How many eggs a day are too many?


#41

I have it on good authority, that 33 eggs per day would not be a good idea.
WORD.


#42

34 is OK though…


#43

Like everything in the food world, there is a duality. Too little, not good. Too many not good. Listen to your body and its functions. I love eggs, natures perfect food. I eat them only 2 ways, poached on top of homemade sour-dough rye bread smothered in grass-fed butter or slow cooked scramble. Not to worry.

In an omelet? 4. Deviled? 12 no problem :rofl:

I read somewhere to cook the eggs on low heat or soft boil them. Using high heat does something to the yolk that’s bad for you

I haven’t heard that before. I use my Instant Pot to boil eggs since the shells slide right off, even freshly laid eggs and it certainly isn’t low heat or a soft boil.

eta: but the yolks are never green so 6 min in an IP doesn’t ā€œovercookā€ them.

Never heard that.

@MiKetoAF they always look so good, but I’ve never had the patience to prepare eggs this way.

Define high heat and what about it makes the yolk bad? Eggs should not be cooked at 400° simply because it’s not the best way to cook an egg. Other than that I have never heard that it turns the yolk toxic.


(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #50

I believe it’s the sulphur in the yolk that causes the colour change, and if I’m remembering correctly, it’s actually a blueish-green colour, though I’m sure it looks different to everyone (and probably depends also on precisely what nutrients the hen had been eating).

Furthermore, the colour change simply looks a bit odd; it’s by no means toxic.

For US ā€œlargeā€ eggs, we use 1 cup water, 12 eggs in the basket we bought for the IP, 5 minutes on manual, then release the pressure and put the eggs into cold water (with ice cubes). That seems to work well.

Large eggs are about 50 grams, which I know because I still make chaffles from 3 eggs (about 150 grams), divided into two portions, about 75 grams each, then add around 60 grams of cheese to each portion. Put each portion into a ā€œnormalā€ (not small) waffle maker.

How many chickens do you have?
