Er, that’s not what I asked; averting a deficiency presumably takes less consumption than that. Do you have evidence about choline levels, and what does that evidence say about how many eggs you’d need to eat per week to avoid it?
Averting an acute deficiency is completely different from optimal for health. I don’t have a simple cite saying this amount of choline is optimal. I have an impression based on peoples response to extra choline.
Edit: to clarify, choline is not the sole reason I strongly recommend eggs. It is possible to get enough choline without eggs, but the fact that the overwhelming majority of the populace does not meet the adequate intake makes me suspect most diets don’t fulfill this.
How many eggs per week would you need to eat in order to avoid choline deficiency?
I eat 2-3 eggs a day. You do get a little choline from other sources.

The last time I tried doing this I ended up with some constipation. It’s possible I wasn’t drinking enough water at the time, though.
