I eat 2-3 organic Omega 3 eggs every day.

From the Organic Valley site: How does the nutritional value of an Omega-3 egg compare with a "classic egg?"

Comparison of Fat Profile *

Omega-3 Enriched** Classic Egg**

Omega-6 Fatty Acids 830 mg 871 mg
Omega-3 Fatty Acids 270 mg 93 mg
Monosaturated Fats 1.5 grams 1.5 grams
Saturated Fats 1.5 grams 1.5 grams
Cholesterol 225 mg 215 mg

** Based on 1 whole large egg

* Values may vary by a natural variance of 10%-20%.

Note: Changes to the fatty acid profile do not affect the functional properties of the egg for cooking. http://www.organicvalley.coop/faq/eggs/omega-3-eggs/
