I just noticed the egg carton said 65% cholesterol /egg.
I'm 26 workout 3 days a week and my other 4 days are no activity at all(office job)
Should I be looking for a different alternative ?

Blood cholesterol levels have not been shown to contribute to heart conditions on their own, so as long as you don't have other problems you should be fine. I'm also pretty sure that the cholesterol found in egg yolks is not fully absorbed by the body (I'm not 100% on the science behind this, but I'm sure other posters will know more.)
Having said that, I am not a doctor, so if you are concerned get yourself checked.

In the short term, I'd be interested to see how it impacts upon your health if you continue eating those for a prolonged period of time. I wouldn't recommend you do this.
The trouble with the negative egg research is that it's never done any conclusive long term studies, which is why so much is a blur and people find it hard to know what to believe.

You cooked crack into eggs? fuk me...lol
Get out of here with referencing bb.com studies.
Actually no, you referenced a bb.com study, I cant take anything seriously you say now, ever again, next you will be telling us bananas increase your test by 300%
Eating six eggs wouldnt raise that HDL to high enough levels to harm you, I assume you are meaning the ldl would be very high or low too, not a healthy split?
And at 5g of fat per egg, thats only a tiny amount of fat, 30g lol, please tell me you are not eating under 30g of fat?Eat the damn yolk.

Not eating below 30 grams of fat, but 30 grams in one meal of eggs (not to mention anything else in that meal that consists of fat such as any meats/carbs)? I wouldn't do that, however feel free IIFYM.
Again, my opinion is not fact, never intended for it to be.
I am here to learn, so if my opinion is "wrong" then I will learn. Maybe this was premature, but honestly, can any of you provide the studies/sources of your information so I can research more, and form a better opinion.

Since you want to learn
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18203890
"These results suggest that including eggs in a CRD results in increased HDL-C while decreasing the risk factors associated with MetS."
Weakness of the study: Carbohydrate restricted diet, they were most likely hypocaloric. I am assuming because I am too lazy to go through the study.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16340654
Talks about how there is no link between CHD and eggs, in fact eggs may improve your health
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23128450
improves carotenid status.
Pretty much it increases your HDL which is a good thing.
Dietary cholesterol only affects 15% of your total cholesterol, it may however create a spike before levels are checked.
Even then total cholesterol doesnt play as big of a role as we though it was. look up the french paradox. I am not familiar with their ratio or triglyceride levels thoughFrom Houston, now I am in San Diego

Quote of the day, but I still have to spread my measly 20point butter around before repping you again.
OP: At minimum I eat 30eggs every Mon-Fri. It changes as my meals do, however looking at receipts (which I keep as a budgeter!) I've eaten on average 44 per week in the last 2.5months (taking into account eggs my GF eats and some that are occasionally 'wasted' in cakes for friends).
I'm a big reader on the latest egg related studies (lame, but you have no idea how often I have to defend my eggs!) and I've never found anything (recent) that would stop me eating them. Anecdotally this many eggs has had no negative effect for me, although i've never had my HDL or LDL levels measured to confirm the conclusions of the studies.

Over the course of the 21 years I've been bodybuilding, I've seen study results shift back and forth, showing pro-eggs one time, con-eggs the next, and so on. I got desensitized to them (egg studies) to a point where I disregarded them all, and simply became my own 'study.' I eat an average of two dozen eggs a week, and have been since 1993. The blood panel results from my most recent physical (a couple of months ago) showed a total blood cholesterol reading of 167. My doc says anything under 200 is good, and my results were "outstanding." It might also be noted that I eat red meat at least once per day, and eat full-fat dairy products as well.
I realize that n=1 is not statistically significant, but I am a consistent eater, and have been for all those years, so I feel my experience has at least some value to others.No brain, no gain.
