The reason why you should not eat too many eggs is because eggs are high in cholesterol and saturated fat content, which can raise your LDL or bad cholesterol and increase your risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Eating too many eggs can also increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes as well as cause digestive issues, including bloating and possible diarrhea.
Also ensure that the eggs are cooked properly as you could get foodborne illnesses.
Eggs contain saturated fatty acids that are proven to drive up your blood cholesterol.
This increase in blood cholesterol is, especially risky for "egg hyper responders" whose blood cholesterol levels spike dramatically when eating too many eggs.
A single egg also contains around 186 mg of cholesterol.
And consuming an extra 300 mg of dietary cholesterol per day is also associated with a greater higher risk of cardiovascular disease and all cause mortality.
Eating too many eggs at one time can also result in bloating, gas and digestive discomfort due to the high protein and fat content.
And the high protein load from eating too many eggs over a long period can also place undue strain on your kidneys and liver, especially for people that have already existing kidney issues.
It's suggested that when eating eggs, that you limit your consumption of eggs to around 7 eggs a week.
And for people that have existing heart disease or diabetes, the American Heart Association also recommends that you adopt early dietary patterns that restrict dietary cholesterol and lean more toward egg whites or plant based protein alternatives.
Some people can eat more eggs than others and be just fine, but it's best to limit the eggs to at least 7 eggs a week.
