How many eggs are you eating per day?

[-=FLEX=-]

When I was in my 20's I tried for 12 egg whites/day. I threw the yolks out. I'd peel and eat eggs until I was ready to puke. SRS.

When I started training again in 2010 after 7 years off I tried for 4-6 per day, with some olive oil. Did that for 18 months then hit a wall; couldn't stand them anymore.

Last week I started again; 6 hardboiled eggs/day with a teaspoon or two of olive oil, some salt, and some Frank's Red Hot.

I feel great; I swear this is the most anabolic post workout meal out there.

I hope I can keep it going...

You?

Exactly ZERO, despise eggs because I can't get over the thought of chicken abortions. Just grosses me out, i'm ok if they are used in cake mixes or for french toast batter and stuff like that but to just either cook and eat them or hardboil them, *** no thanks.

We all have our mental hangups, this one is mine.

I have 4 scrambled in olive oil every morning, 1 in my tuna salad during the day, and 1 in my garden salad every evening. Whole eggs, I don't throw away the yolks.

[Jeep41]

About 4-6 eggs. I used to hate them but now I love them. Also southwestern egg beaters are so good.

Just for clarification I now eat the whole egg.

2-4 eggs...scrambled. I used to eat them hard-boiled, but can't stand them that way anymore. Makes me want to gag.

[hammerfelt]

4 eggs with bacon almost every morning.

[MyronLatsBrah]

2-6.

depends on what day it is since im cutting

[pvsampson]

I eat a dozen a week in three sittings.Went off them (and chicken) when I was working in chicken breeder farms.Sometimes the smell still gets to me and I feel a bit off after eating them.Fried sunny side up,runny,with a little bit of albumen still clear, on toast with cheese!!

[Getsum]

2 or 3 hard boiled during the week and 4 on the weekends.

[Phattso]

5 to 6 egg-whites and about 1/2 yolk per day scrambled, along with usually oatmeal.

[RedXray]

Zero in the last year, but since my cholesterol is back down to 149 (total) I'm gonna start eating them again.

FWIW I had a total choleserol of 209 last year and after seven months was able to lower it to 157 and during that time I was eating 6 to 8 whole eggs per day.

[bigtallox]

I usually eat about 6 a day. But sometimes I get sick of them and stop for a few days. Soon we're getting some chickens so we'll have fresh eggs, that'll be nice. The eggs you get from the store just don't compare to the real thing. I can't wait.

[PMW]

6 egg whites 2 wholes each morning

[tobymax123]

I eat 3 or 4 a week. Obviously not using them a significant protein source. I love them, but I don't get up early enough to cook breakfast on weekdays, so I eat a couple of Greek yogurts for my morning protein. We always have a few hardboiled ones in the fridge for salads.

[dungeonmistress]

i eat 6 whites every am along with Ezekiel bread which also has some protein in it. i was eating two whole eggs every am but my cholesterol decided to go up a bit so i wanted to see if i could lower it with food choices. it did go down some. it's probably not the eggs, it's my hormonal make up now.

[pharmamarketer]

4-6

[GuyJin]

I eat between three and five a day, on average five days a week. Usually hard-boiled but sometimes fried with a tiny bit of olive oil. Since I stopped eating meat for the most part--just a little fish or pork here and there--eggs have become my primary protein source. I eat the whole egg.

When I was in my early twenties, I'd eat the damn things raw a la Rocky, six to eight at a time, or six to eight hard boiled almost every day. My cholesterol count was very low then and it's not a problem now. To me, eggs are the most anabolic food around next to meat, chicken, or fish.

[cmoore]

I swear this is the most anabolic post workout meal out there.

Not daily but I will do "egg night" once or twice a week where I'll eat 4-8 eggs for dinner with what ever else fits my macros.

[m314]

6 eggs soft scrambled with a little butter and parmesan cheese is possibly the best breakfast ever. I don't have time to cook like that most mornings.

If you're in a hurry, raw eggs are quick and easy. Open an egg into a glass, drink in one gulp, and repeat. It takes about 30 seconds to eat 6 eggs that way. The only downside is you don't get to enjoy them.

[AJDBODHI]

8 eggs- 2 x whole, 6 x whites. I boil 24 eggs at once, this keeps me going 3 days and this is as long as they last in the fridge, 3 days.
I'm over peeling eggs, but you gotta do what you gotta do!

[lunchbreak]

2 every morning, regular as clockwork. Less regularly some will appear in another meal, depends what I fancy really. I buy a dozen every 4-5 day grocery shop. I always eat whole eggs unless I'm cooking some recipie that dictates otherwise.

Mmmmm... chicken fetuses... I especially like the little white hard spiraling "body start" that hangs on the yolk... I swear it is almost crunchy...
;-)

[BLaaR]

0 for me.

Somehow the texture of boiled eggs makes me wanna puke. Fried eggs is better but still the yellow makes me wanna gag. Scrambled eggs are okay but I struggle getting them down each and every day.

Omelets are great but I am too lazy to make them each day.

[VIsland]

I eat 7 whole at a time. Not every day however every second day or so.

Why not hardboil a bunch in advance? That's what I do. Cook a bunch up on Sunday then another batch Wednesday to finish up the week.

There was a guy at my work that kept chickens and used to sell me a couple dozen fresh eggs/week really cheap. Only issue was if you hard-boil fresh eggs they are a total PITA to peel.

Val does this. The smell.... it's like punch to the face every time I open the refrigerator door.

[ulsak]

Just for clarification I now eat the whole egg.

*relieved* Some said, "throwing away the yolks is like burning dollar bills" I'm too lazy, but if I can get my wife to cook me eggs in the morning it will be fine.

Put them in a container or a ziploc baggie...
