I get that the point is inflation, but why eggs? If they went to $12/dozen, it would cost me like $4 extra dollars per week.
Most weeks maybe just un oeuf. I think since I stopped eating breakfast and found out my body hates gluten (so heavily reducing baked goods, my other main use of eggs), my egg consumption went way down. The one weekly is generally from going to get sushi and there being some tamagoyaki in there. I guess the odd exception is throwing one (boiled or raw) into soup and the rare occasion that I knock out a fried rice.
Edit: I think 10 local eggs are around 500 yen, at least the last time I checked. More expensive than non-local, and the price has definitely gone up generally in the last few years.
Almost none. Allergies.
That sucks. Do you have to do egg free vaccines?
As many as possible. It’s one of the perks of my new job, free eggs.
I didn’t know there was afree egg job. Farm? Breakfast restaurant?
breakfast restaurant indeed

Depends where I am with training, but up to 70 a week.
Wow! That’s a shitload of eggs! Do you do anything with the shells, like composting?
Nah, I live in an apartment and my city doesn’t have green waste bins :(
Now I have the rocky montage music stuck in my head
about 3 fiddy
That’s a lot of eggs!
It depends. Eggs are part of cakes and pancakes, and a very quick to cook healthy thing to eat. Family of 4 now, we go through between 8 eggs on a light week and 32 eggs on a week I make a lot of egg stuff, or if someone is bulking, like today I made shakshuka for supper and a cake, that’s eight eggs in one meal.
I think they are a commodity and historically a cheap source of animal protein, that’s why they are talked about.
Protein is not a nutrient that anyone is deficient in. Any plant that humans eat provides enough protein if you consume enough to meet your calorie requirements. You have never met a person who is in protein deficiency who was not also literally in starvation from not having eaten. The whole “we need a cheap source of protein” thing is a myth. It’s everywhere, it’s inescapable. It’s literally the building blocks of all life on Earth. It’s like people in the 50s extolling the health virtues of smoking, it’s pure marketing bullshit that we have become completely steeped in.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcopenia
Sarcopenia is a real thing, happening to people who eat a “healthy” diet.
The fact of the matter is most people are not eating enough bioavailable and complete protein (with all the essential amino acids). If your missing any of the amino acids you can’t use that “protein”
Not to mention food labels use crude protin, a measure of nitrogen, they don’t actually measure the amino acids.
Sadly this means many people trying to hit their moderate protein targets of 1g/kg bodyweight are absolutely not getting enough protein.
Using this graph as an example, different foods have different amounts of bioavailable nutrition. Nobody is going to eat 12kg of processed grains a day to hit their minimums.
I would never be foolish enough to say that nutrition isn’t important, but most people who are becoming frail in the western world are doing so because they lack exercise, not sources of protein.
Green leafy vegetables are no slouch either. I remember we had a chart with nutrition per calorie and collard greens were way up there. Eggs have much protein per calorie. I agree with foggenboody though, sarcopenia is mostly from inactivity, and particularly from not doing strength training. Your body will find the nutrition in whatever you eat if you lift first.
The chart is in the message you replied to. Dark leafy greens are pretty dense per calorie, but not so much per gram. Something like 800g a day needed of dark leafy greens.

If you want to lookup individual food options
As far as a Sarcoprnia goes you need both activity AND protein. If you neglect protein, your body can’t maintain muscles. As jerkface above was saying that nobody is protein deficient, I was refuting their claim
I just don’t really like the taste, so about 1 per week in my fried rice.
Zero. The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children in that they are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection. Consuming eggs is shameful.
Do you drink water? Or breathe air? Do you know how much bacteria is floating around in the water you drink and the air you breathe? You consume millions of micro organisms everyday, how dare you deprive them of their full life cycle, shame on you!
Oh yes. It’s quite horrible that adult animals need to work to survive.
It’s also quite horrible that I had kids and doomed them to a life of work, suffering from wrestling with mortality, and ultimately ending in death.
Treating animals like people isn’t the great thing you think it is.
At least chickens don’t have to do taxes.

So raising your own chickens and giving them a fine life as long as they live is immoral?
People like you are why vegans are fucking hated, can’t even talk compromise.
Best part is, you’re too fucking stupid to see when you’re acting against animal interests. How’s that rhetoric working out for you? Winning hearts and minds? Or turning more and more against you?
Eggs themselves, not many if at all. The issue is when it comes to baking, while not often, can consume through a whole dozen or more in a single week, specially in the winter. Wanting to find alternatives, I hear applesauce is good.
I feel like it all depends on what you’re cooking and what the egg is meant to do. For brownies/cake applesauce is pretty good, when I make desert breads I use a flax egg. If whole point of the egg is to help hold things together (which it usually is) and i know my fake egg isn’t gonna cut it I’ll throw in a dash of corn starch along with whatever egg substitute I’m using.
When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs every morning to help me get large. And now that I’m grown I eat five dozen eggs, so I’m roughly the size of a barge.
So about 336 and 420 a week, respectively
I see you’ve got biceps to spare.
Probably like 2 dozen a week. I like eggs lol.
Prob 4-5. I mix up breakfasts with oatmeal or cereal.
As many as I feel like.
Zero. I used to have a fried egg for lunch every day but many years ago something switched in my brain and now the flavor of them really puts me off.
