Objective To provide the scientific basis for nutrition and health policy， the egg consumption among adult residents of large cities in China from 2017 to 2018 was analyzed.Methods Samples were chosen from China Food Consumption Survey （2017—2018）. 12，173 participants aged 18 years old and above were included in the final analysis. Three non-consecutive 24 h within 3 d recalls were used to collect dietary consumption data. The rate of egg consumption and total egg consumption were calculated. Chi-square test and non-parametric test were used to compare the differences of the consumption rate and consumption， respectively.Results The overall consumption rate of egg among adult residents of large cities in China from 2017 to 2018 was 72.9% （8 875/12 173）. The average consumptions of egg among urban adults in 18 provinces of China from 2017 to 2018 were 28.1 g/d （P25： 0， P50： 20.5 g/d， P75： 43.9 g/d， P95： 78.3 g/d）， and 38.6 g/d （P25： 17.6 g/d， P50： 33.3 g/d， P75： 51.3 g/d， P95： 86.9 g/d） in the consumers. Highly educated and high income adults and adults in the eastern region were more likely to consume egg and had higher intake of egg. 9.9% （1 201/12 173） of the adults consumed more eggs than the Chinese dietary reference intake （40 g/d）， while the consumption of 71.5% （8 705/12 173） of the adults were lower than the reference.Conclusion Egg is common among the diet of Chinese urban adults， while the consumption is insufficient. Actions should be taken to promote the intake of egg in China.
