For most healthy adults, one to three eggs a day is considered both safe and – according to a growing pile of research – genuinely good for you.

Two quick rules to get the most out of them. First, eat the whole egg: the majority of the vitamins and minerals live in the yolk, not the white. Second, because eggs contain no fiber or carbs, pair them with vegetables, fruit or whole grains to round out the meal.

The bottom line? The “eggs are bad for you” era is over. The research increasingly says the opposite – a daily egg might be one of the simplest, cheapest upgrades you can make to your plate.

So tomorrow morning, go ahead and crack one open. No guilt required.
