How many eggs..............

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

Posted by: leg_press

do you eat for breakfast?

I was thinking along the lines of two whole and two white, which according to the egg carton makes it around 24gs of protein.

I also have branflakes/oats w semi skimmed milk.
2 tsp peanut butter

Depends. With the skim milk and the oats I'd say that's a pretty good breakfast. I'd scrap the PB though...maybe add a few EFA's. You're looking at around 12g of fats with the eggs and the little bit in the oats, and if you add 2 Tbsp of PB that's another 16g or so, which adds up to about 28.

Posted by: leg_press

Ok thought peanut butter was efa, I've got flax and fish oil caps.

Posted by: bigsahm21

I'd go with some of the caps. Don't get me wrong PB is a great fat it's just a lot to add with the egg yolks.

I don't know

what else are you eating?

what are your overall goals?

how much protein do you aim for in each meal? how much protein do you aim for on a daily basis? how much fat do you aim for in each meal? on a daily basis?

2 chicken breasts/ 1 chicken breast, 1 steak/ 1 chicken breast, 1 piece of fish(you get the idea) 1/2 a cup of brown rice and a baked potato or 1 cup of brown rice, veggies& salad, fruit, 2 protein shakes a day(one whey, one casein) three on training days(two whey, one casein) 1-2 bowls of oats/bran flakes per day, thinking of adding wholemeal/granary bread for carbs
what are your overall goals?
Putting on as much bulk as possible while keeping my bodyfat as low as possible/healthy
how much protein do you aim for in each meal?between 20g & 30g how much protein do you aim for on a daily basis?180g how much fat do you aim for in each meal? on a daily basis? Dont know about each meal but I want my healthy fat intake to me about 10/15% of my total calories each day

Think that covers it all
hope that helps

i meant what else are you eating for breakfast.

I don't think 2 whites and 2 whole is bad, as long as it fits into your meal plan. I just wanted to know what your other protein sources were, since that amounts to about 18g of protein.

Posted by: leg_press

I worked it out as about 24 as each egg has 8g of protein, and I thought the yolk had four and so did the white. Do you suggest another whole egg or egg white?

well that is not bad. you are shooting for 20-30g of protein per meal. you have 24 from your eggs and then you have some protein from your oats and you are right near 30g.

Are you eating extra large eggs? My eggs are large and the whole egg only contains 6g of protein.

Posted by: AKIRA

My eggs only contain 6g of protein too. That that is...what without the yolk?

When I make egg salad, I have at least 2 whole eggs and 3 whites. I am just ending a bulk though.

Posted by: leg_press

the egg carton says 'averge per boiled egg 8.5g'

Posted by: fufu

2 wholes, 6 whites

Posted by: AKIRA

I read in BigDyls profile about certain eggs having omega 3 fats and all...so does that make them not as bad? EggLands Best has that shit, but I still cooked them as if they were just regular eggs.

I don't understand your question....."does that make them not as bad?"

what are you asking? If because they have omega 3's they are bad?

Eggs aren't bad in the first place.

In Big's journal, I think its Jodi who asks if the eggs he was using were the ones with the Omega-3s. He said they were and that made me wonder what the difference was...

So the Eggland's Best eggs' fats are better cuz theyve got some omega-3s in them? In other words..

Just for health sakes and not calorie counts...

Eggs containing Omega 3 > Regular ol' eggs?

I mean, is it really a big deal? This sort of shit reminds me of that thread about drinking water after eating. Just sounds like paranoia to me.

2 tsp peanut butter

3 whites - no yellows unless particularly need the fat or potassium and no better source handy - extra large - sometimes with splash or 2 no fat milk for nuked or pot scrambled, 1/2 - 3/4 full 30 gm serve protein shake in water or cup - cup and half of 10 gm / 250 ml no fat milk. total 1/2 - 1 and a bit gms protein / kg bw.

There actually is a taste difference. I think they taste better and fresh. When I was a kid my best friend lived on a farm and we use to get chicken eggs from her mom everyday. They were the best tasting eggs ever! Egglands best eggs remind of those fresh eggs from the farm, not as good as the farm eggs but close enough.

So it's worth buying them? I never did because I sort of assumed that they had been using some crazy organic engineering to make them have omega 3, and I don't like that idea at all.

usually 1 whole and 5 whites.

How many calories are in an egg white (you removed the yolk yourself)?

Posted by: soxmuscle

One large egg carries 17 calories. I'd imagine, given that figure, it would range between 15-20 calories per egg because -well at least for me- sometimes I won't get the entire yolk out or sometimes I'll dump some of the whites out with the yolk.

And yes, I use one of those remover things, but it doesn't always do the trick.

What do people use to separate the yolk from the whites?

Posted by: AKIRA

Its kinda easy. I never fuck it up and I dont use any tools accept a spoon to crack the egg. i scoop the shit out with my fingers.

Posted by: juggernaut

I fuck it up very well. So, I ordered an egg separator. Thing's amazing.

Are those numbers for the egg whites?

Posted by: soxmuscle

In a large egg, there are 17 calories in the egg whites, 73 in the yolk.

A spreadsheet works great in conjunction with a nutritiondata or fitday site.
