    Lack of fiber, lack of nutrients except for protein and fat - if whole eggs, very high dietary cholesterol; if only egg whites, more lack of nutrients except for protein.

    Eggs are very nutrient dense.

    All I can think of are the horrid egg farts....

    At one point I was eating 2 hard boiled eggs for breakfast, eventually I got sick of them and it was quite a time before I could stand to eat one again.

    I don't know that they cause more farting (2 eggs are very commonly part of my breakfast and I haven't experienced it, but then I often eat broccoli at breakfast and haven't experienced any ill effects from that). I do think there's a smell to gas that I associate with eating lots and lots of eggs -- not really sure why, but I know what is being referred to, I think.

    My feeling about an egg fast (in addition to that I expressed above) is that it's very likely to put one off eggs, and that would be a huge shame.

    Several people have mentioned gas from eating eggs, but I've never experienced this. Both my husband and I eat at least two eggs every day and haven't experienced "egg farts". Is this a thing?

    Maybe it doesn't affect everyone, and I'm not sure if it actually causes MORE gas than usual, but I know for sure when my husband's been eating more eggs because of the delightful sulphurous whiff that starts emanating from his vicinity...

    you what? never heard of it... I would be so sad if I couldn't eat eggs :/
    you're not eating eggs right? or did I misinterpret...?

    It's actually the opposite... pretty much nothing BUT eggs, and fat. Oh the smells!

    Smells? What kind of eggs are you eating??

    I was wondering what people were talking about! I love eggs, have them every weekend and sometimes during the week (although just eggbeaters during the week). Never have any issues at all with "smells". :) Nor does my BF.
