Do you salt your eggs? Eggs have a very low carb count so it's unlikely to be the eggs themselves. It is more likely to be water gain that comes with salt intake.

Eggs have zero carbs.

eggs have about 1 carb per. depends on the size of course! some are .3, some are .6 etc based on the size.

eating 2 eggs at .6 is over 1 gram so yeah, be careful if you're strict about your counts.
i count each egg at 1 gram to be on the safe side.

to OP: yea i agree with not eating them for a week and see what happens.

After reviewing your diary's information, the one thing that sticks out like a very sore thumb is the fact you consume several high-sodium type foods.

That Subway sub you had the other day is a nemesis for sodium and alternative preservatives.

Kiebasa - a preserved meat with sodium and other nitrates and preservatives


Here is some interesting info on "Average" canned pumpkin:

Your half cup of an average is actually 9.9g carbohydrates, 3.6g fiber..... that yields 6.3g net carbs



One egg-white from a large egg:

This is only .2g of carbohydrates..

Im sorry to say this but, eggs/egg whites are not the problem. The problem lies within the food-choices you are making that are notorious for preservatives, sodium, etc..


Some of your entries do not contain accurate nutritional-information-related data.

On August 2nd, you had grilled chicken - a 3oz portion. Your entry shows 90 calories, 1g fat, 20g protein.

Here is the real nutritional data on Chicken breast:
http://www.calorieking.com/foods/calories-in-chicken-broilers-or-fryers-breast-roasted-meat-only-without-skin_f-ZmlkPTY4MzEy.html
3oz portion -> 142 Calories, 3.1g fat, .9g sat fat, 26.7g protein,


The reason for your stall is that you are not relying on accurate information for your daily intake. MFP does not always have accurate NI-related data. You are either selling yourself short with processed food which are considered poor choices, or you are not accounting enough for the food you are taking in because the data is completely wrong.

Eggs are not part of the problem.

A helpful suggestion would be to create your own list of foods and enter in the nutritional information manually.

A great website to consider is www.calorieking.com - it is a free online tool to use if you want real nutritional information. This site also enables the viewer to change the portion by either the drop down box, or you can enter a quantity as well.

True followers of Atkins do not rely on prepackaged foods at all. Its real foods that Dr. Atkins' program specifically states, with a very select few minor exceptions that involve extreme limitation. (artifical sugars). It does not involve Subway sandwiches or turkey-bacon, in fact nothing at all.

Good meal planning ahead of time using fresh whole foods, as outlined on Dr. Atkins' website, and a breakdown of what each phase targets is the best way to go.


Good luck,
