How many eggs you should eat in a day

Poached, fried, boiled, baked or scrambled; most of us breakfast lovers enjoy eggs.

Eggs on toast with smashed avo on the side anyone?

If you’ve wondered how good our yolky friends are, a dietician has said that it’s ok to eat up to three whole eggs a day.

Accredited practicing dietician, Robbie Clark told Body+Soul, “Research has suggested this is a safe amount for people who are trying to maintain a healthy diet.”

While this means people could eat up to 21 eggs a week, he says most people don’t eat them every day.

When choosing your toast, always go with a wholemeal or wholegrain option.

“My personal favourite is a dark rye sourdough,” Robbie tells Body+Soul. He also recommends only one piece (sorry bread lovers).

As for the egg yolk; while it is the part of egg that contains fat, you shouldn’t necessarily remove it from your diet.

Keri Gans, R.D, author of The Small Change Diet tells Women’s Health Magazine, “All the fat soluble vitamins are found in yolk, so if you remove that, yes, you are removing fat, but you also remove a lot of nutritional value.”

So there you go – yolks can stay on the menu and you can have up to three eggs a day according to the health experts.

This is egg-cellent news.
