Carbs in Eggs

[Strmtrper6]

Alright, I may have found what is stalling me.

How many carbs are in a whole large hard-boiled egg? Some materials say zero, some say one or two. I have been averaging three eggs a day which wouldn't even be allowed on induction if it is two carbs per.

Should I quit eating eats?

Eggs have .6 gms/carbs per egg. I doubt seriously that they're your staller. Most folks can eat as many eggs as they like, so don't worry about that. Perhaps if you post some of your menus, some of the folks here could help you find the culprit.

In induction you are allowed up to 20 g carbs per day (most of which should come from veggies), so you're ok with eggs. They are a terrific food!

Well I was just figuring most being around 15. If eggs have two each and I eat three then I am already at 21 grams for that day without anything else.

Thanks for the advice on the posting a menu. I will go do that int he correct section of the forums when I get home and can check labels.

Even rounding up to 1g per egg, that would only bring you to 18g per day. You might want to post a typical day's menu -- we might be able to spot the culprit!

I'm not sure you're understanding this diet correctly. It's 20 carbs a day, not 2.

Do you want to post a sample menu for the day? Perhaps you're making some other errors (it's easy to make mistakes when you're getting the hang of it) or we can help you ID what's stalling you?

PS: I count eggs at less than one carb each - .6

I usually have at least 5 eggs a day.

Sounds like your crockpot wasn't fully cleaned from the last time you made a roast and when the eggs boiled, the shell cracked a little bit and leftover "broth" made its way inside. That being said, I'd never mess around with eggs that are even slightly off color, off smell, or off taste.
