I wasn't implying high trigs. I don't think anyone today associates eggs with high trigs.
However eggs are high in a) Sat Fat b) Cholesterol.
Sat Fats cause increased LDL, and while dietary Cholesterol for many folks doesn't cause a rise in LDL, for some people who tend to be hyperabsorbers, it does.
So the knee-jerk comment that gets added anytime someone cautions about a high-egg diet isn't very accurate. I very politely suggested testing, and also said that if everything turns out OK then it's fine.
eggs aren't that high in saturated fat. they're less than a third of total fats.
3 eggs have nearly 5gms of saturated fat. For most people their total sat fat intake should be within 20gms everyday. And most people don't have just boiled eggs, there is plenty of butter involved.
