What Kind of Eggs Do You Eat?

Supplements and Nutrition
#1

Cheapest? Brown? Naturally raised? Added Omega 3’s?

I’ve always eaten the ones with Omega 3’s, but just bought some brown ones to try out. It probably doesn’t matter too much.

EDIT: Just googled and read a couple links stating that there is no nutritional difference between brown and white eggs.

#2

I eat normal brown eggs just for cost.

#3

Fuck man, the other day I went to the store with the intention of buying one carton of omega 3 eggs and one carton of regulars so I could use the whites. It turned out that the omega 3 were cheaper than the regular eggs. And this has been a common occurrence since. Fucking ecoomy and the cost of groceries.

So to answer, I just buy all omega 3 now.

How do they get more omega 3’s in them? What do they feed the chickens?

I get omega 3 eggs 90% of the time. Wanted to try brown. Won’t again now that I know they’re the same as whites.

#5

I think they feed the chickens flax seed and I buy omega 3 eggs too.

#6

I throw out the whites and only eat the yolks.

#7

What’s with white eggs? I’ve only seen them in the US and not here or in SA.

I eat organic eggs, sometimes with extra omega 3’s, but mostly because they taste better to me.

#8

The larger/cheaper eggs for cost.

#9

White Jumbo eggs.

Go big or go home =)

#10

20 eggs for 79p/1$50cent

is what i eat.

#11

Ostrich eggs, I wish…

#12

Always ate regular brown eggs my whole life. Then switched to Omega-3 enriched a few months ago and they taste way better, and only cost a few cents extra.

#13

Cage-free free to roam chicken eggs. Usually mix with raw milk and make raw milk-egg protein shakes mixed with some cinammon and stevia.

#14

I eat Omega-3 enriched Tyrannosaurus Rex eggs.

#15

Wal-Mart has a 30-pack of eggs for under $3.00. large, white eggs. Can’t beat that price when Omega-3 eggs are around $4/dozen

#16

Only difference between brown and white eggs is the type of chicken that lays the egg!

But i buy whatever is cheapest and here in Canada its either the brown or white eggs. I’ll buy the Omega 3’s if i plan on eating the whole egg.

#17

I had a source for free range chicken eggs for the first few months of summer. $1.25/dozen.

Now it’s back to the cheapest eggs.

Ditto. I used to get the cheap plain white eggs because they were like $0.85/dozen. Now I buy nothing but Omega-3s and egg white cartons because the omega-3 eggs are pretty much the same price as regular eggs, about $2.80/dozen.

#19

omega 3 eggs.

omega-3 eggs are about $1-1.50 more here than regular eggs

#20

Chicken.
