Drop eggs from diet before competition?

[JJFigure]

One of the male bodybuilders at my gym told me to drop eggs from my diet three weeks out, because they make you retain water. Does anyone do this? Eggs are kind of a crucial part of my diet.

Are you holding water now?

Not any more than usual; but i haven't been controlling my sodium at all yet. I usually don't worry about that until a couple days before comp. I just thought it was odd to drop eggs out of my diet and was curious if anyone else did it.

I don't have any eggs in any of my diets at all, so I can't help ya out, sorry

I can't see any reason not to leave them in. If you're doing any sodium manipulation then you might drop them out in the last few days. Sounds to me like more BB urban myth.

Don't you just love those BB urban myths?

Hey JJ, let's hi-jack your thread and turn it into a BB myths thread???

I'll start. Dairy products are no good for dieting.

Women shouldn't lift weights, it will make them look manly, be bulky and musclebound.

I remember Diesel girl mentioning something about egg whites can make you bloated.
