Am I eating too many egg whites?

[Golden_Muscle]

I eat 32 egg whites per day, plus my meats. Is that too many egg whites in one day? I eat that many every day.

If your blood pressure is fine I would not worry about it. I eat 3-6 whole eggs every day.

Egg whites affect blood pressure!?!?!? Im not eating the yolks.

Whites have a good ammount of sodium when you add up that many. I think it's about 55mg per white.

WHAT!?!!!? But they come right out of the egg, and I eat the eggwhite right away without the yolk, and I dont add salt!

How can there be salt in it?!?!?

I eat egg whites instead of whey powder, and I eat fish, turkey, and chicken everyday.

BUMP! Im worried!!

You don't like whey?

Not really.

I really need to know if there is sodium in a natural eggwhite straight from the shell, without the yolk, and no added salt.

Please let me know, and a link would be nice to prove it.

Thanks.

I also eat 3-4 whole eggs a day. But Im always worried about my cholesterol especially on gear. Have you noticed any problems with this?

But why? Im using eggwhite instead of protein powder, and protein powder has salt added to it so its worse.

So its not safe to eat many egg whites I guess...

Back to the drawing board......that really sucks!

I ate 32 egg whites for 2 months everyday. Do you think it could have raised my blood pressure? I have normal blood pressure, but do you think it raised it?

I quit the egg whites. I going ot get a whey isolate when I find one that I agree with.

Depending on your size and your bodies way of handling sodium, you may be perfectly fine. The RDA shit for nutrients is just about useless for people like us. 32 may be a bit high, but a dozen whites a day is a great way to get some really high quality protein.

Your liver manufactures cholesterol, dietary cholesterol does NOT have an impact on it. Infants have been placed on diets equivalent to 40 whole eggs per week with no change in cholesterol.

The ONE rule of thumb you must follow is to not cook your eggs in an iron skillet with the yolk touching iron.

Your liver manufactures 95% of your cholesterol and it is primarly made from sugars and other high GI carbs, in other words the bullshit that humans added to their diets when we stopped being hunched over and started using a motar and pestle. When we fucked with nature we fucked ourselves.
