A client asked me, “how many eggs is it good to eat per week.”
She’s trying to increase her protein intake to build more muscle and support her bones.
I told her as many as she would like! Within reason, of course.
1-3 eggs per day, depending on activity levels, would be ideal for her.
I’m a big fan of eggs. They are a nutrient dense source of high protein at a low price point, and very satiating. And, a great addition to her diet to help her achieve her goals.
Keep in mind that how many eggs someone could eat will vary from person to person, and be dependent upon daily activity.
