How many eggs is it safe to eat in one day?

I have a carton of Costco eggs I suspect will be going bad very soon, and I'm trying to eat them all before they rot.

I ate four for lunch today - two hardboiled with salt and pepper, two fried over buttered rice and veggies.

Would it be okay if I ate four more tonight?
 
If it's just a one time thing I don't think it'll hurt you.

But at max I'd eat 3 extra larges at a sitting. Anymore then it's too much 😛

I wouldn't know how many is safe, but I feel strange after having 3.

60 egg. 🙁 I forgot it was in my fridge and recently discovered it.

Do you think it'd be better if I just cooked and ate the whites and threw away the yolks?
 
I don't think eating a bunch in one day will hurt you. The most that will happen is you'll get some horrible feces, or vomit.
 
Egg whites are very healthy. Its the yolk that has all the nasty stuff in it (although its what makes eggs taste good).

Are you on a diet or eating healthy or anything? If not, then don't worry and eat as many as you can, its not like eggs are aspirin or anything, you can't exactly overdose.

10-12 eggs a day is absolutely safe, IMHO.

Only if you eat it with a pound of semi cooked bacon smathered in Mernaise. (filthy dirty south style.)
 
There's no limit to how many eggs you can eat in a day for most people. For me it's about 3 or 4, as I have problems with (of all things) certain sulfur compounds.

Trust me, your body will let you know when you've had enough. If you take a bite and it tastes like battery acid that's a message to stop.
