Ask Lemmy

About 12 every 2 days on my keto diet. I buy 18packs for like $5

Cause eggs are in fucking everything.

8-12. They ~~are~~ were inexpensive, versatile protein.

I haven't eaten eggs in a decade, they're surprisingly easy to avoid.

Six; 42 a week! Easy way to hit my protein goals everyday and maintain those gains :D

8 per day so 56 per week; please keep them cheap

Almost none. Allergies.

Whatever gets put in pad Thai once a week.

Because eggs are seen as a very reasonable weekly purchase that a consumer can see a price delta in over a short period of time.

I just don't really like the taste, so about 1 per week in my fried rice.

Somewhere between 4 to 8, depending on how productive we are in the morning.

I eat 3 eggs every morning. 21 a week.

Eggs are too expensive.

As many as possible. It's one of the perks of my new job, free eggs.

Zero after I went vegan 3 years ago.

And honestly, when you know your way around a little and stick mostly to whole foods, it gets dirt cheap if you try. 💚

Don’t forget that most baked goods and other foods rely heavily on the eggs in their recipes. Most food sectors are affected.

Probably about 6 to 8. Poached eggs on toast drizzled with sriracha and baked beans with a dollop of chipotle paste is my go to lunch.

Family of four. We probably go through 10 to-12 eggs a day much of the time. Scrambled eggs, French toast, homemade bread, cookies, pancakes, frittatas, huevos rancheros tacos... It adds up. I recently started buying the 18-egg packs because it's more cost-effective.

As many as I feel like.

42 a week, or 6 a day.

However, 30 eggs is only $3 where I live.

It's not inflation, it's bird flu reducing supply.

According to this, as of 2019 -- which is a couple years back, though probably good if you want a pre-avian-flu number -- Americans had a per-capita rate of 279 eggs consumed a year, up 16 percent over the twenty years prior.

EDIT: according to this, numbers are about the same in 2023, dipped a little bit over the past couple years, but looks like there's a pretty low price elasticity of demand.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/183678/per-capita-consumption-of-eggs-in-the-us-since-2000/

In 2023, consumption of eggs in the United States was estimated at 281.3 per person. This figure was projected to reach 284.4 eggs per capita by 2024.

EDIT2: On a non-statistical note, eggs are goddamn delicious.

Normally around 6. Ill make scrambled eggs with 3 eggs for breakfast twice a week
