I’ve always liked eggs—they’re filling and delicious, but for some reason, I just can’t be bothered to make them on the weekdays because I’m too busy. At least that’s what I tell myself as I run out the door for work every morning juggling multiple bags and swiping an apple or banana out of the fruit bowl for breakfast. The problem: When I do this, I am freakin’ ravenous and totally distracted long before it’s lunch time, which sets a bad tone for the rest of the day. So I decided it was time for a change, and that change would be eating some eggs. Specifically, 3 eggs every morning for a week. Why eggs? They’re the perfect little package. Not only are they protein-rich (about 7 grams each), but eggs—specifically the yolks—contain inflammation-fighting omega-3s; vitamins D, E, and B12; and minerals like selenium. Plus, just two eggs a day fulfills half of your daily needs for the memory boosting nutrient choline, which, per recent studies most Americans severely lack. And for the low cost of a dozen local organic eggs—$5 or less—there was no excuse not to make the switch. Here's what I learned when I did. (Slash your cholesterol, burn stubborn belly fat, solve your insomnia, and more—naturally!—with Rodale's Eat For Extraordinary Health & Healing!) Eggs Have A Lot Of Haters But They’re Wrong I knew I was going to get some hate from people claiming that all that cholesterol would lead to my premature demise. But, to be honest, I think that’s kind of a load of nonsense. Nutrition science has come a long way since the heyday of egg white omelets, and much of the traditional advice about saturated fat and cholesterol wasn’t based upon good science to begin with. Plus, while the American Heart Association used to recommend consuming no more than 300 mg of dietary cholesterol a day, they recently decided there’s not enough scientific evidence to stand by that suggestion. Experts now say that, yes, there's cholesterol in eggs, but, contrary to what we've previously been told, dietary cholesterol doesn't seem to have much effect on blood cholesterol, the type that actually clogs your arteries, for the average person. Still, nutritionists emphasize that how many eggs you can safely eat per week largely depends on how the rest of your diet looks, which makes it a pretty personal (and variable) recommendation. But since I’m active (I walk my dog 4 miles a day), healthy, and eat a balanced, veggie-rich diet, I felt pretty great about adding 3 organic eggs to the mix, especially to my protein- and fat-deficient mornings.
