I've found 2 yolks, mostly in extra large eggs. There are certainly 3 yolked eggs too, but I've never even heard of 4. As to healthy consumption of eggs, if you don't have a cholesterol problem, I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you do, 3 or 4 egg yolks a week is the recommended limit, since they do contain significant cholesterol. Most of the cholesterol you eat, however, is NOT absorbed by your body, and as long as you're healthy, I would just limit it to one or two a day, on average, at most, just because too much of anything is bad for you.
