If you have no risk factors or preexisting issues with high cholesterol levels, it’s generally safe to consume 1 to 3 eggs per day.
Always check with your healthcare provider but eating eggs daily can be beneficial for a pregnant, postpartum, or breastfeeding woman, as long as they are cooked thoroughly.
As previously mentioned, the choline in eggs is involved in brain development, and 90% of soon-to-be moms don’t meet the recommendations.
It’s recommended that a woman consumes 450 mg per day of choline when pregnant and 550 mg per day when breastfeeding. One egg contains about 150 mg of choline, so eating 3 eggs daily will ensure your baby’s brain development needs are met.
