There is an anabolic effect in the egg yolks. Vince Gironda would recommend 1-3 dozen raw eggs per day as a way to pack on mass. Did you know a dozen eggs has the same dose of arachidonic acid as X-Factor? Did you know that testosterone is made from cholesterol? Did you know cholesterol in its unadultered form (not cooked) is actually a substance of repair? Your body doesn't create and recycle cholesterol in the liver and then put it into the blood to kill you. It's there because it serves a purpose. Cholesterol is bound to transporter proteins (lipoproteins) that carry cholesterol to and from cells to be used.

Neil I can admit when i'm wrong, and I took what you said out of context.

But I still don't like the idea of taking in so much cholesterol on a daily basis (6 or more eggs daily) when it isn't for certain that it's good cholesterol.

Fats & Cholesterol: Nutrition Source, Harvard School of Public Health

Dietary intake of cholesterol has little impact on LDL level. Harvard did a study where people consumed ~2/3lb of shrimp per day and found it did not significantly alter ratios or raise LDL.

Next to human flesh, egg whites the best natural source of protein you can eat. Pop a multi vit if you're that concerned about missing out on the yolk. I choose to avoid the fat and carbs in the yolk. I think it has about a gram of protein... more i'm sure.

I have found a good source for human flesh, but I'm not sure if it's against board rules to post it. I either go with a dry pork rub or if I'm drinking heavily, I sometimes go with the naked version as opposed to mild, medium, hot, 3 alarm, honey garlic, running scared, or teriyaki. But that teriyaki keeps taunting me...

As far as eggs are concerned. Eat the egg. Why is there a Police car out in front of my house?

I did read a post somewhere on here about freezing the yolks and using them at a later date, but can't seem to find it anywhere! Maybe i imagined it. Anyway, what do you guys do with your yolks? also, how long would yolks last in a sealed container?

I eat the yolks - they may not have as much protein as the whites but have a lot of other nutritional values not to be over looked.

The negative egg yolk conspiracy theory was "hatched" by the evil egg white supremacists.

If I don't wanna eat the yolks I'll just use egg whites, but cracking open eggs only to remove and waste the yolk is tediously retarded IMO.

I eat them every single time!

Nuff said.

I ate 12 whole jumbo sized eggs today. Anabolic Diet FTW!

[bpmartyr]

It seems to me really a question of the overall macro count I wish to achieve with a given diet. I like the whole egg and have nothing against yolks but if eating three whole with 4 extra whites puts me where I wish to be for the meal then so be it. Eggs are cheap and throwing a few yolks away doesn't bother me; buying egg whites in a carton irritates my pocket book.

5 whole eggs = 30g pro & 30g fat 450 ~cals
3 whole + 4 whites = 30g pro & 18g fat ~306 cals
