This may win a dumbest thread award, but I’m actually pretty curious.
Egg-whites only don’t count. I mean real eggs a day.
I usually eat them six at a time, so some days it’s just six, many it’s 12, sometimes when I’m extra lazy or broke it’s 18. So I probably end up consuming on average 9 eggs a day throughout the year.
That’s “a lot” in FDA food pyramid land… I would like to confirm that that’s not a lot here…
you’re fine. the fda recommendations are out of date for the most part, and they’re also taking into account that most people are “couch potatoes” who aren’t interested in BBing
3 whole eggs in my morning omelet, then maybe 4 eggs whites.
I personally would like more, but my wife is worried about cholesterol because I have high cholesterol inherited from both of my parents. I keep telling her dietary cholesterol is different than blood cholesterol, but she doesn’t listen.
Right now I’m up to 12 a day, and I’m eating 3,500 ish kcal a day. While I progress and I need to eat more and more, I"ll probably end up at ~5,000 kcal a day and 2 dozen eggs. I like eggs…

I don’t know exactly, but I’m guessing somewhere between 3500-5000 daily. That’s usually 8-10 eggs per day. 1/4 to 1/3 gallon whole milk or so, 3 shakes of about 50g-60g protein (1 AM, one PreWO, one PostWO, maybe another before bed), 1-2 lb beef or other meat daily (usually steak or rotisserie chicken).
However much cream is in my coffee if I have coffee that day. Maybe some greek yogurt or cottage cheese or Nat PB, or cheese. Sometimes I eat braunsweiger with eggs in teh AM. EVOO when cooking. Sometimes butter in the eggs.
Add in a potato or two or rice or occasional pizza if I’m going “all out” (I’ve been only eating starchy carbs on weekends the past month or so).
I’m not neurotic about the diet. I try to minimize the junk and try to hit some minimum throughout the day. I can tell by pics and clothes if I’m overdoing one way or the other.
