Tom,

I'll let BWV answer, but, for one thing, there are a lot of crummy things in eggs these days:
antibiotics and estrogen, for example, unless you're buying from the health food store.

There's a theory that if there's a food that a person absolutely cannot do without, that he actually feels unwell when he can't get this food, and feels better when he finally eats it, it's probably an addiction, meaning it's having a bad effect on the person's health. I think BWV felt that 24 eggs a week was indicative of an excessive/addictive amount; however, I don't think he took your size into account.

There are those who believe that any animal product will work negatively on one's health.

However, I tend to be more concerned with people's over-consumption of white sugar and white flour: leaches the calcium out of the body
and destroys the B vitamins; causes a lot of health problems. I would worry that you'd stop eating eggs and substitute pancakes made with white flour, or similarly waffles, and even with cereal, milk's not really good for you either.
"Milk" is breast milk for baby cows. Why would we be nursing from some other species--and at our age!

At any rate, please everybody, read RDS' thread so that you can acquaint yourselves with a patient who is doing so many things at once that it is totally impossible to know if we've given the right remedy! (Meaning, Tom, stay on your eggs!)
