwich? Guess thats it? But that can vary, sometimes I forget about them for ages!

and also, I dont think I've had any constipation problems before. I guess if I was I would know about it??

Has anyone noticed today on the SW website there is now a receipe competition for eggs!! and a little blurb about how they arent bad for you. Might have to get on that competition!! x
