Eh. Sometimes I eat eggs when I visit my parents, but that's pretty much about it. I'm only buying some when I need to bake something, which is not happening quite often. Never thought about buying some for myself, even though I do like an egg for breakfast...

Anyway, for some reason I always had in mind that eating more than a handful of eggs a week isn't healthy. Looking at this thread, I guess that's wrong.

 

[outunderthestars]

I eat maybe a dozen or so eggs a year. Not really a fan of modern egg production, and the vast majority of egg labels are flat out lies. So I just generally avoid eggs. That will change when we move into our new house and can keep a few chickens in the backyard.

 

[gaiages]

I don't eat eggs by themselves very often, so only about 2-3 a week for cooking stuff.

 

[Anon67]

Probably two per day.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

~1-2 dozen per week. I could probably eat eggs for breakfast every day.

 

[Hypron]

0. I never really liked eggs that much and my brother/flatmate is vegan so we don't buy/eat any.

I haven't eaten eggs for about 9 months. When I did eat them it was usually 4 eggs and scrambled for breakfast every Sunday.

 

[norm9]

I buy a carton every two weeks.

 

[zer0das]

About 15 per week. I get a 30 pack for 2 weeks. Scramble about 6-8 for breakfast occasionally, use 2-3 for baking over the course of a few weeks. Sometimes have some other recipes that pull eggs from scrambling.

 

[dekline]

Hundreds, thousands even!

 

[hunnies28]

I eat eggs for breakfast only two times a week so only four eggs. But I'm not counting other food that may contain egg in it.

 

[wenis]

At least a carton a week. Omelletes are so simple and delicious.

 

[Deleted member 245925]

I usually eat two cooked eggs if I have time for breakfast, so I'd say 10 per week. How can some of you eat 6+ eggs per day for breakfast, do you only eat the eggs and nothing else?

 

[dekline]

Buying a dozen eggs and hard boiling them to bring to work for the week is a blessing.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

I have a fried egg or two at the weekend and a bake cake about once a month so... maybe 3 a week on average?

I had that nugget with me for AGES before it came up conversation ("Isn't eating too many eggs bad for you?"). Turns out it's not really an issue.

We cook up a whole whack of them for brunch on weekends.

I usually have a piece of toast and maybe some yogurt or something else on top of the 6-7 eggs. If I only have eggs my stomach might feel sort of funny. I need something a little more solid in addition to eggs to keep my stomach settled.

 

[injurai]

frittatas are incredible

just keep a bunch of frozen veggies on hand, saute them up crack the eggs and bake for a few minutes

super easy

 

[BSsBrolly]

3-4 dozen a week on average. Love eggs.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Consistently eat six a day, so a dozen every two days, so three cartons by the next grocery day

 

[Allforce]

I guess I never realized just how many eggs some people eat on a daily basis. The idea of 4-6 eggs a day is insane to me. Our house goes through maybe a dozen a week, but I think my wife eats most of those.

I look at eggs like a breakfast treat once in a blue moon, so I probably eat them 1-2 times a month. As in, scrambled, fried, etc.

 

[KHlover]

Too lazy to make eggs for breakfast usually, but if we include dinner etc ... 5 eggs per person per week I think

 

[igordennis]

Same as you OP

Too lazy to make eggs? It has to be like the easiest and quickest breakfast item that involves heat.

Why do you look at them like a treat? I mean, they're good for you...

 

[WesternHeretic]

Probably a dozen every 2-3 weeks. Not a huge egg eater, but I always need them in the house because never know when you will need them.

Ain't nobody got time for that on weekdays. Cereals -> Milk or Bread->Butter->Cold cut/cheese/jam

Basically if it's not ready to eat in less than a minute I don't bother with it during weekdays. Love soft boiled eggs or sunny-side eggs on the weekend though.

 

[AkuMifune]

Probably 3 dozen. Family of four.

People saying they don't eat eggs, do you not bake either? Bunch of yokels.

 

[skynidas]

0, gross. You know chickens lay eggs out of their asshole, right?

you know that you are a fucking pussy if that grosses you out right? you are a human, you have kgs of shit inside of you and you shit brown goo out of your ass every day. a lot of things that you touch every day have shit particles on them, your hands probably have shit on them right now, fucking grow up.

 

[Elider]

Before I went vegan, maybe four a week. Mostly for baking, though.

You can microwave eggs. Great in a hurry.

I think he was joking.

 

[Hypemaster]

3 eggs per day, good source of protein for my bulking.

 

[Kevyt]

I have never bought eggs in my entire life

I feel sorry for you. Eggs are OP. You have been missing out.

 

[KHlover]

I think he was joking.

He better be, otherwise there'd be a lot of stuff he should rethink eating/drinking. Like milk, cheese, Yogurt, honey...... lol

 

[ffdgh]

Give or take about 4...within a month or 2.

 

[astroturfing]

my most hated food item so zero. indescribably gross.

fuck eggs

 

[Husker86]

I buy the 36 pack (2 x 18) from Costco. I eat probably 24 a week on my own. If my girlfriend asks for some on some days then bump that to 30.

 

[dekline]

You can do so, so many things with eggs. Even if you hate eggs chances are you eat egg containing foods on the daily. I understand how you can hate them on their own though.

 

[Juicy Bob]

I don't eat eggs, but my GF does.

Now I'm worried. Should I be eating eggs?

 

[Husker86]

They make for incredibly cheap and relatively healthy meals.

 

[BossLackey]

For myself, a dozen a week. Maybe more.

 

[BlueTsunami]

50/50 fat, protein, low carb, micronutrients. If you're into it, tastes good and can be cooked many different ways, added to many dishes. That's how it's possible to eat lots of eggs consistently.

 

[lanella]

I only use them for baking so about 4 a month?

 

[striferser]

5-6 eggs/week

I don't eat eggs, but my GF does.

Easy to make, protein++good stuff, and cheap. What's not to love?

 

[Juicy Bob]

I just tend to stick to microwavable veg pouches and baked beans :/

 

[Kipp]

I don't really understand people who don't eat eggs for breakfast. What do you eat? Tons and tons of bread/some other grain-based meal?

 

[Zero2kz]

6 hard boiled eggs a day, minimum.

 

[Neverforget]

I used to love eggs when I was younger but now whenever I eat them they makes me sick as sin I feel sick afterwards since then I don't eat them as often, I use 2 per week to cook my favorite receipt.

 

[Fireblend]

About 3 a day, so 21 a week.
