Ok I only started today.....I know youre allowed 20net carbs a day...do eggs wtc count towards that????

Hi Kerryanne,
Yes, eggs count towards your 20 carbs. Depending on the size and type you use they have about .6 carb each. Have fun, you will be amazed at how easy this will be for you. Just follow the book and you will do great!

When I first started out, I had no idea eggs had carbs in them. Atkins listed them as a free food, and that is how I treated them. It was not until months later, when I found these boards I found out eggs had carbs to count. But you know what? Where I was just starting out, and not yet into ketosis to help with hunger, not counting them didn't hurt me at all. And I would still use them as a free food to help me get into the new eating style if I had to do it all over again.
