Is it an 11 egg omelette too much?

[ShakyBake]

Would you say an 11 egg omelette, roughly 3 times per week, is a lot/too much for 1 person?

Just read that he goes to the gym.

absolutely none of your business then. Imagine if he threw your dinner in the bin because he didn’t agree with what you were eating. Absolutely controlling behaviour. And no context in initial post so you could win that argument.

I’m surprised he ever has a poo! Eggs are very binding! But I supposed being a man he never has that issue! 🤣

With the situation she described in her posts, I imagine.

All she said was that he eats 11 egg omelettes. I'd be fuming if a partner decided I shouldn't be eating something and then decided they could overrule me and throw it away.

It's different if she's the one cooking it, she can throw it in the bin then, but she doesn't get to control it if he's making them himself and if she's stressed about it that's her problem.

WTF … yes!!! 😮 Ridiculous

Literally my first thought!

Don’t tell him that - he might increase it to 12!!

Eggs are a highly nutritious food. They don’t cause constipation.

For an adult male who is building or maintaining muscle and looking for a good protein source with good nutrition they are great and calories wise this isn’t unreasonable for one meal.

I worked with a guy who was a body builder and he would eat 40 eggs a week!

Why did the idea of just one lone egg in a dozen box pee me off more than the actual issue at hand 😂

Outrageous if he’s eating it all himself im one sitting. Fine if he’s making a big tortilla to be cut up and portioned over a week.

So, this man eats 11 eggs and the OP was angry because she wanted to eat a takeaway with her drink?

He's into strength training and she's into........being angry at a man for needing protein for his training and....using MN as evidence while she eats junk food? And, he's the crazy glutton? The charlatan? The insane person?

What the..

Am I getting this right?

Never let bowels come into a row OP

Thank you , I've calmed down now and realised I flew off the handle (I didn't chuck omelette because I wanted a takeaway but because we argued over egg quantity). I recovered the pan as I chucked that out too so all back to normal and no real loss (just the 11 eggs)

Made me think of Cool Hand Luke 😂

Why is it outrageous? Eggs are a very good source of protein and healthy fats, as well as micronutrients, for relatively low calories.

Just because you wouldn't eat an 11 egg omelette, doesn't mean a male bodybuilder (probably weighing 100 kilos or so) is outrageous in doing so.

What's "outrageous" is @ShakyBake throwing out a perfectly good omelette.

Yep very ridiculous. 3 eggs is a normal size. 11 is gluttony and excessive cholesterol. I assume they are either a weight lifting gym obsessive and doing it for protein?

its certainly a recipe for a heart attack and furred up arteries.

OMG I have 2. Anymore is too much.

People are so dramatic in this thread . We have our own hens and lots of eggs my 4 year old eats 2 eggs a day , some days more and I often eat 3 , no constipation issues , no high colesterol , it’s just supper nice a yummy .
Furthermore the OP wanting to control what partner eats is NOT OK

What a ridiculous thing to do. Stop controlling what he eats

All of this in spades.

No, it’s not.

Thanks for updating, OP. Hope you’re ok.

Meanwhile the thread will no doubt carry on pointlessly with posters banging on about calories, portions and bin crimes.

How do people in this day and age not understand or know that cholesterol doesn't come from eggs?

For you.
What other meals do you eat if more than 2 eggs is too much?
