Can you eat eggs with fatty liver?

[emarie96]

So I've done some research and can't find a definitive answer on if eggs are safe as part of a fatty liver diet. I've read that choline and other nutrients are good for you liver and comes from eggs. I just want to make sure that I'm not eating too many eggs. How many is safe a day? Also is avocado oil safe for a fatty liver diet?

Well eggs had long time ago bad reputation because of cholesterol.But today is quite opposite however I would not recommend to eat them a lot.

I've been told only olive oil, any other oils contain unhealthy fats.

Not sure bout avocado oil is safe, I have been told to use coconut or olive oil but I don't care for the taste of olive oil but coconut oil is a very light and clean tasting oil. I have been told eggs are ok for fatty liver diet as it adds protein and I always eat at least 3 eggs a day and sometimes 5 or 6 if I use hard boiled eggs as a snack. Have been on low carb diet almost 2 years with no issues with liver. Ron

Ron, Thank you for responding. I have been eating 2 eggs a day for breakfast and I was kind of getting worried about it considering I was finding very mixed reviews about it online. Hope all is well.

The concern people have about eggs is cholesterol in the yolks. Not a lot is actually absorbed but like most things moderation is a good idea. We use egg whites and whole eggs to get the protein. Here is a link to an analysis if that might be of value

Avocado oil is an excellent source of unsaturated fat and good for you.

I have had NASH for 21 years and I eat eggs all the time, like 3 times a week. I eat avocados once in a while and have used the oil before, did not care for it. Once again Moderation of anything is ok. Just No drugs unless they do not go through the liver and No alcohol, but even my dr says a glass of wine once or twice a month is ok especially to relax you because STRESS is the worst thing of all. My digestive systems does not move at all if I'm so stress or it gives me flu like systems. Just listen to your body!!

Based on all the research I did, eggs are ideal for a nafld diet. They are extremely low in carbs and fairly high in protein. Its important to understand what gave you your fatty liver though, so I would recommend meeting with a dietician. If that is not an option, then doing a food diary through an app like myfitness pal will help you zone in on what foods specifically are problem areas.

As Mintvcx said, eggs got a bad rap a while back. I think if you look at more modern articles, you'll see they're generally considered a healthy option.

I have found that what works for me is more of a balanced diet such as about 20-25% protein, 30-40% carb usually in form such as pinto beans or fruit, 30-40% fat mostly Olive oil. If I just eat all protein I do not feel well after I eat.
