I ate four for lunch today - two hardboiled with salt and pepper, two fried over buttered rice and veggies.

Would it be okay if I ate four more tonight?

Why not just make some mayo? It's super easy to make and contrary to popular belief lasts a long time.

I've never made mayo before. Sounds prospective, though... I :heart: mayo. Please advise, thank you. :)

You can eat a lot of eggs in a day...heck some bodybuilders eat at least 18 egg whites a day. I wouldn't eat all the yolks though or you'll have nasty got rot and I'm sure all the cholesterol can't be great for you. Eat the whites or toss the eggs out. They are like $3 for 36eggs at Safeway so it's not like you are throwing away a ton of money.....quit being such a tight ass ;)

Except for rice, apparently you can eat as much rice as you want without it doing you any harm.

Yeah it was for an eating contest. (I lost by 6). The hard part was balancing between the eggs and water.

How did I feel? Full.

You had to hold it down or you get disqualified.

Whew. Did you have to drink water, or did that help keep them down? I would think drinking water would fill up your stomach faster. That's quite an accomplishment (and a heckuva lotta eggs O_O )...

The water was just to wash down your throat, the yolks dry the hell outta you. (hard boiled)

I placed 3rd both of the guys that beat me were +200lbs. At that time I weighted 135lbs. I felt proud. And got to walk away with 150 bucks.
