Hi everyone! It's been a long while since I've done Atkins. I did it for about 2 years in 98/99. I've read the book over and over, but it's been a while and now I can't find it. I'm going to go buy the new one as soon as I can (mine didn't do the net carb thing yet...it was a long time a go!) ANYWAY....does anyone remember if there's a limit to how many eggs you should eat in one day or week? They're one of my favorites and it's so easy to eat a hardboiled egg when you need a quick snack and the kids are climbing all over you! But, I have 2 usually for breakfast right now...should I not have anymore?

Thanks for the help everyone. I'm loving this site and all the tools it offers. It feels so good to be back in the Atkins zone! Jenna

Atkins doesn't list a limit on eggs. They do have a small amount of Carbs though, 0.6 I think...so like sweeteners, dairy, etc...they could add up. I like eggs more than meat and I've been eating them daily with no problem. I've done alot of looking around forum, and tons of people here keep hard-boiled or deviled eggs on hand for a quick LC snack.

Enjoy--and pick up the new book as soon as you can..its full of great info. I picked up mine at Walmart for $6--Mercy

No, Atkins does not specifically limit eggs, in fact, he calls it the perfect food

1) The only limits imposed are to eat until satisfied but not stuffed.
2) Eggs have trace amounts of carbs, but you'd need to eat a heck of a lot of them, so see #1 about that one

I have eaten eggs every day pretty much for a year, and I have no problems...

Eggs are great - eat as many as you like, just count the carbs. I go through 18 or so a week.

Take care and good luck, Julie

Thanks, guys! Y'all are all so helpful! I guess there's still something from the 90's in the back of my head telling me to limit my egg intake!

I think I'm gona like it here!
