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.

My son ate a ton of eggs when he was veg. Now he's vegan and eats fake eggs which are much more expensive.
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.
zero, vegan
Around 12.
Eggs are incredible nutrition value and I'd still pay 12$ for 12 eggs. In fact I do splurge on local market eggs that come from free range chickens and here they are around 5$ for 12 which is double the factory price but still and an incredible steal.
That's why the great American egg whine of 2024 is so confusing. Min wage in the US is still like 24++ eggs an hour which is an insane thing to complain about. Y'all need financial literacy not cheaper eggs.
i eat one to two eggs per day, so anywhere from seven to fourteen a week. it's about $1 per egg.
... hong kong $.
If we count fast food breakfast sandwiches and meals at places maybe 6 or 7 a week. If not, zero, as I usually make regular ol sandwiches at home.
I forgot to count those - i do grab a breakfast burrito or sandwich for lunch about once a week.
I'm vegan BTW
How do you know if someone is vegan?
Literally everyone else in this thread: "I'm not vegan! I think it's fine to abuse animals." But yeah, vegans are the ones who are always talking about it...
no one is fine with abusing animals
Yeah, but how many eggs do you eat? /s
I guess around 8-12, sometimes more, rarely less.
Almost none. Allergies.
That sucks. Do you have to do egg free vaccines?
~30
It’s not just inflation. Eggs are experiencing a supply problem due to avian flu.
Six; 42 a week! Easy way to hit my protein goals everyday and maintain those gains :D
I eat 3 eggs every morning. 21 a week.
Eggs are too expensive.
I don't really eat eggs. I have ducks that lay eggs and if I really want some, I eat what they produce. I might try selling their eggs as a side hustle but a lot of people are grossed out by the concept of eating duck eggs for some reason lol
How are they compared to chicken eggs?
Mostly yolk, a richer flavor, and GREAT for baked goods. My girls are a variety of breeds, so I get an assortment of different sizes. Used to get blue eggs from my mallard until she stopped laying when she hit duck menopause lol
Richer flavor, they have higher levels of fat and protein. I much prefer them to chicken eggs.
8 per day so 56 per week; please keep them cheap
you eat 8 eggs EVERYDAY?
We are chatting with a dead person's sentient cholesterol.
LOL
Gaston just doxed himself
lol yep, every day for breakfast; scrambled with some butter, sour cream, salt and pepper 😋
8 eggs for breakfast alone? Daily?
Correct. I have a minimal lunch and moderate supper with no snacks or desserts. Breakfast is my primary meal of the day.
You ever try throwing some green onions or mushrooms in there? I used to eat almost the same except for the sour cream
I've mixed in different stuff over the years though I usually don't as I'm after a quick and filling breakfast to get me through the work day
Feta and jalapenos
Yum!
Most weeks maybe just un oeuf. I think since I stopped eating breakfast and found out my body hates gluten (so heavily reducing baked goods, my other main use of eggs), my egg consumption went way down. The one weekly is generally from going to get sushi and there being some tamagoyaki in there. I guess the odd exception is throwing one (boiled or raw) into soup and the rare occasion that I knock out a fried rice.
Edit: I think 10 local eggs are around 500 yen, at least the last time I checked. More expensive than non-local, and the price has definitely gone up generally in the last few years.
