Dumb questions - do eggs have carbs?

Re: Eggs

Yes, eggs have carbs. One egg has 0.6 carbs.

Re: Eggs

Atkins carb counter says 0.8g carbs.

In Fitday, the carb count varies from small eggs, to large, to jumbo sized - really depends on what size eggs you use I guess

(Sorry, not trying to sound pedantic here - just thought you should know that different eggs vary in carb amounts, and in Fitday, it would just round up to 1g carb, you know?)

Re: Eggs

Personally I don't think eggs should count as carbs but that's my opinion not Atkins'. The benefits of eggs far outweigh the deficits so they should be "free" food. I usually have 2-3 a day.

*tsk* *tsk* you know you oughtn't say that Iap

Eggs DO have carbs, and for someone like me who can easily eat up to 8 a day, the carbs quickly add up if I don't count them

nomorekugel, eggs are the "perfect" Induction/Atkins food - they have nearly 65%fats/5%carbs/30%protein
