Deciding whether or not people with a weight issue should eat eggs is complex and subjective. While some experts believe that eggs can be beneficial for weight control, regularly consuming too many of them may cause unhealthy spikes in calories, fat, and cholesterol levels.

Eggs contain high-quality protein which can help boost fullness and satisfaction when eaten as part of a healthy diet. They are also rich in several essential nutrients such as Vitamin D, A, E, K2, choline and iodine which play an important role in the body's metabolism. However they are also high in calories and saturated fatty acids (the bad kind) which could lead to adverse health effects if consumed excessively.

The real question is how much someone who is overweight should be eating eggs on a regular basis? It appears that moderate consumption (1-2 per day depending on your calorie needs) would likely provide enough protein without going overboard on the saturated fat or cholesterol intake. However it’s important to remember that every individual responds differently to certain foods so it’s best to take into account your personal goals before making dietary changes based solely on what you read online or hear from others.

To summarize: Eggs can be enjoyed occasionally as part of a healthy diet for most people trying to maintain their current body weight - however those struggling with obesity might want to limit their egg intake until they reach their desired targets first! As always consult with a doctor or nutrition professional when making dietary changes for added safety measures .
