It isn't opinion that matters; it's data

You can get an opinion from here and there, but you need large numbers to really tell. Study here:

"A Harvard study of over 21,000 male physicians found that men who ate up to 6 eggs a week had no increase in their rate of death. But once they ate a seventh egg, their risk of death went up 23%."

Personally, I think you will be fine (opinion here). But I would not over-do it with the eggs. I only eat eggs sporadically, and if I can, I remove the egg yolks.
