Well I love eggs, so much to do with them. Best protein grab out there, only problem is I have to start taking out some yolk that killing my high carb diet.

Who else likes them eggs.

    I keep chickens and their eggs are the absolute best. In a bit of a seasonal lull right now but man when they are laying, it's eggs all the time. Can't bring myself to buy supermarket eggs.

    They are definitely a great source, people at work hate it lol, so I try to keep my eggs at home before work and make some kind of chicken chilli or rice fry with eggs and tuna. They don't *kitten* as much about tuna

    The yolk is cholesterol, not carbohydrate. Enjoy in good science.

    Yes but the fat level is over powering my carb diet

    This confuses me. Are you focusing on maximizing carbohydrate intake while minimizing fat and protein? It's not necessarily wrong, it's just unusual that anyone posts comments without occupying the extremities of keto or vegan, with the occasional vegan keto unicorn.

    huh....keto kind is nothing like high carb...that makes no sense...

    i do high carb (279g at low and 379g at high) - if i want eggs i do 1 normal egg and bulk up with egg whites on high days (lower fat) and on higher fat days, i do more normal eggs

    I may have made it hard for people to understand, probably why I barely made it out of high school lol

    I am trying to run a high carb diet, with a good protein intake also, and less fat. Guess you can say it's keto kind of diet.

    Huh? That is almost literally the exact opposite of keto.

    I wasn't trying to do a keto diet, I am actually taking on my own diet. High carbs low fat, and protein, I have never looked up on keto diet, just figured by Barry saying is was somewhat like keto.

    I stick with choosing a higher carb or fat, never have both the same protein stays the same.

    You should be able to fit in yolks on that (I cannot throw away yolks, some use one with 2-3 whites). I'd leave off other sources of fat (butter, cheese, olive oil) to fit in the yolks personally, if it were an issue, although I know eggs with yolks aren't high protein.

    That's not really high carb (although the macros seem fine).

    If this is just a "fun to complain about stuff" post, I get it and appreciate it, and agree that eggs are great.

    I am betting OP regrets mentioning yolks at all now in a thread just meant to talk about how great eggs are.

    Eggs are such a staple of my daily diet that I couldn't imagine not eating them regardless of my macro split.
