Re: Can you have too many eggs?
2000 calories?? are you sure? that doesnt sound right! did you check the "serving" sizes that fitday had chosen?
you can eat eggs liberally, but i never go over 3 in a day because i know it will cause bowel issues with me

Re: Can you have too many eggs?
I was wondering the same thing. this past week I went to the cafeteria by the gym (both located in the hospital close to where I work) and get an egg, cheese and mushroom omelette...I'm thinking that's a whole lotta eggs....
I don't know how many eggs they use because they ladle it on the grill.....Comment

Re: Can you have too many eggs?
How on earth are you getting 2000 calories out of that?
3 eggs= 244 calories and 2 carbs
mushrooms= 6 calories and 1 carb
cheddar= 228 calories and 1 carb
bacon= 144 calories
601 calories and 4 grams of carb.
How are you entering this stuff in, Ashley? Cuz those numbers are WAY off!

Re: Can you have too many eggs?
BTW- You can eat too much of anything. Remember to count your eggs as about 1 gram of carb apiece and that most of your carbs are supposed to be coming from veggies. Other than that, you're good to go.

Re: Can you have too many eggs?
I usually eat 7 or 8 eggs a day. Fitday will automatically do CUPS of eggs, so you have to select individual eggs (small, medium or large).Start date: 7/29/2007

Re: Can you have too many eggs?
Yeah, I eat at least 5 eggs a day. Love devilled eggs as a snack.My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people.

Re: Can you have too many eggs?
According to the USDA databaseOriginally posted by EmDee
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/
one cup of shredded cheese weighs 113 grams/3.63 ounces, so half a cup would be about half of our 'allowance'.
If it was not shredded (which 'fluffs' it up) but measured melted (or packed really tightly till solid) it would be about 244 grams/7.8 ounces per cup, so half a cup would be the whole 'allowance'.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
