Is there anything particularly wrong with eating a dozen eggs a day?

I have hit very poorfag status and a dozen eggs is only $1.27

Was doing ramen before that but the taste has started to wear on me.

[Anonymous No.8179190]

Nah, not if you're doing it for a relatively short time span.
Eggs are an EGGcellent source of protein and all sorts of good nutrients.
If you can afford it, switch things up weekly by:
>buying a loaf of bread, some creamy mustard, some cheap greens and making egg sandwiches
>buying rice, scallions, and stealing some soy sauce packets from a food court or use hot sauce and making Tamago Kake Gohan

Can somebody please explain that Ramen meme to me?
Why do people think that shit is cheap? When you're hungry, like actually hungry, you'll need at least two packs to make you feel full. Depending on which brand you buy, you'll have to pay ~1$, for which you can buy at least 500g, maybe 1kg at a discounter, of pasta. Cook that, if wanted put in a frying pan with 2-3 eggs and you have food for ~1 and a half meal, maybe 2 if you can get more than 500g.
And you know what, contrary to those cheapo ramen, the ingredients aren't complete shit.

It's also only 750 calories and you have to pay for elec and spices to cook and flavor it.

A gallon of milk has 2400 calories including 128 grams of protein and also has lots of vitamins and minerals.

Peanut butter has 3000 calories/16 oz including 130 grams protein and lots of vitamins and minerals you need.

There are other things like this as well.

>Is there anything particularly wrong with eating a dozen eggs a day?
Eggs are high in fat, saturated fat and cholesterol and low in fiber, carbohydrates and relevant micronutrients. Eggs are non-nutritious.

>I have hit very poorfag status and a dozen eggs is only $1.27
Eggs are expensive per calorie and most of the calories come from fat. Eggs are a poor investment.

>Was doing ramen before that but the taste has started to wear on me.
Ramen is also expensive per calorie.

You should eat rice, pasta, potatoes, beans, lentils and corn if you want to save money and be in good health.

in my eastern europoor country the cheapest you can get is like 25 cents per pack, but that tastes like plastic, the only decent ones are some thai ramen that now cost 62 eurocents, a few year pack it was 45, also the selection is really poor, I guess it's not that popular here so it isn't imported that much. You can only get the japanese/korean stuff from specialty shops and there it costs euro and upwards depending on the brand

I don't know why, but it's not as cheap as in america here in Germany. Maybe we have a food standard that interferes with their usual recipe, so they have to change something, which makes the product more expensive?

Can't you just do that with stock cubes as well? Just put boiling water over one and add some rice noodles (they don't need to cook at all, so perfect for low effort stuff) and you have more or less the same base, but (depending on what you get ofc.) with actual chicken/beef in the soup.

For some reason food costs way less in the US than it does in Europe.
I suppose it's because of lower fuel cost (implying lower production and transport cost), lower taxe rates, more waste (meaning more food bought per person) and probably some other factors.

[Anonymous No.8181918]

If you're poor:
- learn to make cheap bread and freeze extra
- eggs
- drink 100 oz of water per day
- oatmeal + raisins for 1 meal per day
- cold pasta w/ italian dressing can be a meal
- onions, carrots, rice, and scrambled egg for a meal

Nah, too much back and forth faggotry about ill health and good health. I think they're good for you even in large doses. The biggest argument against the healthiness is the amount of cholesterol consumed. It's been proven that eating cholesterol does not adversely affect bad cholesterol and does not promote heart disease.

12 is a little much for an extended period of time, but I doubt it would do you ill more than eating say ramen packets
