how much is too much?

how much egg in my diet is too much? my parents say the amount that i'm taking a day is too muc and is bad for me. i'm taking 4 in t morning and 4 in the night. all boil.

also, what is a superset?

Im not expert on nutrition but i think that 4 eggs a day is about the maximum that you should eat.  8 seems way to much.  There has always been caution with eggs do to the high cholesterol it has.  Are you eating the yolk as well or just the white?

Also supersetting is working too opposing muscle groups back to back without have a rest in between

e.g.

Chest + Back - rest - Chest + Back - rest -
Bicep + Tricep - rest - Tricep + Bicep - rest -

Its very effective, especially if your against a time limit.

thanks

first off, if you are eating just normal eggs then yes you are consuming too much cholesterol from those 8 eggs, try mixing it up with some egg whites that way it is more protein and much cleaner for your body. i usually go with about 3 to 1 ratio, whites to normal eggs. and a superset, is when you do one particular exercise set and then do an opposing muscle group exercise right after it. the most common example would be to do a bicep/tricep superset, you would do a set of cable pulldowns for tris and then a set of barbell curls for bis, alternating as such.

Let the pain come over you, but never overcome you.

they recommend no more than 1 egg a day for healthy ppl. So I usually have 1 egg + 2 egg whites a day.....

yeah i used to eat like 2 dozen Jumbo eggs a day..
but it was only the whites and i dont think it really made a difference in my strength or weight

that's maybe because you don't eat above your maintainence level. it's not all about just protein....

Thanks guys............

What if ur eating egg whites with no colesteral, is eating 400g a day a lot?

It's alright to have 400 grams, as egg whites contain no fats/cholestrol. But it's best to eat a range of foods for their protein, i.e. meats, rather than just relying on eggs for its protein. You might get sick of it :D
