Hi all,

Im in the middle of a debate about eggs so want opinions educated or otherwise about how many egg YOLKS as apposed to the usual protein stuffed white you can eat a week.
I hate chucking the yolks away but usually eat one whole egg and 2 whites with a little smoked salmon to make up my protein limit for a meal.

I cant find any link that says you can eat no more that X a week but they all seem to say 6/7 is fine. But if so, why are some people restricted (I know diabetics are and people with high cholesteral) or if its all ok to eat as many as you like then why restrict yourself at all. Why not just eat the whole egg all the time seeing as its all good cholesteral LDL/HDL thing.

Gonna put this up in Medical forum and Diet/Nutrition just to compare.
Thanks for the opinions.
