    Before I had a personal trainer tell me ahh don't worry about eggs and cholesterol your grand just eat as many as you want.Dont know what to make from it totally confused. I could eat about five a day I'm trying to gain weight is this to much?

    Found this online.....

    A lot of us love to eat eggs for breakfast, especially after finding they could help with weight loss. You may be throwing away the yolks to cut calories and reduce cholesterol, which is fine but did you know that most of an egg's nutrients are found in the yolk? Take a look at the comparison below to see what you may be missing.

    Moral of the story: Think about keeping (and eating) a few yolks every once in a while -- If you don't currently have cholesterol problems, you can eat up to seven yolks a week.

    Listen to your trainer their right. Eat as many as you want, yoke included.

    Edit: Read the myth section in stickies. It's on the first page.

    added to that -

    1. Yes eat the whole egg

    2. The yolks are vital source of b-vitamin choline (unlikely you are all eating liver regularly) read more here - http://blog.cholesterol-and-health.com/2010/11/sweet-truth-about-liver-and-egg-yolks.html

    3. Regarding allergies - its the egg white that people have issues with so you might find you are fine with egg yolks but not whites (egg white has the protein which is what your immune system reacts to if you have allergy to eggs).

    All the best
