Are Eggs Good for You?



Are eggs good for you? Over the last 50 years there have been mixed messages from all levels of the food management chain over whether eggs are good for you or poison to your body. Taking Veganism out of the picture it is interesting to see what is going on within that egg in your fridge

What is in Eggs

Are Eggs Good for You?

Are Eggs Good for You?

Protein – The average egg has an interesting protein profile that can not be overlooked. For many years the best protein that bodybuilders ate to improve muscle was egg protein, this has not been replaced by whey protein but still eggs are good for you in that they have a very balanced amount of amino acids and each egg has 6 grams of protein

Carbohydrates – Eggs have no carbohydrates so they also have no fiber but still for many people on carb restricted diets this is a good choice.

Fat – Eggs are actually high in fat for their weight and size. The average egg has 5 grams of fat which is only about 40 calories from fat but this is almost as many grams as protein. This is a problem for many people although most people are not going to eat too many eggs at one time for this to be a deciding factor whether to eat eggs or not.

Cholesterol – Eggs are very high in Cholesterol and this has been the problem that the health industry has had with Eggs over the years. the average egg has 211 mg of Cholesterol so people that are concerned for good reason that eggs can be a risk to your heart and arteries with the cholesterol leading to high blood pressure and hardening of the arteries.

Are Eggs good for you?

The latest scientific study it seems that eggs are bad for you but it is important to look at an egg for what it is, 70 calories with protein and 211mg of cholesterol.

If you eat one egg by itself no problem, if you eat two eggs still no problem. But if you eat 2 eggs with bacon and toast slathered with butter….well every morning eating this will make you very sick.

The most important things to me are habits, consistency, and smart decisions. I love eggs and eat an omelette probably once a week but I would never eat them everyday so really in the end I think that making sure that eggs are a special part of your diet is a fantastic thing but not every day when there are much more healthy choices for an everyday breakfast.

Do what You Can Where You are




Love this pic.

Have you ever thought of what you can do if you have no running shoes, no bike, no gym? These guys are doing bench press with fencing on a iron bar.

I try to get my fitness in any way that I can and having fun running around a park with the kids is just an added bit of fitness to add to my day

How about you? Tell me what you do in a tough situation to get a bit of extra exercise?

Where is Your Head At?




I have had a cold or allergies or something the last few days which kind of kicked me for a couple days this weekend but today I was back at the gym and hitting it hard. Eating has been really good and I have kept the motivation that I need to continue successfully on my 30 day fitness challenge.

How about you. Where is your head at?

If you are doing this 30 day fitness challenge along with me, or even if you are not this is a tough week for many people. The first week getting in shape is great. Lots of changes, moving forward with eating and exercise, and finally feeling like you are doing something great for yourself.

You do feel great about yourself now I hope?

Remember you need to keep yourself first. You can’t help others if you are not strong yourself.

Anyway, this is week 2 and your motivation may wane at some time this week. If you are a mere mortal like the rest of us then you know that the excitement that you have when you start something can’t continue forever and since it is hard for you to see tangible results you have to work hard to find something to keep yourself going.

Your goal this week is to make sure that you at least keep your exercise up and improve your eating. There are always things that you can do to improve your eating – And don’t eat after dinner, that will help you sleep better and not crave as much food in the morning.

Celebrate every single success that you have this week and remember everything that has made you stronger over the last week and over this week.

I find that most people are always meek about their accomplishments and if you stop that you will see that you are achieving a lot right now and I want to make sure you are excited about what you have done so far.
