Eggs contain 250 mg cholesterol per.

Heart-healthy diets (like the American Heart Association's) recommend 200-300 mg of cholesterol per day.

Dunno where ikkyu2 is getting his figures, but that sez one egg max per day (averaged), depending on other sweet, sweet meats.

And some people don't even think that dietary cholesterol has much effect on blood cholesterol levels.
