Ask Lemmy

I can eat up to a dozen boiled eggs a day if I'm particularly craving them. They're my fave source of protein!

My problem is we have three teenagers of our own plus an extra one who lives with us 60% of the time. Two of them are vegetarian but eat eggs for protein. The rest of us just like eggs. We go through about 3-4 dozen a week.

I make a bunch of deviled eggs maybe once or twice a year. I don't care for most other types of "easy" egg preparations and there are plenty of cheap beans, chicken, and cheap bits of pork for my protein needs.

Tbh I don't understand why people don't just buy something else. There are several good alternatives available.

Varies a lot. Sometimes weeks can go by without me eating a single egg. But when I start, I go hard. It's not unheard of that I go through an entire carton as a late night snack with boiled eggs.

I have like four every six months.

Me, 10-18. 2 per work day for egg Sammy. Then weekends depend on omelets and other meals depending on recipe. 10 minimum tho. Brother has 1 more chicken than his family eats eggs so if anything I buy less eggs than most households per month.

42 a week, or 6 a day.

However, 30 eggs is only $3 where I live.

Almost none. Allergies.

I haven’t had eggs since they were $2/dozen, so zero in like 8+ months, but when I have eggs (starting chickens and quail) I’ll be eating probably 2-4/day. When they were cheap I was averaging 3/day, including baked goods and such.

I really don’t eat much meat (can’t afford that either, but my digestive system doesn’t do well with a lot of meat anyway), and my mushroom cultures are taking foooooooorrrrrreeeeeeevvvvvvveeeerrrrr, so.. need protein somewhere.

None, I've never particularly liked them. I know some people love them, but to me they don't smell great, kinda sulfurous farts and they have an odd smushy consistency when cooked.

Zero now that the price has gone up.

It depends. Eggs are part of cakes and pancakes, and a very quick to cook healthy thing to eat. Family of 4 now, we go through between 8 eggs on a light week and 32 eggs on a week I make a lot of egg stuff, or if someone is bulking, like today I made shakshuka for supper and a cake, that's eight eggs in one meal.

I think they are a commodity and historically a cheap source of animal protein, that's why they are talked about.

Probably like 2 dozen a week. I like eggs lol.

5-6, and eggs aren’t expensive yet. I guess wherever we get eggs from don’t have avian flu yet …. Although it’s here in the wild

I have a bowl of cereal (yogurt and fruit) during the week, but usually make something with eggs on the weekend.

Lots the chickens are liking the weather it seems.

And ironically the latest egg price rise in the states is because of h5n1 and the stock market taking bets because of that. As much fun as it is to blame trump it would be misinformation to claim its his fault.

Zero. I used to have a fried egg for lunch every day but many years ago something switched in my brain and now the flavor of them really puts me off.

Depends where I am with training, but up to 70 a week.

Most weeks maybe just un oeuf. I think since I stopped eating breakfast and found out my body hates gluten (so heavily reducing baked goods, my other main use of eggs), my egg consumption went way down. The one weekly is generally from going to get sushi and there being some tamagoyaki in there. I guess the odd exception is throwing one (boiled or raw) into soup and the rare occasion that I knock out a fried rice.

Edit: I think 10 local eggs are around 500 yen, at least the last time I checked. More expensive than non-local, and the price has definitely gone up generally in the last few years.

0. Eggs are not worth what they charge.

Tends to be around 4 per week, I'm just one person and eggs are usually a weekend breakfast thing for me.

But.. I also try to budget meals to be close to $1, so I might just stop buying eggs if a dozen get to $6+ (around me they have been in the $5-$8 range for now)
