Even though eggs are a good source of nutrients, depending too much on them might cause a nutrient imbalance as they are low in fiber, and vitamin C, high in vitamin B12 and selenium, among other vitamins and minerals.
Eggs' high protein and fat content might make digestion uncomfortable by slowing it down. Additionally, eating too many eggs can cause the stomach to produce more acid, which can cause heartburn and acid reflux.
While eggs are a good source of protein and other nutrients, consuming them in excess can contribute to weight gain as eggs contain calories, and eating too many can lead to an increased calorie intake, surpassing daily energy needs.
High in protein, excessive protein intake from too many eggs can strain the kidneys, especially in individuals with pre-existing kidney conditions.
When consumed in excess, eggs can lead to digestive issues such as bloating, gas, and stomach cramps and can be difficult to digest in large quantities, causing digestive upset.
Excessive egg consumption, especially for those with high cholesterol or heart disease, may increase the risk of cardiovascular problems due to the potential contribution of egg yolks to arterial plaque buildup.
Egg yolks are high in cholesterol, consuming several eggs daily can significantly increase dietary cholesterol intake, potentially raising blood cholesterol levels.
