Brief Answer:
hi and welcome

Detailed Answer:
there are no enough studies to evaluate cost-benefit of egg consumation but it is not recommended to eat more than 5-6 eggs per days since this is too high cholesterol intake. eggs have nutritional value and proteins which are important for growth and development,but as I said 10 may be bit too much and it should be reduced. Wish you good health.
