How many eggs a day is appropriate?
Some people think that eggs contain a lot of nutrients, and it is good for some people with weak constitution to eat more eggs. As we all know, the human body's daily absorption of protein is limited. Eggs, especially yolk, are very rich in cholesterol, but the cholesterol that the human body can absorb every day must be controlled below 300 mg. The cholesterol content of an egg is about 220 mg.

Therefore, for a healthy adult, one egg a day is enough. In addition, pregnant women, lactating women and weak people can eat two or three eggs a day. But if you eat more than three eggs a day, it will not only cause hypercholesterolemia, but also cause indigestion, loss of appetite, constipation and other problems.

Second, what principles should be followed when eating eggs?

Don't eat raw eggs.

In real life, some people will like to eat raw eggs, thinking that it will be healthier, but in fact this is unscientific. When hens lay eggs, salmonella carried in chicken manure may remain on the eggshell, which may even lead to death in severe cases. Moreover, the two layers of egg membranes inside the eggshell will also break with the passage of time, which will make other bacteria invade and threaten human health. And if you eat raw eggs, it may lead to loss of appetite, general weakness, muscle pain, skin inflammation and other symptoms.

2. Don't throw away the yolk.

The nutritional content of egg yolk is much higher than that of protein. The intake of egg yolk can also promote the development of brain and bones and effectively promote blood circulation. In life, there are always many people who don't eat yolk when eating eggs. This may simply be that you don't like the taste of egg yolk, but many people think that eating egg yolk is easy to get fat. In fact, one or two eggs don't produce as much fat as expected, so don't worry.

3, it is best to eat in the morning.

Eggs are a very nutritious food. Eating an egg in the morning will make you more energetic all day. Because eggs can provide energy and adequate nutrition for the human body, breakfast can be said to be the best time to eat eggs. Moreover, there are many ways to make eggs, which can be made into cakes or custard, nutritious and delicious.
