We buy our eggs 5 dozen or 15 dozen at a time, depending on which store we
buy them from. We have scrambled eggs, omelettes, deviled eggs, you name
it. Eggs are nutritious and inexpensive.

AHA...... Eddie...

You are showing your prior brainwashing of food evils.

Almost all of the cholesterol that you eat is broken down into more
basic chemistry during digestion, and the great majority of cholesterol
in your body is generated from enzymes and chemistry processes in your
own liver.

This wasn't understood when the "EAT NO CHOLESTEROL" mantra was created
over a generation ago.

This isn't your father's cholesterol (Oldsmobile).

The AMA took down their 1.5 eggs a week recommendation years ago.
Their websites says something to the effect of 'we no longer recommend
a specific limit on eggs'. This is either due to financial/political
pressure from egg producers (95% chance) or because more studies
showed a weaker and weaker link between cholesterol consumption and
the link to heart disease.

Your body manufacturers most of the cholesterol in your blood because
it is vital to life. Until I read up on low carb I assumed that it was
just a toxin/by-product of bad food. I had no idea it serves a vital
funciton in the body or that the body manufacturers more than we ever
consume.

Oh the first 2 months I ate deviled eggs and ate breakfast a lot so I
did a dozen say every 7-10 days. Now I rarely eat breakfast and 12
eggs last 3-5 weeks. You naturally get tired of eating the same things
so these foods should be self limiting unless you are used to
robotically eating the same menu day-in-day-out.

I don't think I'll ever get tired of Sue's chocolate omelette. Great way
to start the day! That's 14 eggs per week without factoring in hard boiled
eggs on salads, egg salad with mayo, etc. We go through a LOT of eggs.

Hah! I have you beat -- I eat 15-21 eggs a week. I need to cook some
hard boiled ones, too, so that I can have an even higher egg consumption!

I can take ya. I'll make deviled eggs, and we'll scarf them down like so
many pieces of popcorn. I'm thinking 3 egg omelettes for dinner.

Deviled eggs are something I've wanted to try to make, but haven't yet. I
need more time.

Walmart has them in 5 dozen boxes, and Sam's Club has them in 15 dozen
boxes. I don't know if it's less expensive to buy them in bulk, but it's
much more efficient. <G>

I'm not really sure what you mean by needing more time. You're too busy to
make them, or you don't know how? If it's the latter, I'd be happy to
explain. They're very easy to make.

I've been eating it over the last 3 weeks, too. Not CONSTANTLY, but at least a
couple of times a week -- I LOVE it! I add protein powder to it and don't fold
it over, so it's more like a frosted pancake. It's low-carb, low-cal, tasty and
nutritious. Works for ME!

I frost it when I double the recipe. A very thick pancake. Just the right
number of carbs for a lunch or dinner for me.

Deviled eggs are something I've wanted to try to make, but haven't yet. I
need more time.

Be inventive with them. This of the egg yolk centers like an omelette
or quiche center...

mexican style - jalapenos, salsa, cheedar
breakfast style - western omelet, crumbled bacon, tarragon,
hollandaise; I like a little bit of horseradish & tarragon
add in finely diced, peppers, zucchini, tomato, chiles, ham, salami,
pepperoni, onion, sausage, any variety of cheese...

You can vary them in a lot of ways and it is easy to try a different
recipe for just 2 eggs each. Half dozen eggs can make 3 variations
easy to do. I've even experimented with using sour cream and cream
cheese instead of mayo. The trick is finding interesting combos for
your taste buds.

Do the arithmatic. Quota during Induction is 20 at least half
from veggies. That leaves 10 or less from all other sources.
Eggs run about 0.6 each. If you have no coffee or dairy or
any other incidentals that's 10/0.6 eggs or 16 per day.

But you can't realistically eat nothing but meat, eggs and
water. Especially if you have your quota of dairy that's
about 4 grams and other incidentals a few more. Realistically
around 4 per day are plenty.
