Hi all,
Just wondering how many eggs a day everyone eats. I'd like views on how many we should eat health wise. I pretty much have two a day, either hard boiled or poached......I could easily have four!

    I normally have 3 egg whites. Whole eggs? I normally have 2. It's not recommended to have more than that per day. and I don't have whole eggs every day, probably twice a week.

    Eggs are high in cholesterol so I eat just the whites (2 or 3 a day)

    Because of the cholesterol, I limit myself to 2-3 eggs a day, 2-3 times a week.

    Since they are pretty much the most nutritionally dense things on earth, I recommend eating some yolk. I do 1 whole egg to 1 egg white when I make scrambles or omelets.

    I used to average almost one a day (2 eggs sunny side up 3x a week). Now I've switched to egg whites and eat them via omelettes. Still the same amount by minus the yolks.

    I figure I'll treat myself down the road with good ole sunny side up (once a month) when I get out of the 300's in a few weeks.

    Two egg whites everyday unless I have calories to spare. I eat whole eggs poached or hard/or soft boiled.

    Just started eating eggs again... 3 large, or 4 med, whites only. Used to eat 1 whole egg, but too much cholesterol.

    Two if it's the whole egg (tamagoyaki :3) or four if I'm just eating the whites.

    I normally have 3 egg whites with my breakfast, or if I have a hard boiled egg for a snack at work, I have one, usually. I try to get my proteins from my other meats and sources throughout the day, and if I'm really behind, I have a protein shake, usually make with either skim milk or coffee in the evenings.

    Also, egglands best uses a special feed (and special hen) to get low cholesterol eggs. We had some on our ranch once, and they seemed pretty normal to me. Worth a try!

    Any more than two whole eggs a day is going to be pretty rough on your cholesterol levels.. I eat eggs on most mornings but instead of 2 large eggs I eat 1/2 cup of eggbeaters, scrambled, for only 60 calories. And 0 cholesterol :)

    A breakfast of eggbeaters w/ 1/4 c shredded mozzarella and a bowl of oatmeal keeps me full all day, from 730 when I eat breakfast until 1215 when I have my lunch. Eggbeaters are great!!

    If I'm making them, always 4 whole eggs. Usually only once or twice per week.

    anywhere from 2 to 4 whole eggs. I hate plain whites and you dont get nearly as much protein. Just watch fat and cholesterol if you eat a bunch.
