NIN recommends limiting egg consumption to 3 eggs per week. The guideline also notes that egg white may be consumed in good amounts , since the concern is mainly the yolk’s cholesterol content.

Quick scoop

For the National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) diet guidelines for Indians, the practical takeaway is:

  • Whole eggs: up to 3 per week.
  • Egg whites: can be eaten more freely.

Why this matters

NIN’s recommendation is a conservative public-health guideline aimed at balancing the nutrients in eggs with their cholesterol content. If you want, I can also give you the exact NIN wording or compare it with other egg guidelines like the AHA or recent U.S. dietary guidance.
