Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I ate 12 eggs today. Will this cause any health issues?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Proteins in eggs are of most superior quality and now the cholesterol (in the yolk) is also not considered as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. But eating 12 large boiled eggs (about 600 grams) will provide you more than 900 calories. Since already you have a high BMI (attachment removed to protect patient identity), try to reduce your calorie consumption. Eating raw eggs increases the risk of salmonella poisoning and deficiency of biotin (vitamin B). Also, boiled eggs have better bio-availability of proteins than the raw egg.
