Person who eats over 2,000 eggs a year reveals impact it has on their body

Someone who goes through a bizarre number of eggs on a daily basis has answered questions about what impact it has had on their body.

There has been a surprising amount of debate about how many eggs is too many eggs in your diet, with fears among experts that the high cholesterol content in egg yolks could increase the risk of heart disease.

Other studies have praised eggs as a good source of protein, and said up to seven eggs a week can reduce the risk of strokes and blindness through macular degeneration.

The consensus is generally that one or two eggs a day is unlikely to do you any harm, though one Reddit user has been eating far more than that and documenting the effect it had on their body.

They confessed to eating six eggs a day - that’s right, six whole eggs - and people obviously had some questions.

They said: “As title says. I typically eat six eggs a day, but sometimes I’ll eat a bit more or less, whatever I’m in the mood for that day.

"I stay pretty stocked up with them. I just really like everything about eggs so I can’t get enough. Ask me anything.”

So one of the most obvious questions social media users had is how exactly are they eating them... surely not just cracking them in their mouth and going about their day.

Thankfully not, the user said they tend to have them soft boiled and occasionally scrambled. They also revealed the eggs are all free range, and they often restock from an aunt who has chickens.

But another curiosity that users had is what exactly is all that egg doing to their body?

Aside from ‘diabolical’ farts, they haven't noticed any adverse effects from their daily habit, besides slight bloating. They confessed they don't often get their cholesterol checked, but 'feel fine'.

They did say: “I don’t eat much aside from the eggs. Maybe some chicken on a good day."

The Reddit user - who revealed they're 'too lazy' to go to the gym and don't dip toast in their soft-boiled eggs as 'toast is too much work' - got very candid at points.

They responded to a question about what their diet was doing to their bowels by revealing they do one or two number twos per day - which is pretty normal.

When asked why they were eating like this, they simply said: "I really like eggs."

While this might sound odd, people gone to larger extremes in the past, as YouTuber Joseph Everett wanted to see what would happen if he consumed around 900 eggs in a month.

Just in case your math is a little off... that is a whole lot more than six eggs a day. Everett was getting through around 30 eggs a day but thankfully he was adding a few other foods.

In a video he said: “A typical day of eating for me would usually be something like 30 eggs, a bowl of rice, a bit of beef, a bit of yogurt, some fruit, a bit of honey and maybe a protein bar.”

He explained that many of the eggs would be consumed in a smoothie with protein powder, and some fruits.
