When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs every morning to help me get large. And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs, so I'm roughly the size of a barge.

I see you’ve got biceps to spare.
So about 336 and 420 a week, respectively
None, I've never particularly liked them. I know some people love them, but to me they don't smell great, kinda sulfurous farts and they have an odd smushy consistency when cooked.
Eggs themselves, not many if at all. The issue is when it comes to baking, while not often, can consume through a whole dozen or more in a single week, specially in the winter. Wanting to find alternatives, I hear applesauce is good.
I feel like it all depends on what you're cooking and what the egg is meant to do. For brownies/cake applesauce is pretty good, when I make desert breads I use a flax egg. If whole point of the egg is to help hold things together (which it usually is) and i know my fake egg isn't gonna cut it I'll throw in a dash of corn starch along with whatever egg substitute I'm using.
zero, vegan
Around 12.
Eggs are incredible nutrition value and I'd still pay 12$ for 12 eggs. In fact I do splurge on local market eggs that come from free range chickens and here they are around 5$ for 12 which is double the factory price but still and an incredible steal.
That's why the great American egg whine of 2024 is so confusing. Min wage in the US is still like 24++ eggs an hour which is an insane thing to complain about. Y'all need financial literacy not cheaper eggs.

- Eggs are not worth what they charge.
My problem is we have three teenagers of our own plus an extra one who lives with us 60% of the time. Two of them are vegetarian but eat eggs for protein. The rest of us just like eggs. We go through about 3-4 dozen a week.

I make a bunch of deviled eggs maybe once or twice a year. I don't care for most other types of "easy" egg preparations and there are plenty of cheap beans, chicken, and cheap bits of pork for my protein needs.
Tbh I don't understand why people don't just buy something else. There are several good alternatives available.
Other things aren’t “breakfast”. While I understand that it’s only tradition that makes foods be for a specific meal, it’s hard to get around. Chicken is not a breakfast food.
So where do you get protein in foods that identify as breakfast? Cereals and grains are mostly carb or fiber, not good sources of protein. Sausages and bacons are not lean and are not healthy foods. then there are eggs, and there are many ways to prepare eggs
Sure, butterfly a chicken breast and fry it over high heat. Or eat cheese. Or make succotash, or lentil soup.
All of our cultural defaults for breakfast are terrible for us anyways, we need to eat other things regardless.
between eating and baking i use about a dozen a week. i generally get Extra large or Jumbo eggs.
5-6, and eggs aren’t expensive yet. I guess wherever we get eggs from don’t have avian flu yet …. Although it’s here in the wild
I have a bowl of cereal (yogurt and fruit) during the week, but usually make something with eggs on the weekend.
Prob 4-5. I mix up breakfasts with oatmeal or cereal.
12ish if were talking simply fried eggs, if you consider all the baked goods and stuff it probably closer to 24
I guess around 8-12, sometimes more, rarely less.
