    For me ... none. Maybe 1 or 2 per month.
  • Dang. That didn’t work. It was meant to be a gif of Cool Hand Luke. 🤗

    What specifically are your concerns about eating "too many"?

    Depends on how close you are to your co-workers!

    Depends on the day. I think there are 22 raw eggs in my refrigerator today (stocked up for Christmas baking and ended up doing mostly fudge and caramel popcorn, and only needed eggs for pecan-hazelnut shortbread).

    So, without going to the store, I can eat 22 boiled eggs today for snacks.

    That wouldn't leave me a lot of calories for meals, but since I'd be concentrating on plant foods for fiber and other nutrients that don't come in shells -- oops, make that eggs, as I don't want to rule out nuts -- it would probably work out OK. Although I might be too full food malls after 22 boiled eggs for snacks. And, as much as I like boiled eggs, I might be tired of them after a dozen or so.

    I normally just have 1 medium egg, but as others have said you can eat as many as your heart desires within your calorie goal!

    I eat three eggs almost every day for breakfast, sometimes another two as a snack. I get my stats checked annually and no issues with my cholesterol. I think eggs have gotten a bad rap.

    I went through a phase once where I had 4-6 per day. I love hard boiled eggs.

    Nearly four years ago, I also did the math out to see how many you needed to eat to meet my nutritional goals: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10088005/eating-20-eggs-in-one-day/p1. If you're curious, the answer is 20. (Notseriousnotseriousnotserious)

    For whatever reason, they put my gallbladder into screaming pain ... the kind of pain that keeps you awake all night.

    I like eggs. I wish I could eat more. I go a couple months without them and feel good and think I'll give them another try ... but nope.

    For me personally: 0- 1 because I don't like eggs very much. Most days I do not snack on boiled eggs.
    For you: as many as you like that fit your goals I guess.

    however many you want/fit into your calorie goals?
  • I’m doing meal prep right now- cutting up veggies and getting smoothies ready for the freezer- a weeks worth of good intentions. Now I sorta feel like I should boil some eggs too! Lol. Thanks for reminding me that they are a handy snack.

    I'm guessing you might have been/are on Weight Watchers. As I understand, eggs are a "Zero Point Food". MFP works a bit differently in how calories and other macros are tracked. On MFP unless a food has 0 calories you count the calories.

    I don't snack, so none for snacks. I could eat 1-3 as part of a meal, but that's just me. Your answer will likely be different. What are you thinking?

    I eat many egg whites... three for breakfast... and then I eat them for quick snacks..as I always pair any carb or fruit with protein. They're portable ...and great grab and go item to keep you on your diet.

    Aha, good possible explanation for the impetus for the question, thanks!

    Deviled eggs, egg salad — all made from hard boiled eggs.
    Tasty little guys. Don’t think I could do more then 4.

    Ps I can’t watch that Cool Hand Luke video — can’t do it! 😉
