How many diced eggs could you fit in a cup? Im guessing 4-5? You are going to find trace amounts of carbs in meat as well, similar to the ratios in eggs. frogfarm on "Do you eat eggs and butter on a zero-carb diet?" http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/do-you-eat-eggs-and-butter-on-a-zero-carb-diet#post-37954 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:49:06 +0000 frogfarm 37954@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ I've cut eggs down from a staple to strictly side dish -- have them a couple times a week tops. I try to stick to local farm ones, and the duck ones are much more filling and satisfying, they just taste much richer and fattier. I had childhood asthma, and when I drank milk or ate ice cream it would make me wheeze. Supposedly I grew out of that sensitivity, but given what I've read about casein I'll keep butter in the 'occasional small amounts' category. Right now I use hardly any, so I ought to buy the Kerrygold more often! And I need the patience to make ghee more often...but I'd rather spend my rendering time with pure animal fats :) Diana Renata on "Do you eat eggs and butter on a zero-carb diet?" http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/do-you-eat-eggs-and-butter-on-a-zero-carb-diet#post-37769 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:00:21 +0000 Diana Renata 37769@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ 80-90% of the time I am. Most days consist of little more than eggs and meat- probably 4 or 5 days out of the week. Today I'm having some figs and apple cider.

That's why I asked.

Lately my diet has consisted mainly of eggs, meat, and occasionally a veggie or nuts. primalpanda on "Do you eat eggs and butter on a zero-carb diet?" http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/do-you-eat-eggs-and-butter-on-a-zero-carb-diet#post-37761 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:21:54 +0000 primalpanda 37761@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ Eggs are a perfect, highly nutritious food. I'm no expert but I don't recall ever seeing anyone on this board recommend against them because of the trace amount of carbs. Mark definitely considers them a vital part of the PB way of eating. bonesheal on "Do you eat eggs and butter on a zero-carb diet?" http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/do-you-eat-eggs-and-butter-on-a-zero-carb-diet#post-37754 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 16:47:25 +0000 bonesheal 37754@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ Best I can tell, it depends on you. I love eggs and don't want to give them up. Same with butter. I already weigh what I want to , so I eat all I want; if I wanted to lose weight I would be more strict.

I have never had a problem with dairy before though. Butter has much less carbs than eggs, so it should be fine, right? (I checked - eggs have 2 grams of sugar per cup.) bonesheal on "Do you eat eggs and butter on a zero-carb diet?" http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/do-you-eat-eggs-and-butter-on-a-zero-carb-diet#post-37743 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:35:15 +0000 bonesheal 37743@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ Even meat has trace amounts. Eggs are less than half a gram apiece. Butter, I'm not sure about, but dairy can complicate the diet--you might want to try without butter and then add it in and see what happens. All of my health issues (I took them for normal parts of aging) have disappeared, except for a slightly runny nose. I'm going to see if giving up dairy (mostly heavy cream in my coffee, but some butter) will fix that.

I might do a zero-carb experiment so I wanted to know. Thanks.
