For most healthy adults, it's safe to eat 1–2 eggs a day, as long as they're consumed as part of an overall nutritious diet. This is because eggs are a good source of protein and other nutrients, and the cholesterol in eggs doesn't seem to have a significant negative impact on heart health for most people.
However, if you have cardiovascular disease or high cholesterol, you may want to limit your egg consumption to just three to four whole eggs per week.
Here's a breakdown of the recommended intake:
- Healthy adults: 1-2 eggs per day
- Individuals with cardiovascular disease or high cholesterol: 3-4 whole eggs per week
It's important to note that these are general guidelines and your individual needs may vary. If you have any concerns about your egg intake, talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian.
