You probably know that a six egg omelette for every meal isn’t the answer. So how many should you really be eating, and are they safe to eat every day?

According to the NHS, there is no recommended limit on how many eggs people should eat. Some studies show that having two or three eggs a day can increase the ‘good’ type of cholesterol which is what we associate with improved heart health and lower risk of heart disease and stroke. And yes, that’s the whole egg, not just the white. “The egg yolk is minimised and thought to just be about fat - when it actually offers so much more than that,” says Ariana.

In fact, the yolk contains half of the protein and most of the other vitamins and minerals. “The vitamin A is what gives it that yellow, orangey or reddish colour, so the darker the yolk the more vitamin A you’re getting,” Ariana adds.

Take it from a registered dietician - if you’re eating a balanced diet, you’ve probably got nothing to worry about.
