I've read conflicting information on how many eggs one can eat per day:
How many eggs a day can you safely eat? Apparently, as many as you want, if you pay attention to your total calorie intake and are careful about carbohydrate intake. If you have diabetes, you can safely eat eggs too, but will need to be particularly attentive to carbohydrates and blood sugar control.
A 2008 report from the Physicians Health Study backs up Smith’s suggestion, finding that eating one egg per day is generally safe—but that more than that can increase your heart disease risk later in life. (Note that we’re talking about yolks here. You can have unlimited whites.)
More details:
- The individual is healthy, BMI of 20, has no major medical condition, and regarding sports activities walks 30 minutes per day.
- Eggs are large chicken eggs of large size (50 grams)
- I am looking for an approximate upper bound on the number of eggs one can eat per day on average while staying healthy in the long run.
