Number of Eggs One Should Consume

I'm of the belief that nutrient dense calories shouldn't really be a concern for most people. I don't think I've ever heard of someone getting fat snacking on just eggs all whole time. It's the nutrient poor foods like potato chips and soda that people seem to not get enough of. In other words, if they ate that egg yolk they'd be less inclined to binge eat in the first place. For me personally, eggs are just really satiating. I can eat like 3 or 4 as a meal and feel full. It's a good way for me to maintain a caloric deficit and not be hungry actually.

I eat 5-10 a day.

Eggs are great; eat 2 a day.

I've never done scrambled eggs the way Ramsay did them in that video. Gonna give it a try tomorrow morning. And god I can't wait to start cooking school. ^_^ It'll be so cool to have a chef point out everything I do wrong.

Can't stand boiled egg yolks, but I'll choke them down if boiled eggs are breakfast. For snacks, I'll just eat the whites.

Otherwise, bring on the yolk.

They're really nice that way. Tasty. Too bad you can't easily get Creme Fraiche in the US.

When I was a lad, I ate 4 dozen eggs every monring to help me get large.
And now that I'm grown, I eat 5 dozen eggs... so I'm roughly the size of a barge!!!!!

(someone had to say it)
I don't really count'em. i eat them when I want 'em.

Alot of people also swear that farm raised/fresh eggs/farmer's market eggs taste way better.

Also, there's one restaurant in NY which makes scrambled eggs unlike any other place in the world. I've tried and tried and have not been able to replicate the juicy texture and taste they make it with, nor have visiting alot of different breakfast places/restaurants help. Nobody even comes close. I need to sneak into their kitchen with a spycam.

Funny how much weight I lost when I stopped eating 4 eggs at a time. Low cost and "the protein craze" can lead to some bad diet decisions. The "eat all the eggs you want" advice isn't for everyone.

Doctor told me to stop eating yolks since my HDL was low and triglycerides were high.... but he also said calories count and nothing else really matters. Bloodwork has improved since then.

I ate 4 eggs today and felt like puking from the excess egg.

But I'm trying to get bigger and I hear that eating a lot of eggs just jacks you up super fast...

No pain, no gain!!!!!!!

I do my best to eat 5 eggs and a glass of milk every breakfast. This is while cutting. Sometimes I'll eat 10 in a day but not often. On weekends I usually don't eat eggs though unless I'm at home.

Drink a gallon of milk every day.

Odd considering eating eggs should've really increased your HDL. In any case, congrats. I'm sure you successfully isolated eggs as the sole change in your diet and behavior in that time period. 320 calories is indeed a difference. Next time try cutting out 320 calories in sugar and see how it goes.

Just had six scrambled eggs with Tabasco, five sausage links and a whole wheat bagel with peanut butter, washed down with a cold Blue Light. The dinner of champion bachelors everywhere, and at 11:30 PM no less.

No, but you can easily make your own.

Eggs are a great midnight snack, or in my case 2am

Just had 3 eggs with black pepper (since seeing it on Twitter) and Tabasco.
I buy 18 at a time from Metro.

I should really eat more, but they just don't seem to cook fast enough.
