Do eggs make you gain weight?
 

I have had 3 eggs just about every morning for like 3 months wrapped in a low carb tortilla wrap. (The wrap is only 1 point) is that okay?

No, they don't. You only gain if you are going over points (including weekly points.)

You might watch your cholesterol eating that many eggs. I make myself an egg and egg white omelet and don't miss the second yolk. My dr checks my levels with blood work when I go for a check up. Eggs are healthy whole foods as long as you don't have other issues.:)

That's not entirely accurate. Bodies are complicated things and there are weeks where you do everything right and will still see a gain.

But no single food will make you gain weight. Moderation is a good thing, and that's what WW advocates. Kassi: Keep doing what you're doing if it's working, and when it's not working for you anymore, adapt :) There's no real problem with having 3 eggs.

Okay. :)

That is true.

That's a 7 point breakfast. Not bad! I generally have between 5 to 9 points for breakfast myself. I don't think three eggs is a bad thing. I don't have the references right at my finger tips, but I recall reading that eggs don't really add to cholesterol as much as was once thought.

ETA: I found the article I was thinking about: http://www.sciencenews.org/view/gene...lesterol_Risks

Hmmmm...maybe three eggs every day isn't such a good thing.

The American Heart Association says 1 egg a day for healthy adults, egg whites are unlimited. For someone your size, 3 eggs are a lot. Why not have 1 egg and 2 whites in your wrap and add some veggies to eat or eat a piece of fruit with it.
