6 eggs and 5 bacon for breakfast? Is it good?

I'm guessing that you didn't buy those eggs at the local Super Walmart.

You may very well be right, but I buy my eggs at Walmart and I prefer the "Jumbo" instead of just the "Large" eggs and I do get a double yolk every once in awhile.

Local place here sells BIG breakfasts for less than I can afford to cook for, so many times I stop in there for breakfast. They sell 6 egg omelets (I get a ham and cheese), a side of home fries, and 2 pieces of toast. Generally when I have that for breakfast, I skip lunch because I'm not hungry and it holds me over until dinner time fine. When I grab a lighter breakfast at home like cereal or something, I'm always hungry by lunchtime and am seeking out a quick sandwich to grab...

Unless I'm lucky, and I mean like powerball jackpot type lucky, I've got more years behind me than ahead of me. I'm 6'2" tall and average 170 lbs (same as high school). I can still swim and run and play as hard as ever, but I devote most of my time and energies towards completing tasks these days. I agree with Sodo that your intake must equal your output. It isn't as much "what you eat" as much as "what you do" to balance out with what you eat.

Bought at DeLallo's Italian Store. A great place in Jeannette, Pa. Usually priced very reasonable.

My wife sends the boys out to "squeeze the chickens" daily. Eggs for breakfast, egg salad sandwiches for lunch, a few hard boiled eggs here and there. We have to open the windows every once in awhile to air the place out, but so far it's been working out just fine.

Very interesting. My story somewhat different. From about 1990 to 2011 I weighed in at 200 - 210 lbs . I'. 5ft 8in. In Aug of 2011 I got a liver transplant.
In and out of hospital in 9 days. Driving in 2 weeks. I thought, whats the big deal? wasn't so bad of medical procedure. Don't get me wrong,though. It is a big deal.
I was good till January 2012. That's when I got lung problems, build up of fluid problems and wound up on dialysis. In hospital all of 2012. weight went down
to 129 lbs. on a feeding tube. Not a pretty picture.

For some unknown reason my condition improved at end 2012. Cut loose from hospital Jan 2013 on oxygen and in wheel chair. In Feb, after one year of
dialysis, I was taken off the kidney machine and lost the feeding tube. Didn't feel like eating much, but forced it down. Until one morning I had eggs and bacon.
Strictly forbidden bacon by most doctors. (because high sodium) My liver surgeon told me once, "I don't care if you eat Snickers all day, you have to build up protein
and gain weight. Once I started with a hefty breakfast then things started to improve quickly. I am now 171 lbs this morning and holding there. My cholesterol is good, so I keep up with eggs especially. My Kidneys are working at 33% as of Saturday blood test. And I'm now going to gym at least 3 days a week.
But, I didn't do it all myself.

I have been blessed. Period..

Second an organ donor made my life last a little longer. one donor can save 8 people. A number worth thinking about.

Third my family who stood behind me for a long time and made my life easier.

Fourth my surgeons ,and more so, my nurses and all the other folks at Pittsburgh UPMC Montefiore 11 north, including a certain janitor who would tell me
his golfing stories. They all contributed to my health.

All this story to say, I think high protein eggs helped me get better and at least, in my case, eggs are good and healthy.

Sorry to beat your ears with such a long boring story. But think of this as I now know both sides. It's better to be reading of some old guy
telling his long boring story, than have your own personal sickness story to tell.

Great story. Keep getting better! I will say this, you sir had what I call a good breakfast, no matter how many yolks!! The bigger breakfast I eat, the more productive I am. Got to keep fuel in the tank to keep the motor running.

 

[Sodo]

Man, that's a story. I've said it before and I'll say it again, without your health, you've got nothin'! (thats in comparison of course). I can't imagine losing a year, much less all of it! Health is everything and for your loved ones too they go along for a ride. Good luck eating more breakfasts of any kind.

 

[flusher]

Today my wife served up bacon & eggs. Of my 3 usual all were double yolks. so like the what came first, chicken or egg? In this case
did I have 3 eggs or 6 eggs? I'm thinking it's the yellow things that count. What say you folks? The wife thinks it's just 3 eggs.

Cheers....Coffeeman

That's the size breakfast my grandfather ate. But he was an old time blacksmith in central Wisconsin who pounded iron on his anvil for a living. You burn a lot of calories working a job like that. Did that until he was 79. Passed away at age 83.

Delallo's?!

I love that store. I will be buying two Cannoli from them tomorrow to eat for lunch.

That is my big treat when I am in that area of the country.
