Why not buy organic grass-fed eggs? They are way healthier and better choice if you're a frequent egg eater. You can get them at your local farmers market. I'm not sure about how many eggs one should consume per week. I don't think it really matters if you eat them everyday.

Tank,

There is NO cholesterol in egg whites, so if you like them eat them to your heart's content. With whole eggs (far tastier in my estimation,) if you are looking for a number, then perhaps 4 or 6 a week is a good max.
If you are going to eat them every day, then stick with the egg-whites most of the time.

Some people scramble one or two whites with one whole egg to make it taste better.

Good idea, but you can always purchase egg whites in a carton
