The American Heart Association recommends up to one egg a day for most people, fewer for people with high blood cholesterol, especially those with diabetes or who are at risk for heart failure, and up to two eggs a day for older people with normal cholesterol levels and who eat a healthy diet.

For most healthy adults, eating six eggs in one sitting is not inherently "dangerous," but it is a very large amount of protein and cholesterol for a single meal. One large egg contains approximately 6 grams of protein and 186 mg of dietary cholesterol. Six eggs would total 36 grams of protein—which is within the range of a high-protein meal—but over 1,100 mg of cholesterol, which far exceeds previous daily recommendations (though modern nutritional science has shifted away from strict dietary cholesterol limits for healthy individuals). The "limit" depends on your overall health, activity level, and underlying conditions. If you have heart disease or high LDL cholesterol, a doctor might advise against such a high-cholesterol intake. From a digestive standpoint, such a large volume of eggs can cause bloating or sluggishness for some. However, for athletes or those on high-calorie diets, six eggs might simply be a standard part of their macronutrient goals. Generally, nutritional experts recommend a varied diet rather than relying on such a high quantity of a single food item in one sitting, as balance is key to long-term health and preventing nutrient deficiencies elsewhere.
