Okay, they say the average adult male should consume around 60-70 grams of fat per day. Obviously you should aim towards the healthier fats - the mono and polyunsaturated ones and get adequate amounts of omega 3s too. But a bit of the so called "bad" fats are okay - even beneficial.

The average egg only contains around 5-6grams of fat which is not much.
What I advise is to count your overall fat intake per day - from all sources and then decide how many eggs you can consume.
Also, the 60-70gram rule is debatable and not necessarily the optimum amount of fat. But it probably couldn't be too far off if thats what the experts agree on.
