How many times should I eat eggs on week?

With certain health conditions (or familial risks), it may be desirable to limit dietary cholesterol. For most people, that's not a major issue. Getting good overall nutrition, on average, is more important.

The number of eggs to eat? Not an answerable question. If you need to limit cholesterol because of familial hypercholesterolemia or something like that, it's the total cholesterol intake that matters, not the number of eggs as such.

If you don't have that kind of \ risk, just get enough protein, adequate fat (with good balance of monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, saturated; and of Omega-3/Omega-6, ideally), plenty of colorful veggies/fruits for micronutrients and fiber . . . and don't worry about counting eggs.

The poll is odd. Some people eat eggs daily, but you stop the options at 3 times a week. Some people eat eggs daily, often more than one egg each day. You also don't give any indication of how many eggs per time: If I eat a 3-egg omelet, is that 3 times or one time per week? 🤷‍♀️

I don't think I average more than half a dozen eggs most months, though it varies. That's not because I think they're bad for me, it's because I just don't love them enough to eat more of them.

If your doctor told you to eat fewer eggs only because your blood cholesterol is high, but you have zero family history of high cholesterol (especially if none among non-overweight relatives), I'd suggest asking your doctor for a referral to a registered dietitian to help you improve your eating habits in ways that will help you. Actually, I'd maybe suggest that even more so if you do have that kind of family history.

Others are right: If you need to limit dietary cholesterol, then limiting dietary cholesterol would be the goal (and your MFP food diary can be a help in that, as long as you're careful to choose food entries from the database that have accurate cholesterol numbers). Just counting eggs could leave you still getting high dietary cholesterol from other sources, y'know?

Most doctors have very limited nutritional education. They rely on generalities and rules of thumb, and may not be up to date on recent nutritional research. A registered dietitian would be the right professional to consult, if you have specialized medical-diet needs, IMO.

What are your HDL and LDL numbers?

Old Dr. Thinking. Limit of one egg per day, including the eggs in bread, casseroles, etc. Then the medical community decided that’s really not right. Some Doctors, etc. took that to mean maybe one a day, but don’t worry about the eggs used in cooking. Others thought it meant 2 eggs some days is fine. Others had their own ideas. I believe they all agree the yolk has the cholesterol, while the white is fine to eat unlimited.
The problem is, we’re all individuals. Foods affect us the way they affect US!
My answer, which is worth absolutely nothing. Use all the eggs you want to cook bread, etc. 2 eggs for a meal occasionally is fine.

I've been eating one egg each day, for more than two years now. And everything is good!

Barring a sensitivity to dietary cholesterol (about 10% of the population has it), I think that you can eat eggs like everything else in moderation, without special limits or set amounts. Cheers. C:

I've eaten 2 fried eggs, over easy, literally every morning for over 20 years. I'm 68 years old and have never had an issue.
