what the experts say

NHS Choices

“Eggs are a good choice as part of a healthy, balanced diet. As well as being a source of protein, they also contain vitamins and minerals.”

"There is no recommended limit on how many eggs people should eat. But to get the nutrients you need, make sure you eat as varied a diet as possible.”

British Heart Foundation

“For most people there is currently no limit on the number of eggs that you can eat in a week. For most people, the amount of saturated fat they eat has much more impact on their cholesterol than eating foods that contain cholesterol, like eggs and shellfish.”
