Is it OK to eat eggs every day? Because of their numerous benefits, it's OK to eat one whole egg, including the egg yolk, every day if you don't have cardiovascular disease and you do have a healthy level of blood cholesterol. Or you can mix two egg whites with every egg yolk to give yourself more protein.

Read More »Because of their numerous benefits, it’s OK to eat one whole egg, including the egg yolk, every day if you don’t have cardiovascular disease and you do have a healthy level of blood cholesterol. Or you can mix two egg whites with every egg yolk to give yourself more protein. If you do have cardiovascular disease or a high level of cholesterol, you should limit your egg consumption to just three to four whole eggs per week — a rule that’s also good for anyone who wants to have more than one egg at a time. The reason you want to try to avoid having more than one egg yolk each day is because yolk has saturated fat and can raise the level of LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) in your blood. While the food you eat isn’t the only factor in developing high cholesterol, it’s still important to keep them in mind when deciding what to put on your plate. “When cooking eggs, you also want to stay away from adding additional animal fats like butter, bacon grease and lard because those have saturated fats in them, too,” advises Campbell. “It’s better to use olive oil or some kind of plant-based oil instead, and you can jazz up egg whites without adding a lot of animal fat by sautéing them with vegetables, salsa or different herbs.” Because of the high cholesterol content in egg yolk, you may want to cut back if you have any of the following conditions: You should also consider purchasing pasture-raised or organic eggs because the yolk from those eggs tend to have less cholesterol and higher levels of lutein. In one study, researchers found consuming one egg a day significantly increased levels of lutein without elevating cholesterol levels. Campbell notes that some people over the age of 65 might be concerned about eating an egg every day because of the risk of high cholesterol. But studies have shown that cholesterol for people 65 and older is less affected by their diet than someone in their 30s and younger, so they can have up to two whole eggs per day if they have normal cholesterol levels. “For seniors, it might even be a greater source of protein,” says Campbell.
