Are eggs bad for fatty liver?
I was recently diagnosed with fatty liver, and I'm very careful about what I eat now. My doctor gave me a general diet plan, but didn't mention eggs specifically. Are eggs considered bad for someone with fatty liver?

I had Grade 2 fatty liver last year and managed to reverse it. Eggs are not bad, but you must avoid the yolk if your cholesterol is high. Stick to egg whites and cut down on sugar and refined carbs completely.

With thyroid, my metabolism is slow and that contributed to my fatty liver. I get my blood work done regularly and my doctor advised keeping eggs in my diet for protein, but in controlled amounts.

It is so scary when you get a fatty liver report, you feel like you can't eat anything safely anymore. Please don't panic. Eggs in moderation, especially whites, are quite safe and nutritious.

I have high BP and mild fatty liver, so lifestyle change was a must for me. I eat boiled eggs now and make sure to get my liver function tests done every six months to stay on top of it.

I completely understand the anxiety, I couldn't sleep for days when I saw my liver ultrasound report. But eggs are actually rich in choline, which is good for the liver. Just eat them boiled and stay calm.

My liver decided to store fat like it's a bank account! Honestly, my doctor said egg whites are fine, but I had to say goodbye to my favorite double-egg cheese omelet. Ah, old age!
