In other words, it’s all about calorie intake, not any of that other bushwa. 24 eggs = 1872 calories a day. If you restrain your calorie intake to 1800 calories, your cardiovascular issues should start to moderate.

I did the math as well. You are correct. 1800 calories for an average male, there is a good chance you will lose weight and get healthier.

Where did you see that in the article? Article shows eating only eggs which they claim causes bad cholesterol actually reduced his cholesterol.

No claim about calories was discussed.

It’s all about BigPharma selling Lipator and other statins ... that are doing more harm than good.

No, that is NOT true. Nor does anything in this example suggest it.

First, there is no significant correlation even between total cholesterol and cardiovascular problems. Never was, except among young men.

But eggs are also low-carb and won’t spike your insulin the way bread will. And Nick has NEVER been obese, so what he needs to maintain weight or other markers may well be different than someone who has become obese.

FWIW, I’m a 5’8” guy who currently is a fairly lean 160 pounds. In my youth, after being the fattest kid in the class growing up, I dieted down just below 120 using “calories in, calories out” - and still had a thick layer of fat on my belly while looking boney everywhere else. So no, it was NOT “all about calorie intake, not any of that other bushwa”...

True
I say that here all the time
But many cling it’s poor people at fast feeds
But if u eat 1200-1500 calories fast food a day
3 double cheeseburgers with diet drink
Or 5-6 double Krystals.
Man if u can’t stay full all day on 5-6 of those bombs something is wrong lol

You’ll lose 1.5 to 2 pounds a week if u need 2000-2200 calories a day to maintain which is average for most people
