How many eggs is too many eggs?
Can I eat 2 a day as a meat eater?

You can eat as many eggs as you would like. Why would you think otherwise?

They are high-ish in cholesterol aren't they. I wouldn't eat more than 2a day personally. I'm vegetarian and quite often have one or two eggs in place of meat or fish if the rest of the family is having something non-veggie.

@WildCherryBlossom that's a myth debunked a very long time ago.

2 or 3 a day is fine, they are high in the good cholesterol and are very good for you, especially if the birds are free ranged on grass (increases the omega 3).

Great for protein and B vitamins.
