Man Ate Over 700 Eggs In One Month To See What It Would Do To His Body — Here’s What Happened
What happens when someone eats more than 700 eggs in just 30 days? That’s over 23 eggs a day! One man decided to take on this extreme food challenge—and the results were fascinating, surprising, and even a little alarming.
Why Did He Do It?
He wanted to test two things:
- Could eating a high-cholesterol food like eggs daily really spike blood cholesterol levels?
- Could this nutrient-dense food actually improve physical health, energy, and muscle tone?
Eggs are packed with protein, vitamins (like B12 and D), healthy fats, and antioxidants. But they’ve long been controversial due to their cholesterol content—one large egg has about 186 mg.
Here’s What Happened to His Body:
1. His Cholesterol Went Up… But Not How You’d Think
Blood tests showed a slight increase in total cholesterol. But interestingly, his HDL (the “good” cholesterol) rose more than LDL (the “bad” kind). The ratio remained healthy. This supports modern research suggesting dietary cholesterol doesn’t affect blood cholesterol as much as we once believed.
2. Weight Gain? Not Really
Despite eating more than 2,000 calories daily from eggs alone, he didn’t gain much weight. In fact, he reported feeling full longer, snacked less, and maintained his weight thanks to eggs’ high protein and satiety.
3. Energy Boost & Mental Focus
Surprisingly, he said he felt sharper mentally and had more stable energy throughout the day. Eggs provide choline, which supports brain health and focus.
4. Digestive Trouble
Eating over 20 eggs a day isn’t easy. He experienced some bloating and mild constipation, likely from the lack of fiber (eggs have none). His advice: Don’t skip veggies or fiber-rich foods even if you’re on a protein-heavy plan.
5. No Signs of Vitamin Deficiency
Thanks to the variety of vitamins and minerals in eggs (especially vitamin A, D, selenium, and B12), his basic nutrient levels remained solid—though he still recommends balancing the diet with fruits and greens.
FAQs
Is it safe to eat that many eggs daily?
Not for everyone. People with heart disease or cholesterol issues should consult a doctor. Moderation is still key.
How many eggs are safe per day?
Research suggests up to 2–3 eggs a day are safe for most healthy people.
Are eggs better boiled or fried?
Boiled or poached eggs are healthier due to less oil and oxidation from high heat.
Did he recommend it?
Not long-term. It was an experiment, not a lifestyle. He emphasized variety and balance are essential.
Final Thoughts:
The egg experiment proved one thing: eggs might be one of the most misunderstood superfoods. But even something healthy can become unhealthy in extreme amounts. As always, moderation wins.
