More than 6 eggs a week can increase chance of death?

I'm still laughing about that to be honest.
3500 calories a day ain't jack

I had a yearly check up at my DOC'S office back in November of 2007. I had dropped 35 pounds from the last time I was in his office. We starte dtalking about diet and exercise and I asked him about eating eggs.

My doc told me as long as I kept exercising, and watched my fat intake, I could eat as many eggs as I wanted and my cholesteral would be fine. I was eating 3 whole eggs and 3 egg whites at the time, every day, seven days a week.

My cholesterol and blood pressure were perfectly fine! It's all about staying active.

So do you think that 3500 cals is a good number when you are weighing 185 and trying to cut. I think its a good number when trying to bulk at that weight but not cut. Thats all Im saying. I love eggs, I eat whole eggs everyday. I've never had a problem with cholesterol because I stay active. But when I CUT I drop my cals lower and I often replace some whole eggs with egg whites to keep my cals where I want them. If Im trying to eat 2200-2500 cals I cant eat 600 cals a meal. Thats all Im saying. I dont know maybe Im completely wrong. But from what I've seen here every person while dieting swithes to whites while dieting.

It's very doable dude, especially someone with who's easily 220 like myself and into military style pt. (5mile run 4:00am + 300 rep sets multiple times a day) Infact 3500 is about where I would start if doing this type split. Going less could mean lost muscle

Sounds like you need to increase your activity level....

Are you sub 10% bodyfat?
A guy worried about eating 3500 calories a day should be pretty cut.

Right bro but your 220lbs, thats almost a 40 pound difference. You are a big dude. Im only 185, my maintenance is around 2800-2900 cals a day. If Im trying to loose fat, which is what Im trying to do I should be around 2300 cals. This is a pretty standard calorie restriction. Maybe you are not reading that IM not talking about you, Im talking about me and there is a big difference in our wieght, and activity level, because no I dont run 5 miles a day. Anyone else want to interject in on this. Maybe Im completely wrong, but for my weight and at a moderate activity level I think Im right on the money. I got these numbers using the The Harris-Benedict formula. But If Im way off, I want to know because my goal is FAT LOSS. not bulk.

In other words you went to one of these half assed BMR calculators sites like this http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ and they spit out a number

Since this is the diet board , what does your diet look like?

No this is straight from the pages of Burn the fat feed the muscle, which is a pretty solid source,I wouldn't call it half assed. And not that it matters but I actually did the math myself. This is also close to the numbers I got from pintoca's calculator so I guess you are calling that half assed too. I dont know why you want to know what my diet looks like. Im having great results. Been loosing a 1.5-2lbs a week, and strength is staying up.But im always open to learning more. We just obviously disagree with how many cals I should be eating. Look man you've got like 11,000 posts, and a shitload of karma you obviously know what you are talking about. Im not trying to get into a pissing match with you. We can agree to disagree on this. Im not some noob. I understand diet, I've researched im not just pulling some numbers out of my ass, there is math and science behind it. And it works. Im sorry but i think your way off saying a 185lb guy should be eating 3500 cals a day while trying to loose bodyfat.

Don't worry about it bro. I have a copy of that Ebook as well but I don't remember a BMR calculator in it but if you say so... I sure you did the calculation yourself as well.

But anyway a diet board is here for us to look at peoples diets. Trust me 6 eggs a day ain't nothin and neither is the calories if your expend them.
