I've recenty started eating 6 hard-boiled egg yokes per day with the egg whites (whole egs).
6 Yokes per day:
Too much fat? Too much cholesterol?
Thanks.

Personally, I would try to limit it to 1-2 yolks/day.
Although dietry cholesterol has no real link with blood cholesterol (at least in healthy individuals - in those with high cholesterol it is a good idea to limit the dietary cholesterol to degree) you are better off getting your fats from other things (such as your mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated sources like nuts, seeds, olive oil, fish oils etc).

Egg yolks are very good for you in small amounts. I eat 1 egg yolk for every 4 egg whites, so usually 2 per meal ( 2 yolks + 8 whites = 30 grams protein). I do eat eggs 2x a day so 4 yolks total. Six yolks is not in excess, especially if you are on a low carb diet. Look up eggs in a nutrition book, or the internet and see what you are really getting in those yolks.
