Maximum how many eggs should one eat in one week?

Question

How much is too much?
Do you know of any dangers of eating too many eggs?

Answer 1

Too many eggs can also raise your cholesterol to unhealthy levels. However, 3-4 egg yolks a week can be eaten without any problems. Egg whites are not limited because they don't contain the levels of cholesterol that the yolks do.

Answer 2

3 to 4

Answer 3

The Egg Board used to say 3 a week, otherwise you'll get high cholesterol. I think they've relaxed that in the past several years. Something like "if a casserole contains one egg, and you eat one serving of it, that doesn't really count as 1 egg." So they're kind of saying that you can't eat 4 hard boiled eggs, but 3, and the eggs in the meatloaf are negligible since it's not the main food. It is confusing.

Answer 4

10

Answer 5

They used to say to many is bad for you. Now I don't think it matters. Some weeks I'll eat 7 or 8 eggs in a week. Some weeks one if I'm lucky. I'm still here to talk about it. Eggs are a good source of protein.

Answer 6

dear User,
the average egg consumption is up to the average joe, butI I have recently had to put myself on a low cholesterol diet, myself for weight loss and my husband for very high cholesterol readings...trust me when I say it has been very hard to do as i have been used to cooking the good old fashioned way..lots of butter,creams,fried foods cakes pies all home made.
I found out that you need to consume only 300 gms of cholesterol per day and a whole egg runs anywhere from 190 to 219 grms of cholesterol depending on the size of the egg,now the egg white is absoultly free of anything, and I tried a new way to not eat the yellow what I did was add mrs Dash seasoning to it with salt and pepper to about 3 egg whites and its really is good.
The dangers of eating too many eggs is >high cholesterol and causes hardening of the arteries.so go easy on the eggs or try the new egg subsitutes! good luck

Answer 7

2 or 3, no more

Answer 8

one egg contains all the colesteral you should have for one day, so I'd limit eggs to about twice a week. Eggs are good for you, so don't cut them out of your diet completely.

Answer 9

As long as your not Lactose - intolerant, eat as many as you want. Eggs are nothing but good for you.
