There is anecdotal evidence that one should not eat more than 3 eggs per week because the yolks can increase cholesterol in the body. However, a study in the United States pointed out that eating more eggs is not only harmless, but eating 3 eggs a day can help reduce the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and even help reduce body fat.
The results found that the exploratory carbohydrate diet group lost an average of 9.7% of body fat; the low-fat diet group lost 2%. In addition, fasting insulin levels decreased in the low-carb diet group, which indirectly reduced the risk of diabetes and heart disease, and thigh skeletal muscle increased significantly in this group.
“Eggs are an important, nutrient-dense food source that is important for growth and maintenance of muscle mass,” said study co-author Amy Goss, assistant professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Alabama.
