By default, EIGRP will use no more than 50% of the bandwidth of an
interface. This is for EIGRP packets themselves, not for the forwarding of
user data, which EIGRP wouldn't handle anyway. (It's a routing protocol, not
a routed protocol).

I think this must be a legacy feature for using EIGRP on low-bandwidth
links. These days something would really be wrong if EIGRP approached 50% of
the bandwidth on a typical interface.

EIGRP resides on a typical 20-byte IP header. The EIGRP header is 20 bytes
and includes a version, an opcode (to identify type of packet, such as
Update), AS, and a few other things.

Each route is about 26-30 bytes. It depends on the prefix length.

Here's an example of an initial Update packet:
