I don't eat a lot of eggs, and it varies week to week. I would say a month's average would be 9 or 10 eggs. Not counting any eggs in recipes.
Eggs are not the problem....I didn't move to Charleston SC only to start worrying about my cholesterol. The local shellfish population should be worried about me !!!
Saw a sign is a local restaurant that says "If you're worried about Cholesterol, Alcohol or Protocol -- you're in the wrong place"
10-12 eggs a week and my cholesterol level has not changed. I've always been bw 160-180. Each person reacts differently so do what I did and experiment with it.
A large container of egg beaters that's equivalent to two and one half dozen. If I run out by midweek, I pick up a dozen eggs, using only the whites. So in all, roughly 42 eggs a week. That's my main source for protien.
A few years ago my wife added more fat to her diet
a couple hard boiled eggs a day? Scrambled eggs in the morning? breakfast for dinner?
I think I might realistically have a couple eggs once a month (not including eggs in other things).
no time in the morning and at night never feel like eggs.
In college many weekend nights we'd hit the diner late night for the 2 eggs home fries an toast special for $1.95 (mid-90's), but that was the total egg consumption I'd have.

Scrambled or over easy with bacon, ham or sausage, or in an omelet. I'd like to eat more egg salad for lunch, but I rarely think about in far enough in advance to hardboil and cool the eggs.
careful with causation when saying eating or not eating changes this or that without looking at all factors of ones diet in and around those changes, including exercise, stress, drugs, alcohol and other external influences.
I then spent 3 months trying to lower the number naturally so I wouldn't have to start taking statins. I exercised more, cut out fried foods, ate more fiber and omega-3s and limited saturated fats, but I did NOT reduce my consumption of eggs (about 10 a week) or shrimp. After 3 months, my cholesterol number came down by almost 120 points.
Anecdotal and not scientific, but at least for me, the dietary cholesterol did not seem to have any negative effect.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience, that's very helpful info for a lot of us who share the OP's concern.
