Question: Is it safe to eat 6 boiled eggs a day?

Some people may be able to, but I wouldn't if I were you due to your health status. Try adding beans or edamame or nuts or seeds to your salad for protein

Examples:

120 calories shelled edamame (1/2 cup about) gives you 13 g if protein

90 calories black beans (1/2 cup canned goya) gives you 7 g protein

160 calories unsalted almonds (about 1/4 cup whole) gives you 6 g protein.



Or maybe eat only one yolk on each salad and then as many whites as you like. The yolks have many health benefits, so you don't want to cut them out completely, but the white has about half the eggs protein, no cholesterol, and is much lower in calories than the yolk (17 in one large egg white, 70 in a whole large egg).

You might have to end up boiling 12 eggs a day, (each salad would have six whites and one yolk), but you would be getting so much cholesterol and saturated fat.



Maybe even try adding a can of tuna in water to your salad (4 oz drained tuna is about 90-100 calories w/ 20 g protein)





P.s. If you go the tuna route skip the mayo (excess calories). You can add add 2 T plain greek yogurt (really good way to moisten it), some salsa, some relish (watch sodium) or even a little mustard. Mashed avocado is good too.
