For most healthy adults, it is generally safe to eat 1 to 2 eggs per day, depending on the rest of your diet and cholesterol intake

. Research suggests that consuming up to 2 eggs daily can be part of a nutritious diet without negatively impacting heart health, especially if you have normal cholesterol levels and no significant risk factors for heart disease

. If you have high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, or a family history of heart disease, it is often recommended to limit egg intake to about 4–5 eggs per week or no more than 1 egg per day

. For people at increased risk of heart disease, guidelines commonly suggest up to 6–7 eggs per week as part of a heart-healthy diet

. Children and teenagers may benefit from consuming eggs daily as well, with recommendations varying by age and activity level-typically 1 egg per day for children and up to 1–3 eggs for teenagers depending on their nutritional needs

. In summary:

• Healthy adults: 1–2 eggs per day is safe and beneficial for most.
• At-risk individuals (heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes): Limit to about 4–7 eggs per week.
• Children and teens: 1–3 eggs per day depending on age and activity.
• Pregnant women: Can safely consume eggs daily, ensuring proper cooking

The key is to consider your overall diet, cholesterol intake from other sources, and personal health conditions. Consulting a healthcare professional can help tailor egg consumption to your individual needs

. Eggs provide valuable protein, vitamins, and minerals, and can be part of a balanced diet when eaten in moderation and prepared healthily (e.g., boiled, poached, or cooked with healthy oils)
