Have you ever wondered how it's like to consume 900 eggs in the space of a month?

Probably not, but fitness enthusiast Joseph Everett took it upon himself to take the food challenge on, working out to 30 eggs a day for a month.

The content creator decided to test its effects after a bodybuilder claimed that it's an effective way to build muscle, to the same level as steroid injections.

Everett went out of way to stick with the routine no matter one, even facing health complications along the way.

He uploaded his journey on YouTube, in a video that has accumulated over 784,000 views.

Everett's channel, titled 'What I've Learned', has over 2.3 million subscribers and features videos of him speaking about health issues, beliefs about certain types of food, or even particular aspects about relationships.

What does the challenge involve?

With this challenge, he focused on a weightlifting-focused plan, measure his weight and performance in four standard gym exercises at the start, barbell lifts, a deadlift, squats and a bench press.

As well as this, the social media personality carried out blood tests throughout to measure his testosterone production and cholesterol levels, among other things.

Starting out at 78kg, he began his challenge, noting that he wasn't 'a serious lifter', but included it in his general gym routine.

So, he kicked on with his 30-egg-per-day challenge, also accompanying it with a bowl of rice, some beef, a small yogurt, and even fruit and honey.

Everett even occasionally threw a protein bar in, estimating that everything together would range between 3,300 to 3,700 calories per day, way over the daily recommendation of 2,500 for men.

Why eggs?

You don't have to be a genius to know that eggs are high in protein, and help to build and repair muscles.

As well as this, they have beneficial vitamins and minerals, such as calcium and iron, as he explained: "30 eggs gives me 190 grams of protein, my daily amount of vitamin A, 120 per cent of my vitamin D, tons of B vitamins."

He worried though that his cholesterol level would sky-rocket, and believed that the excess saturated fat that his body was taking in could be converted into testosterone, which would help with muscle growth when carrying out strength exercises.

What changes did Everett notice?

Increase in energy

Just nine days in, Everett started to started to see positive change in his behaviour, explaining that he was 'feeling pretty great' and had 'more focus', as well as a lot more energy.

He suggested that this due to the spike in testosterone.

Tummy problems

His biggest issue came 20 days in, as he explained: "I found myself stuck in the bathroom for over an hour, I was really constipated and my stomach kept painfully cramping up."

This stopped when he began cooking the egg whites again, with his digestive problems being caused by something called typsin inhibitors, which are found in raw eggs and can cause problems in the gut.

What were the results?

Going over his final blood results, Everett found almost no change in his LDL testosterone level, which he described as 'the bad cholesterol', with an increase of just six.

An increase in this type of cholesterol can lead to heart issues.

"My mood, focus, libido and energy all made it seem like I had higher testosterone but apparently not," he pointed out.

The good cholesterol in his body, HDL cholesterol, increased and Everett confessed that the challenge was quite easy.

"The first couple days weren't really all that hard for me... it's only about 3,500 calories and since I'm doing all that lifting I'm getting really hungry," he added.

He managed to gain six kilograms of muscle mass from his starting weight and improved his deadlift personal best by 20kg, while improving his bench press by 10kg.

Everett also found a decrease in triglycerides, a dangerous type of fat, in his blood - which can cause stroke or heart attacks.

The content creator concluded by admitting that he 'might do this again if I needed to bulk up.'
