6-8 may be a bit too extreme , 3-4 would be better ...........

well 8 eggs has 40g fat. too much!
bump
each egg has about 5 grams of fats (saturated mainly ) so that's a total of 40g for 8 whole eggs. Depending on your c/p/f ratio you may wanna limit your intake of whole eggs and get some unsaturated fats from some other source iinstead .e olive oil, flax oil, fish. The egg whites are fine though as you can eat as many as you want.

so i get in around 100-130g of fat a day!
BTW the eggs i buy/eat have 4.5g of fat total and only 1.5 sat. fat per egg.
so its only 12g of sat. fat from 8 eggs
i also eat tons of salmon, and/or supplement with 12-20 fish oil caps a day, so i'm good with the omega-3s...
but you guys still think 6-8 whole eggs are no good???
what should concern me the most: the sat. fat or the cholesterol???
thanks a ton!"One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing to devote our attention to eating..."

eggs are very healthy, eat as many as you want, just make it fit in into your daily calorie content.
for keto? LOL eat as many as you want bro, i eat myself between 8 to 14 eggs a day, dont worry bout it.

eggs dont have mostly sat fat, in fact, thats the least type of fat in terms of content.

YUP. Most of this thread is incorrect and does not apply to KETO."Arterial plaque is primarily composed of unsaturated fats particularly polyunsaturated ones." (Felton, C V, et al, Lancet, 1994, 344:1195)

bump,all the fat,well msot of it is saturated fat,the fat u want to avoid,egg whites can be eaten all day
A large egg, containing 5 grams of fat, only has 2.5 of it as saturated.
And, it's not as bad as you make it out to be.
You guys need to research a bit."Arterial plaque is primarily composed of unsaturated fats particularly polyunsaturated ones." (Felton, C V, et al, Lancet, 1994, 344:1195)
