Frequently Asked Questions
How many eggs should I eat per day?
For most healthy adults, 1-3 eggs per day is safe and beneficial. If you have heart disease, diabetes, or a history of high cholesterol, talk to your doctor.
Is it safe to eat eggs every day?
Yes. Studies have shown that daily egg consumption is not associated with increased heart disease risk in healthy people.
Are brown eggs healthier than white eggs?
No. Shell color depends on the breed of chicken, not the nutritional content.
Are raw eggs safe?
Not recommended. Raw eggs carry a risk of salmonella. Cook your eggs.
Can I eat eggs if I have high cholesterol?
It depends. Some people are “hyper-responders” to dietary cholesterol. Talk to your doctor. For most people, eggs are fine.
Do eggs need to be organic or free-range to be healthy?
No. Conventional eggs are still nutritious. Free-range or pasture-raised eggs may have higher omega-3 content, but the difference is small.
What’s the healthiest way to cook eggs?
Boiled or poached (no added fat). Scrambled or fried in a small amount of healthy oil (olive, avocado, coconut) is also fine.
