Good day, Mr. Jelínek,
I am interested in knowing what level of egg consumption is considered excessive. Is there any general recommendation for how many eggs per week are still considered within the norm?
Thank you in advance for your reply.
There is no consensus that can be supported by scientific evidence. However, it appears that the consumption of up to 3 whole eggs per day is completely safe for healthy individuals and has no negative impact on their health. Typically, the literature recommends 6 eggs per week for women and 9 eggs per week for men.
