Zero Carb Egg Brand

[Atkinsatkinsatkins]

Hey everyone this is my first day on the forum. My brother lost 60lbs on atkins and my mom got inspired and she started in march and lost over 30lbs so now Im on the diet!!! Anyway there is a brand of eggs called Egg Lands's Best with zero carbs per egg. The chickens are on a special vegitarian diet that makes this possible. We get ours at shoprite. Hope this helps.

Hen on a vegetarian diet... Interesting. So why does a vegetarian hen lay 0 carb eggs?

If you look at the nutritional information on Eggland's website, their comparison to "regular" eggs for carbs is zero to zero. I'd say they're using the old round down technique.

P.S. I use Eggland's myself - love them!

Most chickens are on "vegetarian diets" because they are fed grains. It's the free range or cage free chickens who are able to omnivorously because they can peck worms out of the ground and eat insects.

Anyhow, I doubt those eggs are "0" carbs because the egg yolk contains carbohydrates. The developing chick feeds off the yolk, so that's were all the nutrients lie. Unless they genetically altered the yolks to contain absolutely no carbs.

This is a link to their webcite FAQ's they also have contact information : Frequently Asked Questions about Eggland's Eggs It has lots of information on their Hens and their eggs. Hope this helps.

I think we will have to count the carbs till we have more scientific proofs. But thanks for trying to help. We always need help.

Are you eating a lot of eggs?
Good luck with your loss.

Well mainly in the morning I have 3 eggs and 3 slices of turkey bacon which has less fat than regular bacon. But sometimes I scramble a few at night with pepper. Breakfast is my favorite meal!

I had a quick browse of all their FAQs and as far as I could see, the word 'carbohydrate' was not mentioned!
They claim to be a bit lower in fat and cholesterol than other eggs, but no mention of carbs at all.
Where did you get the 'zero carbs' info from? Did I miss an FAQ with this info?

But obviously from that chart they "think" ordinary eggs have 0 carb too We know tht is not the case. It just looks like they are rounding down.
