Ask Lemmy

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.

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.

I have like four every six months.

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.

42 a week, or 6 a day.

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

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.

Almost none. Allergies.

Zero now that the price has gone up.

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.

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.

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

about 3 fiddy

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.

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.

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.

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.

0. Eggs are not worth what they charge.

When I was younger about 14 eggs a week. Now about 9.

Where I am eggs have only gone up about $0.20 in the last few months. Still under $6 per dozen for cage free eggs. Maybe $3.50 for caged eggs?

A few a week, apparently 3 to 4 a week is optimum for health.
