📋 Short Answer
Yes. For most people, 1-3 eggs daily is safe and nutritious.
The Full Story
Eggs were demonized for decades due to cholesterol (373mg/egg). Current evidence: dietary cholesterol has minimal impact on blood cholesterol for 70% of people ("hyper-responders" see a mild increase in both LDL and HDL — ratio stays neutral). A 2020 Harvard study of 215,000 people found no association between 1 egg/day and heart disease risk. Eggs are one of the most nutrient-dense foods: complete protein, choline (brain), lutein/zeaxanthin (eyes), vitamin D, B12. The bigger concern is what you eat WITH eggs (bacon, white toast, fried in butter).
⚠️ Who Should Be Cautious
- Hyper-responders to dietary cholesterol (check blood work)
- Familial hypercholesterolemia
- Some doctors still recommend <3 eggs/week for those with existing heart disease
