Stupid question about eggs

[ShannonM]

The book says we can eat eggs "liberally." Does that mean we don't count the carbs in them? I think I read that one egg has .8 carb grams or something. So how literally do I interpret "liberally"?

[2big4mysize]

NO, we count all carbs. It means you do not have a limit on the number of eggs you can have it it takes a 6 egg omelette today to satisfy your hunger then you can have it but you do need to count all the carbs in everything veggies spices, herbs, cheeses condiments, eggs and anything else that might have some.

Dr. Atkins believed that it was relatively difficult to eat too many eggs, as they are very filling.

Dr. A never met a girl like me--I could eat omelettes all day long! OK, well not ALL Of the omelette...but I'd sure eat most of it. YUMMMMMMMMM

OOh Juli your so lucky and on the right diet then...I knew a guy whose fav. food was omelettes and he went low carb and dropped 150lbs really fast...I'm too lazy to make omlettes so I am into boiled eggs with mayo...lazy girls deviled eggs..lol

I often eat an omlette for both breakfast and lunch...I could live on them! there so versitile and easy to make!

All the sources I've just looked up seem to say .4 - .6 carbs per large / extra large egg. Theoretically, then, for induction, could one make three 2-egg omelettes for meals throughout the day, dividing their cheese and veggies between them and eating their salads inbetween those meals?

You are making me hungry I think I will have an omlette for my dinner tonight. With all the trimmings. Thanks for the inspiration.

[jcapulet]

LOL...I didn't realize eggs had carbs! Oh well, I usually eat them for breakfast anyway.

[G-Mom]

Dr. A said to eat eggs liberally. I get sick of eggs if I eat them daily. I need a break from them.

You all should try farm fresh eggs. They are 100% better than store bought. You just aren't living until you've watched a chicken lay an egg, picked it up washed it, cooked it and eaten it! I LOVE living on a farm!!!
