    No more than 7 per week is what I think OP is talking about. Used to be a common recommendation.

    It's one I (daringly or not) ignore. I usually eat 2 eggs in an omelet around 5 mornings per week, and sometimes eggs at a non breakfast meal, so I'll average around 12 per week, although sometimes I go through stages where I am tired of them and eat less or even none. My guess is around 500 per year. ;-)

    Right, a week. I should have read my own post before hitting reply. Thanks.
    I guess I've never heard that exact edict before. hmm.

    I eat about 12 egg whites per week...if I do fry whole eggs I will usually do one with 2 or 3 egg whites.

    It varies. Probably 1 a day on average.

    Usually 2-3 per day. Hard boiled egg for breakfast, lunch and late afternoon snack before dinner. Adding a hard boiled egg at meals has helped keep me full and satisfied.

    0-3 per week. Any more or more often than that and I get gastro issues.

    I'd like to eat more eggs (they're low cal and I find them filling), and occasionally I can have a couple (like once every 3 or 4 months) ... but if I have any more than that within the next week or so, I'm in agony. Feels like my gallbladder area.

    So, I think the last time I had eggs was on holiday at the end of June ... and I didn't feel particularly well that night or the next day.

    I eat a hardboiled egg every single day during the workweek for a snack. On the weekends, I might eat 2 eggs a day for breakfast, so I'm definitely a little over that.

    My husband and I raise chickens and always have an abundance of eggs...I eat a minimum of 2 per day and sometimes 3 or even 4 if I eat them for 2 different meals.

    Usually none. Only on days that i make breakfast for dinner because I don't eat actual breakfast (in the mornings)

    I eat 2 for breakfast almost every day. And I sometimes eat more at other meals or in recipes.

    I eat as many eggs as I want! Some days I have none, some days I have 2-4. It just depends on what I feel like eating. Recent research indicates that the link between diary cholesterol and blood cholesterol is not as sound as we once thought; I don't worry about it as long as I'm eating a variety of good foods.

    Cheap. High protein. YES. I go through 3 doz ish a week. So that's... five a day, on average. Maybe a little more. We get 4 dozen at the store, but my husband eats some of them.

    In fairness, I do almost always separate mine and eat just the (cooked!) whites.

    2 for breakfast nearly every day; sometimes 1-2 more. Best thing I know of for chasing the hunger demons away.

    I don't have them every day but if I'm averaging it from a weeks worth probably about 1-2 whole eggs per day. I'm not a fan of skipping out on the yolk either.
