Scrambled eggs on toast - 1 slice or 2

Extremely riveting question.

I normally go for 1 slices on normal brown bread as 2 slices would be way too much. Normally have something on the side like a few slices of chorizo to fill me up.

Sister insists 2 slices is the norm. I'd be bloated for hours

What about you

Two slices of gluten free bread = no bloating here Grin

5 eggs between 2 and mushrooms on the side.

If for breakfast, and if I was planning on having lunch also I’d have one slice. If no lunch of having for lunch I’d have two.

karencantobe · 23/01/2020 12:11

Except 2 slices is not enough for you either, you have to fill up with chorizo. Its fine if you are not keen on toast, but it sounds like you are eating the same number of calories as someone who has 2 slices and eggs. So a normal amount of food.

Straycatstrut · 23/01/2020 12:18

1 thin, 1 egg, flora light butter. I am trying to be good though Grin

Ashtower · 23/01/2020 12:18

This was for breakfast (day off),

I wouldn't have just one slice, def would need some yoghurt, cheese, chorizo etc to feel full.

Bready meals aren't my favourite.

I don't care about calories as I'm a normal weight.

sounds like you are eating the same number of calories as someone who has 2 slices and eggs tell that to the people accusing me of competitive undereating.

depends on what ive been doing before I eat if I have been to work and starving 2 slices of toast and two eggs scrambled with butter, if im off work and have just got up from bed not starving one toast and two eggs scrambled with butter

Whichoneofyoudidthat · 23/01/2020 12:24

1 slice rye toast. 2 eggs, with tomato. More toast def too much for me.

CaptainMyCaptain · 23/01/2020 12:24

Not interested in arguing with anyone but I've just had to have two scrambled eggs on two slices of home made bread (smaller but slightly denser) for my lunch. Thanks for the suggestion.

Lana1234 · 23/01/2020 12:29

2 pieces of wholemeal and buttery scrambled egg 😍

onalongsabbatical · 23/01/2020 12:30

So you're subbing chorizo for the second slice? Bloody crack on!

Question - one slice plus egg plus chorizo or two slices plus egg?
Chorizo please!

TheOrigRightsofwomen · 23/01/2020 12:30

Depends how hungry you are, surely, but I would say a meal would be 2 slices and a snack would be 1 slice. Number of eggs would most likely depends on how many I had available!

1 hour after a very long run there is NOTHING better than than egg on toast.

OP, maybe you are eating too much bread or wheat if you feel bloated after a couple of slices of toast.

stopgap · 23/01/2020 12:31

I would do three eggs, chorizo, and add spinach, tomatoes and a side of avocado. No bread.

TheOrigRightsofwomen · 23/01/2020 12:32

Now I feel like avocado on toast.

cologne4711 · 23/01/2020 12:34

Surely whether you have one slice or two (or more) depends on the size of the bread. Hovis doesn't have standard, smaller loaves also have smaller slices.

I don't like scrambled egg but do like poached egg with un-eco-friendly avocado.

Thymelord · 23/01/2020 12:35

A quarter of a slice. Anymore than that is pure greed.

Nothing else for the rest of the day.

AgeLikeWine · 23/01/2020 12:37

Poached eggs for me, please. Two eggs, two toast. Lots of butter & pepper.

Highonpotandused · 23/01/2020 12:38

I find that one egg makes rubbery scrambled egg so tend to use 2 eggs and have 1 slice of toast.

I will have something after like a scone.

GatoFofo · 23/01/2020 12:40

2 large eggs on 1 slice of bread.
Lots of salted butter and black pepper in the scrambled egg. Guess what I’m having for lunch?

KittenVsBox · 23/01/2020 12:42

One slice with the eggs, and one slice thick with butter on the side for me.
2 slices for the 10 year old, so he can make a sandwich.

adaline · 23/01/2020 12:43

Two eggs, two slices of bread here.

DH would probably have an extra one of each.

DesLynamsMoustache · 23/01/2020 12:43

2! My 11mo DD has one slice!

Three eggs, two slices of toast here!

riotlady · 23/01/2020 12:51

Two eggs, one toast for breakfast; three eggs, two toast for lunch here.

I’ve never thought to have chorizo with my scrambled eggs but that sounds lush, quite fancy it now!

IntermittentParps · 23/01/2020 12:58

I do think if you'd be 'bloated for hours' after a couple of eggs and two slices of Hovis (not the most dense kind of bread), you might have issues other than just a small stomach. At 5 foot 4 you're not that small.

NYCDreaming · 23/01/2020 12:59

Two slices of Hovis Seed Sensations bread. Sub the eggs for Vegan Egg, which is a sort of chickpea flour paste Grin and add plenty of pepper (no salt, Vegan Egg is salty enough). Favourite yellow mug of tea with Oatly Semi milk. This is the only correct way of eating it.

userxx · 23/01/2020 13:02

I have "small" bread so two slices for me and two eggs.
