If they want more than one, give them more.

(Scrambled eggs for those don’t know yiddish)

I don’t think you should have a blanket rule per age.
My 5 year old eats between 1-2 depending on his mood.

(I eat up the rest if he leaves any over 😉)

Calculate 11/2 per child so if it’s 6 kids =9 eggs
Or is that too much?
It depends the size of the eggs, jumbo 11/2, large 2
Also school age I’m assuming 6-12 yrs old

Depends what else they're eating. I have one child who likes eggs with potatoes and salami, and one who only wants them with salami. The first one eats up to 3 eggs, the second one eats up to 4.

People give their kids 4 eggs a day? I thought more than 3 eggs isn't healthy, even for adults.

I'm one of the PPs whose kids eat 3 or 4. We don't eat scrambled eggs daily, so it's not 4 eggs a day. We make scrambled eggs only as part of a dinner, once every 2 weeks or so. Eggs are an ingredient in many other foods, like baked goods and pasta, but we don't eat them very often in their plain form.

So funny I grew up with no more than 2 eggs a day per person because more than that isn't healthy. It was a strict rule in my house!

Depends on what else I'm eating them with, but I can eat up to 5. Like I said above though, we don't eat eggs daily or even every week.

Very outdated to believe eggs aren't healthy. Those old studies used powdered eggs and our bodies react differently to unadulterated eggs.

That being said, I usually serve my kids 2 at a time. If they want more, fine. But I think a portion is 2 eggs.

For a kid one and if they want a second one, for a bigger person or adult 2 or 3. We do not eat scrambled eggs daily, only Sunday mornings or whenever else we have time for brunch.

My 2 year old easily eats 2. My husband and I have 4 each with a side of bread. We only serve once, maybe twice a week- keep it under 7 eggs per week per person.

Totally missed that part.
We do 2 per person regardless of age.

I don't think it matters if you don't eat eggs every day. It's not healthy to eat 4 eggs in 1 day.

If you have some relevant evidence on this point, please share it. Otherwise, I'm not worried. In general, children and adults both just need to eat a diet that is balanced over time. It doesn't need to be perfectly balanced every 24 or 48 hours.

There are exceptions like diabetes that require close monitoring, but normally I would not expect to see any difference healthwise between a child who eats 4 eggs on day 1 and zero eggs on days 2, 3, and 4, and a child who eats 1 egg per day for four days in a row.
