If you can eat them and not puke!

I've seen a lot of weight-lifting types sit down and eat an entire plateful

of hard boiled eggs... I eat lots of eggs compared to most people but the idea

of a plateful of hard boiled eggs makes me sick.

Is bile acid needing for digesting cholesterol too? Jokes aside, maybe

high-cholesterol low-fat foods would be good for people with defective bile

production.

I eat eggs every day. There have been days that I've eaten maybe 8 eggs. I

consider myself to be a heavy egg eater, but the thought of 25 eggs in one day

makes me sick too!

---->i don't know if it's needed for digesting cholesterol, but cholesterol

is needed for synthesizing bile acid. if someone has defective bile

production, adding more cholesterol wouldn't necessarily improve the defect,

depending on what it is. unless they have defective *cholesterol* endogenous

synthesis, i'd guess, in which case extra exogenous cholesterol could help.

I could probably eat 25 raw egg yolks if I had to for some reason without a

problem, though I would never do it for its own sake. I usually eat about 3-4

eggs a day, often six. I think my record is 11, this out of convenience

(travelling around with hard boiled eggs, etc). But boy, I only did it because

I

had too, and when I was doing this for a couple weeks, I went about 2-3 weeks

eating no eggs because I was so sick of them.

This makes sense to me, but with the caveat that endogenous synthesis of

almost everything is almost always insufficient, or at least sub-optimal, and I

can think of a million things sold as supplements that people synthsize

endogenously, which they are better off for taking.

This reminds me of that theater commercial where they are selling

hard boiled eggs instead of popcorn, in big buckets. Yecch.

Which to me confirms the existence of the appestat. Almost NO ONE

overeats hard boiled eggs! Or can!

BTW cholesterol is thought to be protective against Alzheimers, which makes

me wonder if the guy wasn't self-medicating at some level.

Oh, I dunno. My 6-year-old has eaten a half-dozen at a go if I don't

watch her, and if I'd made up the carton she'd've eaten the dozen.

Yeah, but for me this is because I think hard-boiled eggs are simply gross.

The yolks don't bother me if they aren't overcooked (and if *I* don't make

them they are *always* overcooked) but the cooked whites get gross fast.

Now scrabled eggs or some other eggs, with spices and flavoring, etc, etc, I

can eat *lots* of without getting sick of them.

But yeah, there's a stopping point for everything, or should be.

I'm sure you (and others) can eat lots. I doubt anyone could

eat enough to gain significant amounts of fat though, unless

perhaps they were baked into pecan pie or something. I think

that is true of steak too ... unless you have a VERY damaged

appestat or are malnourished, most people don't gain

weight eating steak.
