    Amen to that.

    In fact, I don't even care for chicken eggs any more. Give me duck eggs any day.

    Yummy! I love duck eggs! I eat three (chicken) eggs a day.

    My doctor told me my high cholesterol level was more due to genetics than my diet but still said to limit my whole egg consumption and definitely avoid coconut and anything containing coconut oil. I now have 1 or two whole eggs per week but a lot more egg white, which has plenty of protein without the fatty yolk.

    As long as you are not Diabetic, you can safely consume 6-7 whole eggs a week. Just watch the trimmings that often are served with them ... bacon, ham, pancakes or toast, etc.

    I am a Diabetic and I still eat about 4 eggs a week ... I sneek an egg into my porridge a couple of times a week to make it more filling and nutrient rich and enjoy an egg as a late snack a couple more times a week. My LDL did go up when I put eggs back into my diet, and I cut back on how many I was getting each week because of it. My next blood work is coming up and I'll be paying close attention to those numbers.
