Not gonna argue with about eggs. I eat 4 to 5 daily, avoid high-glycemic carbs and workout nearly every day. I lift, run, cycle, row and do HIIT group workouts. My Cholesterol is all well within the healthy ranges.

1. Dietary Cholesterol and Blood Cholesterol Levels:
Weak Association: For most individuals, dietary cholesterol has a modest effect on blood cholesterol levels. Your body generally compensates for dietary cholesterol intake by reducing the amount it produces internally.
Saturated Fat is Key: Instead, saturated fat intake is more strongly linked to elevated LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels. High intake of saturated fat can cause your liver to produce more cholesterol.
Focus on Overall Diet: Experts now emphasize the importance of adopting a healthy dietary pattern rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources as a primary way to manage cholesterol levels and reduce CVD risk.
Some Studies Show Minor Increases: Some research shows that dietary cholesterol can increase serum total and LDL cholesterol, but this effect may become statistically insignificant at higher intake levels.
Eggs as an Exception: Some studies suggest that eggs, while high in dietary cholesterol, may not significantly increase LDL cholesterol or CVD risk, particularly when consumed as part of a low-saturated fat diet. The positive effects on HDL ("good") cholesterol and other lipoprotein changes observed in some studies may even be protective.
