DancerMan84 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hi Everyone! I am a man who loves his eggs! any which way I just love them.... well as long as the yolk is still nice and gooey! But I was wondering how many is too many?? I am 28, 6'1" and weigh about 178lbs with maybe about 12-14%bf (a guess) and have been eating 4 eggs every morning for about 6 months. the eggs I eat are from my folks house and the hens have a great life roaming around the garden and paddock doing their thing. They are awesome. Anyway, is 28 eggs a week too much? as for the rest of my diet, you can check out my first whole30 feed, but in a nutshell, im eating 2 palms of protien (organic, pastured, biodynamic, grass fed), a heap of vegies (till I can eat no more) and 2tbs sometimes a touch more of additional fats (usually clarified butter, olive oil, duck fat or coconut butter) for every other meal. I dont really eat any nuts and I have on the odd occasion had a handful of raspberries with breakfast. So, 28 a week..... too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 First, I have to call you a lucky duck to get the eggs that you do. I pay $7.99 a dozen for eggs like that. You can eat all the eggs you want. Your eating plan sounds like perfection!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very lucky indeed, but my folks are thankful that someone is eating them.... I am, naturally, happy to oblige and so you dont feel so bad.... for years I was paying the same as you for eggs.... get yourself some Chickens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Lol..I live in a condo so no chickens for me. Even at the price I pay, the eggs are so high quality that I don't mind. They are organic as well. The non organic eggs from pastured chickens are $6.99. I visited the farm, so I am getting what the carton says. It's still a fairly reasonable, high quality protein source.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted January 12, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 12, 2013 I ate 28 eggs per week for a long time. I cut back to about 16 per week a few months ago, mostly because I thought I should have more variety in my diet. I am paying $4 a dozen to my local farmer.

lhenkin Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 My eggs just went up to 4 dollars. They are from a local organic farm. Can't complain, I guess, though I would love to have some hens in my backyard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaela Elmore Cogswell Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 be glad you don't live in California. $5 a dozen at our farmer's market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancerMan84 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Gosh those of you in the USA pay so much for your eggs!! We can still get pretty good eggs for about 3bucks a dozen..... You all shold have hens in your yards (if you have them) they are fun for you and the kids - yours or others and they lay great eggs practically for free!

Kim Christensen Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Goodness. I pay $1.50 a dozen from my farmer. But then again people pay insane amounts for organic raw milk and he still charges me very little. I'm spoiled. And he sells butter too. Gotta love affordable grass fed organic butter. My ghee makes me happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicole M Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 $1.50 a dozen!!?? I can't even get crappy eggs for that! Amazing and awesome for you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Feeling really envious, my eggs work out at $6.42 a dozen. they are organic from a local farm and are great, I don't grudge it but I get a bit green looking at some of your prices As for how many is too many - if they won't all fit in the kitchen it's too many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penotti Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I eat a lot of eggs too (like 30 a week), but have also heard of this thing where when you over-consume a food, you become sensitive to it? Currently trying to figure out if eggs are the cause you my scalp issues. By the way, across the Atlantic here, we pay 3.18 euro a dozen (like 4.30 dollars) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, across the Atlantic here, we pay 3.18 euro a dozen (like 4.30 dollars) I have a man that delivers to me (from his uncles farm, but I only have his word for that) and I pay €6 for 30 In the supermarket free range eggs are c.€3 for 6.
