Many people have heard that it is undesirable to eat more than two chicken eggs a day.

But is it necessary to follow this recommendation? Is it possible to break this rule?

It turns out that how old a person is and how active he is matters a lot.

In addition, you need to take into account your health status.

Some people can eat a maximum of one egg per day, while others can afford to eat six eggs at once.

How many eggs can you eat each day

If we are talking about a young person (or a middle-aged person) who has no health problems, but who does not exercise, then he can eat two (or even three) eggs a day.

Old age and the presence of health problems indicate the need to reduce the norm to one egg per day.

If a person does not complain about their health and leads an active lifestyle (we are talking about regular sports), then they can eat 5-6 eggs daily. However, they should not eat more than 20 eggs per week.

It is worth emphasizing: in all cases we are talking about boiled eggs. If the product was heat-treated in a frying pan, then a completely different rule must be followed.

Earlier we told you how many fried eggs you can eat per week.
