We know eggs make a healthy, affordable and tasty meal — but now research has revealed just how many it is safe to eat in a week.
And in good news for lovers of a frittata or scramble, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found there were no adverse effects from having as many as 12 over seven days.
The researchers found that weight loss was similar over a year for people on a low-egg (two a week) and a high-egg (12 a week) diet.
They discovered that even participants with type-2 diabetes did not suffer adverse effects from eating a diet high in eggs such as inflammation, cardiometabolic risk levels or raised glucose levels.
