Brief Answer:
Yes it is okay but combine with other foods and exercise.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using HCM to post your question.

I read carefully your question and understand your concern.

The egg white is made of protein. Protein is good for the body. There is not a limit of how much you can take, as soon as you eat other foods as well and also exercise.
The yolk is not good to take in large amounts though, because it will give you high colesterol, so take maximum 4-5 per week.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you have other questions or concerns, otherwise please close and rate the answer.

Regards,
