During Covid lockdown, we went through a couple dozen eggs a week. Baking was part of it, but lots were scrambled, fried and made into cheese omelets.
We had to switch doctors in January, and our cholesterol was WAY elevated. Mine was dangerously high and I got put on statins, which I hated.
We visited with our local grocery store nutritionist, and her advice was no more than 3 eggs a week, which we've adhered to.
We followed a pretty strict low cholesterol (yucky) diet for a couple of months and combined lost the weight of a smallish person. Enough so that when my cholesterol was retested she took me off statins. And I went down 3 pant sizes.
My parents both had high cholesterol but also ate like farmers so if it's in my genes, it didn't surface until my mid-60's.
I agree that doctors are pretty useless when it comes to diet. I guess that's why God made nutritionists.
