  • im sorry but this jus shocked the **** outa me! i've been eating two eggs everyday w/ my special k cereal breakfast to keep me full longer. but you know what? i never knew that one egg had 211 cals & 14.4g of fat! iam so dissapointed & i cannot believe that i was eating this everyday for the last past week. now im confused. why do some people say its good to eat eggs? should i exclude them from my diet? how dumb of me. im new to this calorie intake stuff. all i used to worry about was carbs before.

    **eggs.. to eat, or not to eat? THANKS!
  • Eat em. They keep you full and happy, I gave up counting calories and have so far lost 20 lbs.
  • What eggs are you eating?! Seriously, a regular large egg is only 70 cals.
  • Where did you get that calorie count? 1 large egg has about 75 calories and 5 grams of fat.
  • that's insane....its not that many calories. And they are good for you because of protein and healthy fats
  • Ditto. 70 calories for a large egg. I eat an egg along with 2 egg whites several times a week, and I think it's a great source of protein. Maybe you were looking at a calorie count for something like eggs fried in gobs of butter or egg salad with full fat mayo?
  • You scared me for a second... I was like what is she talking about eggs are only around 70 calories... so eat the eggs...and I eat scrambeled eggs with one whole egg and one egg white... cant do complete whites lol
  • Yeah really I don't know where you got that info but it's completely WRONG unless you are adding copious amounts of butter to your eggs!

    I eat two eggs a day on the weekends and it's like 180 calories according to my counter.
  • I agree with everyone else.. eggs are only like 70-75 for a large egg... if you cooked them in butter and topped it off with a ton of cheese then it would be that much... An important thing about calorie counting is getting all areas still in your diet and eggs are a good source of protein :-) Great job so far! Keep it up
  • Wow! What kind of eggs are you eating ? I just went to the refrigerator and looked at my egg carton. Large Egg=70 calories Please tell us what are you doing to those eggs ?
