    I eat 2 whole boiled eggs every morning. It keeps me full and keeps me from snacking while waiting for supper.

    An omelette made with 1 egg and 1/3 cup egg white - no specific meal. Sometimes I feel its perfect for dinner

    0-2 per day. One with breakfast, most days, and then one "in" something else, most days. Probably about 8 per week I would guess. Husband does the same and we go through at least a dozen every week.

    Maybe 1-2 per week spread throughout baking/cooking. My husband eats 2 every day for breakfast. If you have genetically messed-up cholesterol (familial hypercholesterolemia) you probably shouldn't eat a lot, but everybody else is probably OK. B)

    None during the week, 3 - 4 total on weekends.

    i usually eat 3 whole eggs for breakfast. and sometimes more during the day. sometimes only egg whites, but sometimes whole eggs. I can easily polish off 6 eggs in a day.

    PS - my bad cholesterol is lower than the low on that scale thing every time I do my yearly blood tests. and my good cholesterol is higher than the high. it befuddles my doctor every time.

    Dietary and blood cholesterol are two completely different things, if that is why you were told to limit eggs. If you like eggs, eat eggs. I don't think 2-3 per day is unrealistic.

    An egg every morning. Sometimes for lunch an egg white veggie omelet - 2 whites, 1 whole egg. When I do all e.g. white, it just doesn't stay with me. Cholesterol numbers are perfect, so I'm not worried. Love eggs ... great source of protein and very versatile. And every other minute the news changes as to what is good for you. I remember when coffee and red wine were the enemy. Now they prolong life. Go figure. Who knows what it will be tomorrow? I think only people with heart/cholesterol issues really need to watch their egg amounts.
