What I'm looking for is evidence that properly cooked meat/eggs poses any risk, and I didn't find it (but didn't search exhaustively).
Of course not.. that would sure as heck destroy the chicken / egg industry but also rarely are such things able to be proven with specificity. While I do have my doubts that this could be a thing.. as I said about 97 times now... no matter what, I want to reduce my egg intake.
If it makes you happy just assume I woke up one day and Jesus came to me and said "thee shall not eat so many eggs."
I got some really good ideas on here everyone. Thanks to those that were on topic.
While I love some brands of veggie sausage, and fake chicken and beef, realize these ARE just another processed food, with the some of the same drawbacks as other more traditional processed foods.
Just because it is breakfast you don't have to eat "breakfast" food. Eat any food that is within your diet requirements any time of the day.
I will probably have a salad this morning, because it's healthy and it sounds good.

I have definitely gotten too into eggs for breakfast.
Recently I found out they should be severely limited - but I have forgotten what to eat that isn't eggs. Also don't want to make the mistake of eating carbs and just find myself with a new problem.
I can eat egg beaters but what are other options.
Stop thinking you have to eat "breakfast" food.
What do you eat for lunch and dinner? If it tastes good to you for lunch and dinner, why wouldn't it taste good to you for breakfast?
One of my favorite meals for breakfast is soup. Seems to hit the same spot that hot cereal does.
Personally, I prefer to eat food my grandmother would recognize. Those "food-you-shouldn't-eat substitute" thingies make me nervous. OK once in a while, but I'd never rely on a "substitute" food as a mainstay. But if I'm only going to eat the substitute once in a while, I might as well just skip the substitute and eat the real thing once in a while. Much more satisfying.
And BTW, I hope you avoid both myeloma and non-Hodgkins. Two people dear to me have non-Hodgkins, and while many people can and do live well with it for years, it is definitely better to not have it.

I have a saying, some may think it’s kind of goofy, but we don’t know what we don’t know.
My father, after his heart attack, was told to not eat butter— saturated fat was very very bad. So he ate margarine. The man ate two poached eggs on margarined toast every single blessed day and seven years later had suffered a massive myocardial infarction and died.
Go forward a few years and we started hearing about this little nasty stuff called trans fats. Guess what margarine was.
I also have a personal belief that my father had diabetes. And because the numbers weren’t as low as they are now his was undiagnosed, or just brushed off. I say that because his mother and his brother were diabetics. His other brother died in his 40s from massive heart disease. I have it, and both my sisters are prediabetic. So it runs in the family.
Had the medical community known then what they know now my father probably wouldn’t have died, because he would’ve been put on a more suitable diet. But they didn’t know what they didn’t know. So frankly I think you’re wise in checking things out, looking at things and tweaking your diet, I see nothing wrong with that. It’s something I think we should all do.

Yes. I am up 2-4 hours before I get hungry. The first thing I ate today was a fresh vegetable, mushroom and herb soup and it was a delicious vitamin powerhouse. We eat eggs occasionally but they are almost always part of an evening meal.
That is my business. Please answer the question or don't respond. geese.
Wow!!! You do realize if you do not want to share the reason it is pretty hard to give any answer. OK, now I read the rest of the thread and you did answer the question about why you are limiting eggs. I will add, lots of studies do not always mean anything or very little. You now have been given other alternatives to eating eggs for breakfast. What does your oncologist say about this or the nutritionist have to say? I don't mean some one claims a study showed this or that. Studies can show all kinds of things.
Do a google for low carb vegan or keto vegan. Its possible but tough row to hoe. All plant based foods have some carbs. But 150 to 200 gram carb diet quite possible.
I had to go low carb after diabetes diagnosis. Easiest way for me was to eliminate grain and potatoes and any other starchy food. Have been vegetarian most of my adult life. No taste for meat, but started using eggs to bind together flax seed meal and sunflower seed meal to make hotcakes for bread-like substitute. Without gluten you need some binder to hold it together. Now with the virus lockdown, people are buying up eggs so hard to buy quantity eggs I am used to, so have ordered some xanthan gum to bind together my oily seed hotcakes. The eggs were available local stores, the xanthan gum is one of those Amazon things. Not something home cooks tend to use.
Look low carb is hard enough, low carb vegetarian or vegan is very difficult. Get used to it, no magic bullet, you just tinker until you figure out system that meets your goal. I know it was difficult figuring out what I was going to eat after diabetes. Nice thing, low carb, one tends to eat lot less. I mostly eat low starch produce and oily seeds and nuts.
I just googled substitute for eggs, and got a plant based egg substitute called JUST eggs that apparently scrambles and “omelettes” just like eggs. I didn’t look to where you would get it.
Wow, I'm surprised no one has brought that product to the attention of the OP yet.
Oh, wait.....
