Eggs with Omega-3

(CLICK HERE here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Ok, I went to Wal-Mart today and while I was getting eggs, I saw these brand that claims to have 660mg of Omega-3 per egg, so I was wondering is that they feed them hens with a special food or all the eggs contain Omega-3?

Actually - you are right.

The usual omega-3 content of an egg is anything from about 35-50mg... So in order for them to create these special omega-3 eggs they feed the hens a diet that increases the omega-3 content (depends on where the hens are - but it can be thing like flaxmeal, fish meal, soybean oil etc etc)...

Thank you Emma! And some clowns here were laughing
I was curious, because them eggs were $2.44 a dozen, while the ones I bought are like $1.20 for a dozen.

I eat the Land O Lakes omega 3 eggs.

I just don't wanna buy something expensive without making sure it ain't BS. So is better to eat those eggs with omega-3 than taking fish oil caps?

If you intend on eating the eggs with the yolk, then tyhe Omege 3 eggs are the way to go, if not, then just get regular eggs, all the omega-3's are in the yolk.

Thanks Dale Usually when I eat eggs, I eat 5-6 whites and 2 yolks, so it would be 1200mg of Omega-3 if I buy those, so I guess I'll stick to the cheap ones, lol!

Eat 2 whole omega 3 eggs and 4 whites from regular eggs, that's what I do.

I would still have your fish oil caps... They have a different ratio of the omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) which are important.
