So in the morning I eat 9 egg whites with oatmeal, milk and some fruit…
This sounds stupid but I have to go out and buy my own eggs because my mom thinks I’m killing my body. She said 9 egg whites a day is horrible for me and I will end up dieing young… I told her they contain no cholestorol(sp) or fat and some people even put in the yokes because they contain good nutrients that your body needs… she still didnt’ beleive me… she wants evidence now and will not buy me eggs when she goes shopping. This sounds like a really childish thing but I really want her to not worry so damn much.
I’ve been searching on the web for reasons to eat eggwhites, and everywhere I find eat more egg whites instead of yokes and egg whites are good for you and even on the american heart association it says to eat more egg whites… I showed her this and she tells me… yes but only in moderation…
I need help with some legit opinions by like mac daddy Eric Cressey or by someone or somethign that shows that eating 9 egg whites isn’t going to kill me. But then i realize I could easily be wrong so whichever one it is can anyone help me out?

I buy and consume 5 dozen eggs a week.
I recently had blood work done and I’m in perfect health.
I consume about 80% of them raw. [/quote]
I love to eat eggs raw… I dont’ dare do it here but when i went away for a year to college it was like a circus show…
And i bought a box of 90 (7.5 dozen) and got to 70 before i realized the 20 sitting the the refridgerator out in the garage… my mom threw away… when she goes to get groceries she gets everythign but eggs… how rediculous does that sound
thanks for the input do you have any info I can direct her towards? (links) shes crazy about this I think I’m going to offer to pay for her to get a nutritionist I got her a tivo for mothersday so i think her bday is comming up and a nutritionist would do
Seriously, eggs are harmless, especially whites.It’s pure protein, no carbs, no fat, no cholesterol.[/quote]
I won’t lie i have it pretty set here at my house, but this its rediculous isn’t it? I just turned 20 so I should probably move out soon.
They don’t have any cholesterol I told her… and she tells me… “Moderation that doesn’t mean they can’t raise your cholesterol if you eat 9 a day” and i then shook my head and walked away…
I brought home 48 eggs because she wont’ buy any… the mintue i got home you would have thought I was brining cocaine into the house my parents surrounded me and were interrogating me it was hilarious
I figure if I show them I’m right about this they’ll stop with the…
whey protein is going to kill you
BCAA’s are taking days off your life
If you eat to much you’ll end up unhappy hahahahah
There is nothing wrong with eating that many eggs. I would throw in a few yolks too, they’re full of vitamins, protein, healthy fats and the cholesterol won’t kill you. One egg doesn’t have that many calories anyway, like 60 each. How far is that going to get you?
But there is no way you’re going to convince your mom that this is healthy. Moms look for stuff to worry and nag about, it’s what they do. Just try not to let it bother you.
Does she keep you from eating chicken breast? Tuna? Beef? Does she have a problem with protein? (if so, lets beat her up!)
Have you seriously talked to her and asked what, exactly, is unhealthy about egg whites? Or even eggs in general, given that cholesterol has a very significant genetic factor?

Well, crap dude, I know you love your mother more than anything in the world. But if you want to live life by your own rules…
Anyway, I eat about a dozen and half of eggs, raw, per day and I’m not dead yet. BUT I am on the Anabolic Diet, and that is different than what your on.
nobody knows whats best for you than your mother. you need to listen to her and do exactly as she pleases. how dare you go against her wishes for you. what gall on your part.
now, if you still believe in your rebellious ways, perhaps you can get a fridge in your room. if she ever messes with the eggs in your room, then ma boy, you just gotta hit the big road and strike it on your own.
eggs might just be catalyst for your independence, which seems long overdue at your age.
she could care less if i eat chicken or meat… If i ask her to hook it up when she goes to get food she’ll bring home a decenent a mount of steaks and freeze them for me.
The whey is a different story, she hates it any time i come home with anythign she gets upset. I am a whey/casein/BCAA/Fish oil guy and she hates all of them and says I’m poisoning my body…
but its all good i have to find some way of getting her to beleive I’m not going to die otherwise I will continuely lose eggs due to her destroying them…
my father in law swears by a raw egg, every day. open his fridge, there are like 60 eggs in there all lined up. it is in fact very good for you. he is probably a few generations before your mum though, and there are / were a few scares with eggs in the past.
the cholesterol, shown to be wrong, since there are things in the yolk that counter/enhance the cholesterol
bad eggs and disease, should not be a problem but it can be sometimes if they are raw, if cooked even slightly, not a problem
hives can be triggered in some people. if you don’t break out in sores then not a problem for you
you need to get a scientific article, print it, show her
Don’t cause too much drama at home, eggs will not break or make your progress, eat something else instead !!! Eat chicken or tuna in place of the eggs.
I put back at least three whole eggs every morning, sometimes more on weekends. My cholesterol level is so low that it is nearing unhealthy levels and I am adding more fats to my diet.
Are your parents vegans or part of some natural health cult? It seems odd for them to just be so strangely misinformed. Just keep buying your own eggs?at least they?re cheap.
I used to do whites only, but then started reading and now they all say to go with whole eggs because the cholestorol concern is a lie. It’s the good kind not the bad kind everyone once was led to believe in the 80s and 90s.
Why are you depending on eggs so much anyways? There are too many other sources you can go with, not to mention the fact that the variety of protien sources will keep you from getting burned out.
Sounds like someone should divorce his mommy. You’re a man for God’s sake, act like one. Tell her you’re eating the fucking eggs. It’s your life, not hers. End of discussion.
