I read in menshealth recently that having more than 2 eggs per week is harmful.
But due to certain reason chicken, eggs and whey will have to be my main soucres of protein
I also read that eggs white are an incomplete source of protein. SO it seems quite pointless taking egg whites.
Will I die if I eat more than 4 eggs per week?

On a serious note, you won't die if you eat a couple eggs a day unless you already have a cholesterol problem. Personally, I eat 2-3 whole eggs a day, plus an additional 8-10 egg whites.

You should still be fine. I can't see any reason why you'd die.
Do you have good cholesterol and is there any history of heart problems in your family or with you? If that's all good then I wouldn't worry.
Thre's a lot of things around now saying that dietary cholesterol doesn't really affect blood cholesterol though.

Prays:
Dear God, please strike down the editors of MensHealth Magazine with your almighty fists of thundering wrath. Amen.
If eating more than 2 eggs per week was harmful, we'd all be dead. I'd be dead. What?? I go get my physical, and every time I do, I hear that I'm very healthy, have perfect blood pressure, and my cholesterol levels are at a healthy range. And I eat 2 eggs a day, on top of my egg whites!! Eggs are one of the most complete protein sources you can get, so I don't know where the idea came from that they're an incomplete protein, cause that's pure bullsh*t.
You like eggs? Eat them. Don't throw out the yolk, it contains almost half the protein, and all the vitamins. They're good for you, and an awesome source of inexpensive protein.^_^
