With the price of eggs, I’d be bankrupt.
My great Uncle John ate a 48 egg omelet while in the army early in the 20th century. I made him sick.
How can you stand eating about 2 dozen eggs a day?
That’s one egg an hour everyday for a month!
Eggs are good!
But I suppose that one can have too much of a good thing!
In before the “Cool Hand Luke” posts..
23 eggs a day?
I eat 2 McDonald’s sausage & egg McMuffins daily so that’s 2 eggs a day everyday, I hate to cook, I’m 73.
We have definitely been lied too.
I am back on butter and salt. Oh,and doubled my meat consumption.
Haven’t started on lard,yet.
Look at all the people who lived into their 80s and 90s.
They didn’t eat low fat or little or no meat.
That’s nothing....Cool Hand Luke at 50 at one time. :)
I recently read something by Vince Gironda where he advocated eating 36 raw eggs per day as part of a conditioning regimen.
A leftist PBS style “journalist” named Morgan Spurlock ate only McDonald’s meals all day for a month in 2004 to make a documenary movie and write a book and then reported his physical and mental health had changed for the worse. Preposterous.
His Supersize Me film was nominated for an Academy Award.
This is not a Babylon Bee joke.
His name should have tipped us off he was nutty.
Years later, on regular diet for a long time, he died at age 53.
Interesting health ping.
Most of the cholesteral in the egg is the yolk, but I have read that by eating the whole egg digesting and using the egg’s cholesteral is aided, as opposed to only eating the yolk. And agg whites alone have much less nutritional benefit:
Vitamins: The yolk contains all of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as thiamin (vitamin B1) and vitamin B12.
Minerals: The yolk contains most of the phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper, and manganese.
Antioxidants: The yolk contains lutein and zeaxanthin, which protect the eyes from harmful sunlight and reduce the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.
Choline and selenium: The yolk contains choline and selenium.
Protein: The yolk contains almost half of an egg’s protein.
Fat: The yolk contains most of an egg’s fat, which is mostly unsaturated and helps the body absorb other nutrients.
Calories: The yolk contains three-fourths of an egg’s calories.
We have 14 chickens. Can’t eat the eggs fast enough but I bake ,and eggs are usually included. Any eggs left over are freeze dried and powdered for future use.
I occasionally will scramble up to 10 eggs at once and when the price was good would buy my eggs in the Walmart 5 dozen box, but 700 eggs in a month would put you off eggs.
A chef who would serve them in their total variety of ways might make it doable.
Back in the ‘80s this place I worked at had an incredible Sunday Brunch buffet - it was truly a work of art. But this one guy would order a dozen eggs over easy, eschewing the elaborate fare.

Cool hand Luke would be proud.
For years now, I have almost exclusively ate nothing but red meat, fish, eggs, cheese, butter, and full fat dairy products. Maybe some berries now and then and some raw honeycomb (to put in my yogurt).
My cholesterol and overall blood work has all come to normal levels. My type 2 diabetes symptoms have disappeared. I don't get the flu or even common cold anymore. I fall asleep almost instantly and get 7-8 hours of good sleep every night.
This is all in total opposition to that "food pyramid" that the government pushed on us all these decades.
Did he eat eggs or the equivalent of eggs?
