My father was a Pharmacist that went to school on the GI Bill after WWII. When the don't eat eggs because of cholesterol came up I asked him about it. ( He liked his eggs over easy with bacon)

He said that egg cholesterol is broken down by our digestive system and our bodies build what is needs out of that. So we have known for sure for a long time the eating eggs do not result in heart disease. I have read and talked with MDs, nutritionist, and many other people that should have known different still proclaim that consuming eggs can result in heart problems.

I often read that body builders need 1 gram per lb of body weight.

What about active regular exercisers who just do walking Pilates and moderate weights ?

How do we calculate our needs?
