Zero!!!: Eggs are all protein and fat without any significant amount of carbs and thus have a glycemic index of 0!
Eggs are one of the healthiest foods you can eat and it is safe to eat them liberally as they do not raise cholesterol!
However, I strongly advise eating only organic (ideally pasture-raised) eggs.

The effects that different foods have on blood sugar levels vary considerably. The glycemic index estimates how much each gram of available carbohydrate (total carbohydrate minus fiber) in a food raises a person's bloo.
