Eating 20 eggs in one day

Edit: this thread isn't serious. I want to try it, but I know realistically I will hate eggs if I ever did this. And I love them too much to do that.

I saw a thread recently where an individual on here monomealed Snickers bars for the day, and it got me thinking. What could I eat a lot of to hit my goals?

If I ate 20 eggs in one day, I would only be 150 calories under my daily goal, only 21g of fat over my daily goal, and would hit 120g of protein for the day.

What food could you "monomeal" for the day to hit your calorie, protein, and fat goals?

Also...is it bad that I want to try this? I love hard boiled eggs. Love.

    Yeah but WHAT ABOUT CARBS DUDE? I can't do this. I love all macros too much. I'd probably just stick to PB so I can get all 3 in lol. otherwise I'll do all cheese and be sad at lack of carbs.

    Not that I'd want to, but.. cottage cheese. 7 cups = ~1,400 calories, 31g of fat, 217g of protein. Protein would be waaay overboard though.

    You're a stick of butter and a bulletproof coffee away from that keto egg fast. You can do this. I believe in you.

    Sure you could try it but you'd be ingesting basically no carbs and you would have a nice does of vitamin and minerals deficiencies.

    It would just be for one day, if I actually did it.

    That would also require me to buy two dozen eggs, cook them all, and find a way to transport around 14/15 eggs to work for two meals without breaking them, haha.

    Oh, I love my carbs too.
    But eggs though.
    Hard boiled eggs all day every day.

    She said for the day. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies wouldn't even remotely be an issue, neither would no carbs.

    OP if you like eggs that much go for it.

    Yes, and apparently they have a support group.

    I almost want to try it, because I'm going through a phase where I'm legitimately going through a dozen eggs in half a week, and have to have two cartons at hand to accomodate my egg-eating ways. But I'm afraid if I do it just as a funny one-day experiment, I'll never want to eat another egg ever again.

    So many rules.
    Why not just eat hard boiled eggs? It's so much easier!
    Also, eating a minimum of 6 eggs daily is around 420 calories when you don't count the diet soda you can drink or fats you're apparently supposed to add in. Sounds like an awful VLCD fast!

    Well, aim for that, but tell yourself you can back out at any time. I've eaten up to four in one day. 15 seems. . . fun. It seems fun.

    Well, you also get an ounce of cheese per egg (so 480+) and a tablespoon of oil per egg. (720+)

    All I can think of is how disgusting monomealing Snickers sounds. I'm paranoid about trans fats cause they're really bad for you - trans fats be all up in tha Snix barz...and to eat them all day? Ahhhh!!! Ok, sorry. Otherwise I think eggs sounds cool. Maybe I would monomealing steak but that would be pricey. Or pizza, I've pretty much done that one before. Probably cereal too.

    Ok. That's not so bad. More calories, I like that.

    this is me. We have 2 dozen eggs most of the time because I'm regularly doing 2-egg omelets.

    You've gotta love the people who eat too much or particular foods, thinking just because it meets their macros, it won't have any negative health impact :) ignorance

    The pizza monomeal day sounds awesome. Plus I could get carbs. See @ana3067‌ , I found a better idea!

    20 eggs isn't really that much over the course of a day...one sitting that's another story. If you split that over 6-7 meals I doubt you'll lose your egg desire, I'd be more worried that you will want to keep going on a regular basis :)
