How many eggs do you eat in a day?

Well if you are into weightlifting than your RDA will vary. But the "good fat" you are talking about is partly true. 1 egg has around 5g fat ,roughly 3 is unsaturated (good kind) and 2 is saturated(this clogs up the arteries).
So American Heart Association recommends not more than 6% of your total calories should be from saturated fat. Example, In a standard person eating 2000 Cal, the limit is 13g. So that dude who is having 15 eggs per day (30g saturated fat) is hopefully weight training like you.
God forbid some people share their eating habits.
Every day? Phew, I'd hate to be around when you fart!

Usually 2, hard boiled. Kind of sad I'm not the size of a barge yet, but I'll get there.

A couple for breakfast every day, scrambled. Combine that with a piece of toast and some milk and it's a stupid fast filling breakfast.
It's my fault for reading these threads, I know. I was already feeling inadequate, and these topics read like a competition. I'll get my coat.

Last time I had eggs I cook 10, and ate them all.

You sound upset. Just ignore the threads and move on.

I used to make scrambled eggs with cubed bacon for breakfast every day for a year or two. I probably should've done at least something else with the eggs, but hey, it's not a crime to be lazy and/or culinarily non-creative.
Man should have been first post

1 or 2 per week..
Isn't that reversed?

Not everyday, but roughly half a dozen a week.
Some weeks a whole dozen. Eggs are good nutrition.

What's the best way to get the shells off these fuckers? We make a dozen a week and leave them in the fridge. The work to get the shells off when they are cold sucks.

I can understand his point. Not so long ago, people were arguing whether drinking 9 fucking galons of water a day is enough or not.

What do mean? Boiled eggs? You roll 'em.
I boil them for about 12-15 minutes max, and rinse in cold water.

It's a crap shoot - I believe older eggs are easier to peel as that membrane portion has weakened/dissolved somewhat.
You can get around that by hard boiling eggs in a pressure cooker, which is a bit bizarre but works really well.
And some of it is probably down to the chicken's diet, too, so if you get the right combination of elements you're going to get one of those eggs that are impossible to peel without mutilating them.

Yes I meant hard boiled. Feel like they taste more fresh when I leave the shell on until eating.
Thanks for the tips guys.

Add vinegar to the water. It will help the eggs peel much more consistently.

M-F: 0 per day
S-S: 2 per day. Maybe 3 if I'm feeling frisky

I limit myself to two or I'll end up smelling it.

3-4 for breakfast. None after that though, and obviously sometimes you need switch things up for the sake of variety.
Boiled eggs fill up fast and for a long time, making a pseudo-fasting (intermittent fasting) diet a lot easier to accomplish. There is also zero harm in it and is probably better than a bread belly.

Zero, smell of grocery store hard boiled eggs is putrid and nauseating to me.
True, farm fresh eggs never gave me a nasty migraine like those grocery store ones did.

Twice a day. Sometimes I skip a day if I don't have any eggs available, and very rarely I'll eat four eggs in one day. But weekly, that shouldn't be more than 14.
I love eggs.

This is old, outdated "information". Saturated fat does not clog arteries.

Maybe 4 a week. 2 saturday and 2 sunday.
I'm not a big fan of boiled eggs and I don't take the time before or after work to make them.

Eggs need to be >10 days old to peel well when boiled, but that isn't an issue for store bought eggs... usually. The reason is twofold: first, store eggs are always washed in a hot sterilizing bath to remove contaminants (spolier: it's poo), which because of the temp and chemicals starts a reaction that begins to release the shell from the inner membrane. And second, typically your store eggs are at least a week old before they even arrive. That and the bath are why they only last 2-3 weeks before going bad. Fresh (aka from a real farm), clean, refrigerated eggs are good for 3-4 months! If you know the 'born on' date and that they're clean, eggs are amazingly resilient in the fridge.
My advice: Don't use vinegar! Egg shells are porus, and something like 99% calcium carbonate- a base. Vinegar is an acid... Simple chemistry here... it may work to loosen the shell, but it also adds a gnarly taste since its both breaking down the composition of the shell and permeating into the egg at the same time. Heck, leave a raw egg in vinegar for a couple days, it'll be a damned bouncy ball. Crazy science experiment, but kinda fun.
If you steam your eggs for 20 mins then dunk them in a quick ice water bath they'll peel like magic. The steam passes through the porus surface of the egg, didlodges the membrane, and the ice water makes sure the whites are solidified and not gelatinous (the biggest problem with peeling eggs). Steam and ice is way more easy than anything else.
Also: try pickling eggs. After they're hard boiled, of course. So good, and there's hundreds of great recipes out there. They'll keep for ages, too.

4 eggs in the morning. Can't live without them anymore.

I try to keep it to zero on most days. I hate eggs. Unless they are pickled. I know that's weird. Sometimes I will also consume them in something like potato salad or baked goods.
Finding out that there are people out there that eat 11 eggs a day, it's going to take me a little to process this information. Reminds me of that work lunch scene in Napoleon Dynamite, the one that makes me gag.

2 a day in an omelet with tomatoes, onions and jalepeños between two slices of wheat bread

I'm currently on the Atkins diet, so quite a few. I'll eat 4 extra large eggs, or 5 just regular eggs. I do them all different ways except hard boiled.Typically I'll make them with four pieces of bacon and two slices of cheddar cheese. Currently down thirty pounds, so I'm getting there. But boy do I miss egg sandwiches.

I eat maybe .33 per day.
Eggs are pretty incredible and edible or so I've been told.

I understand your point about the mistreatment of animals, but the bolded needs to go away so hard. Far too many people still think that dietary cholesterol is bad for you.
