Eat your eggs. I gun down 3-4 most days w low fat ham & cheese. Delicious & never hungry for hours afterwards.

Yep I've noticed it keeps u full for longer time till ur lunch especially if u have ur breakfast early in the morning

Glad to see you actually have breakfast. So many people say they don't. I have mine at 6:30 every day and get to work by 7:30

Everything that I have read recently (past few years) indicates it’s ok to eat up to 3 eggs per day for most people

From a *scientific* perspective, the meta-study says we know with a high degree of certainty that eating 1 egg per day (or 7 per week) is OK. From a *scientific* perspective, we don't have enough data to know with a high degree of certainty that eating more than 1 egg per day has the same low level of risk. At least we didn't as of 2013, and I'm not aware of more recent extensive meta-studies that suggest otherwise.

This dietician says eggs are OK, and cites the article I linked. Her conclusion: one egg per day is OK for most people, not 3 eggs per day.

I've seen other articles that say two is OK, others saying three is OK. Some even say eat all you want. Although everything you've read may say three a day is OK, there are plenty of other articles that give a different number. Government recommendations tend to be on the conservative side, which is the point of what I said in my post. That means government recommendations are usually based on a very low level of uncertainty regarding risk based on current research.

By choosing to eat 3 days an egg, you're therefore accepting a slightly higher level of uncertainty with regard to level of risk. That's a personal choice. I eat one egg a day most days, and have a three-egg breakfast with friends every other week. That's my choice, and I'm not recommending it to anyone else. Am I increasing the probability of a heart attack or stroke by doing so? Probably -- but my guess is that the added risk is so low that it pales in comparison to the risk of being obese, or being a smoker or heavy drinker.

Just saying, isn’t that true about a lot of foods, and drugs for that matter. Not enough testing to support any 100% conclusions for everyone.
Just this past week “heart healthy” oatmeal is taking a hit for cancer causing residue from traces of Roundup in the oat based cereals many of us are eating.

Generally speaking, eggs are a good source of protein, economical & nutritious, and readily available, for many of us. I have eaten eggs, several times per week, all my life (almost 67 years) and have great cholesterol levels, no history of familial heart disease.

Those who have health issues or a family history with hiealth issues that may be affected by eating eggs should probably consult with their health care professionals for advice.
