\nEating eggs might help you crack open new potential, but could you stomach 30 a day?<\/p>\n

Joseph Everett, creator of the popular \u201cWhat I\u2019ve Learned\u201d YouTube channel, devoured 900 in a month to test bodybuilding legend Vince Gironda\u2019s bold claim that eating 36 eggs a day is just as effective for bulking up as a steroid shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe science on this is really limited, so instead of trying to dig up all these papers on eggs, I figured I\u2019d just go ahead and eat 30 a day for a month and see what happens,\u201d Everett explained in a YouTube video before diving in.<\/p>\n

Eggs are considered one of the most nutritious foods, packed with protein, healthy fats and essential nutrients like choline, iron and vitamins A, B12 and D \u2014 all while being low in calories.<\/p>\n

Everett ate 30 eggs a day for a month, including egg-white omelets and raw yolk smoothies. He also supplemented his diet with rice, beef, yogurt, fruit, honey and occasionally a protein bar.<\/p>\n

In addition to the meal plan, Everett followed a weightlifting routine and documented his progress in a video that has racked up more than 783,000 views.
\nWhile Everett didn\u2019t consider himself a \u201cserious lifter,\u201d he said he regularly lifted weights for fitness before taking on the challenge. He recorded his starting strength with exercises like barbell lifts, deadlifts, squats and bench presses.<\/p>\n

He also took baseline measurements of his weight and underwent blood tests to track key markers like testosterone and cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n

By the end of the month, Everett had gained 13 pounds of muscle mass. His blood tests showed a notable drop in triglycerides, a harmful fat linked to strokes and heart attacks. On the fitness front, he was able to lift 44 more pounds than when he started.
\nEverett said that, overall, he found the challenge relatively easy. But it wasn\u2019t without its hiccups. On night five, he admitted, \u201cI had so much gas I couldn\u2019t sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy girlfriend asked me to sleep on the sofa because the flatulence was keeping her awake,\u201d he joked. <\/p>\n

One thing Everett kept a close eye on was his cholesterol, given that eggs are high in the substance, which can be harmful to your heart. The American Heart Association recommends that healthy adults eat up to one egg per day, while older healthy people can eat up to two daily as part of a balanced diet.
\nSurprisingly, after a month of consuming 30 eggs daily, Everett\u2019s blood tests showed minimal changes in his \u201cbad cholesterol,\u201d while his \u201cgood cholesterol\u201d levels actually increased.<\/p>\n

Everett also focused on the amount of saturated fat he was taking in. He hypothesized that the fats and cholesterol from the eggs might be converted into testosterone, which, when combined with strength training, could boost muscle growth.
\nAround day nine, he began noticing changes in his behavior, which he speculated could be due to a potential rise in testosterone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt more focused, had tons of energy in and out of the gym, my libido was higher, and I was a bit more driven and unrestrained,\u201d he told viewers. But, surprisingly, his final blood work showed no change in testosterone levels.<\/p>\n

By day 14, Everett grew tired of cooking and choking down egg whites, so he switched to drinking all 30 eggs raw each day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe food sat on my stomach better, I felt lighter, less bloated and my performance on the toilet was great,\u201d he wrote in a Substack post.
\nBut by day 20, things took a turn. <\/p>\n

\u201cI found myself stuck in the bathroom for over an hour, really constipated and cramping up,\u201d he recalled in the video. \u201cStanding up made the cramps even worse, but I had to get up because I also needed to puke.\u201d<\/p>\n

With 10 eggs left and 300 more to go, Everett had to figure out what was causing his digestive issues. He traced them back to raw eggs\u2019 high levels of trypsin inhibitors, which can cause stomach problems.
\nOnce he started cooking the egg whites again, his stomach troubles subsided.<\/p>\n

While Everett isn\u2019t sure if the egg-only method is as effective as steroids for bulking, he said he might try it again \u2014 though next time, he\u2019d swap the egg whites for red meat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
