For those looking for a nutrient rich, easy to prepare protein source.
We have our own chickens, and my wife and I eat more far eggs than are traditionally recommended. And yet our cholesterol levels (and LDL/HDL ratios) have never been a problem.
While eggs — particularly the yolk — are high in fat, they are full of vitamins, minerals, protein and healthy omega-3 fats. The yolk is packed with nutrients, so there’s no need to opt for egg-whites only.
Eggs do not significantly raise cholesterol in the blood, the Mayo Clinic reports, and people who replace a grain-based breakfast with eggs have been found to eat fewer calories over the day.
Nutrition journal suggests new guidelines for egg consumption
We know eggs make a healthy, affordable and tasty meal — but now research has revealed just how many of them it is safe to eat in a week.
And in good news for lovers of a frittata or scramble, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found there were no adverse effects from having as many as 12 over seven days.
The researchers found that weight loss was similar over a year for people on a low-egg (two a week) and a high-egg (12 a week) diet.
They discovered that even participants with type-2 diabetes did not suffer adverse effects from eating a diet high in eggs such as inflammation, cardiometabolic risk levels or raised glucose levels.
“A healthy diet based on population guidelines and including more eggs than currently recommended by some countries may be safely consumed,” concluded the researchers.
It has prompted a call for a review of the National Heart Foundation guidelines, which recommend just six eggs a week.

Just don’t store them in your fridge door.
