In the articles you read - what reasons were given for eggs being unsafe?
In my opinion eggs are the real McCoy when it comes to superfoods. I have a 'no limit' on my egg consumption.
I think I worry as I am trying to get my cholesterol down and I don’t want anything to make it worse.
Could you post a link, please? One that explains what bad things will happen if you eat more?
Three or four a day seems quite reasonable - 3 egg omelette for breakfast and a boiled egg as a protein snack, for example.
I tend to eat eggs most days because they are truly low carbohydrate and high fat.
Eggs don't directly increase your cholesterol levels and anyway high cholesterol levels are now thought to be a good thing, especially as you get older.
Hi I’ve just read things where it has diabetics shouldn’t have more than three of four eggs a week and I wondered if that was true?

I think the myths about cholestrol and eggs have largely been 'unscrambled' (sorry - just couldn't resist).
Eggs are a versatile food and a great source of protein.
The American Diabetes Association considers eggs an excellent choice for people with diabetes. That’s primarily because one large egg contains about half a gram of carbohydrates, so it’s thought that they aren’t going to raise your blood sugar.
Eggs are high in cholesterol, though. One large egg contains nearly 200 mg of cholesterol, but whether or not this negatively affects the body is debatable.
Monitoring your cholesterol is important if you have diabetes because diabetes is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. High levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream also raise the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. But dietary intake of cholesterol doesn’t have as profound an effect on blood levels as was once thought. So, it’s important for anyone with diabetes to be aware of and minimize other heart disease risks.
I have about 3 a day, might go up to 5 or so if they're in salads or somesuch, besides my scrambled or sunny side ups... Eggs are friendly for your bloodsugar. Have as many as you like!Hi I’ve read conflicting information about how many eggs a week are safe for diabetics. Does anyone know what it should be please? I am type 2 and not on any meds.
Thanks!
