“Can you eat eggs after a heart attack?”

Unfortunately, there is research that supports both a yes and no answer. Of course, I am sure you have asked your cardiologist. But the consensus (general opinion of the experts in USA) is 1 egg a day is safe (some studies say 2 eggs a day is safe). An important point mentioned in many studies is that it may be more how we cook the egg and what we eat it with that increases the risk of heart disease (and not the egg itself). Therefore, if you eat eggs and have heart disease, eat the eggs in a healthy manner (e.g., a poached egg on whole wheat toast is healthier than an egg fried in butter or egg served with bacon).

Good luck, be safe,

It would be better to eat egg whites, which are lower in cholesterol. Try to eat a low cholesterol diet in order to lower your risk of more cardiac issues.

Yes

You should be able to do so, depends on frequency and how healthy your diet is otherwise, Cholesterol level is also a factor.
