Nutritionist Dr. Artur Campos commented that the intake of certain nutrients has an average indication of consumption in accordance with the Dietary Reference Intakes recommendations, which are reference values for the intake of nutrients.
In this case, daily egg consumption should be up to two eggs, according to some health organizations.
“Some societies, such as cardiology, consider the maximum consumption of cholesterol equivalent to 300 mg, which would include the maximum two eggs a day, considering that each whole egg (yolk and white) has an average of 180 mg of cholesterol”, explained Campos to the news portal HQ.

Despite being the indication, analyzes are still unable to determine whether those who eat more than the average number of eggs have a greater chance of having some cardiovascular risk, such as stroke or myocardial infarction.
In any case, research shows that “bad” cholesterol can cause serious cardiovascular risks. Therefore, people should observe the cholesterol levels that are consumed, as well as the food source.
Therefore, daily consumption of eggs will not harm health, but people can take some measures, such as eating only the white when the quantity exceeds the average of two eggs per day, as the white is a food without cholesterol.
Eggs are sources of protein, vitamins B2, B12, D, A and essential nutrients, therefore, they should be part of the diet. But the key to healthy eating is diversity and balance.
Instead of focusing on extremely high amounts of a single food, the doctor's recommendation is to create an eating plan that includes a wide variety of nutritious foods.
