2 eggs? Is it not much? 

Looks delicious! @oliviacurtis two eggs is completely normal! 

Eggs everyday would be healthy. We need the healthy fats. Looks good! 

I've always wondered that myself because it's more than what the recommendation is. But most of the people I known have eaten eggs everyday for most of their lives and lived well into their 80s/90s so I don't really feel that the recommendation is very accurate. Historically speaking they never can decide where eggs fit healthy/not healthy it seems that scientists change their mind a lot about eggs nearly every 5 years, LOL. Personally I think the two eggs a day are just fine they have lots of protein, they're not bad on calories, they can be fixed in a variety of ways, and they're absolutely 😋, not to mention they're very cost-effective. Rock on, your eggs look delicious!  

Leah it is not so much that science “changes its mind” it’s that science progresses and discovers through new technologies and LEARNS. Read up on eggs and check out what they have learned in the last few years  

I understand Kenna, I every quite a few articles on eggs I understand that a lot of things have changed are actually our ideas on cholesterol itself. That eating dietary cholesterol doesn't necessitate an increase in blood cholesterol and that having low cholesterol isn't necessarily good for the body but rather having a medium amount of cholesterol is better than having high or low cholesterol it's all very confusing but I get the gist of course. Please 🙏 understand that sometimes it's my way of posting my dialect if you will that I at times I'm not editing my speech patterns in such a way that I'm literally talking through my sentences rather than re-editing them for exact sentax and proper semantics. I actually love reading scientific journals and scholarly articles and read quite a few nutritional updates on a variety of our food sources. I didn't mean literally that scientist or perhaps changing their minds although in some cases they are like the concept that butter for example is not as shouldn't b 

Be has been villainized as it once was. Sorry the post was so long that it cut off what I could see my apologies. Although the idea that you're supposed to have a median of cholesterol is completely new to me I always thought that I was supposed to have low cholesterol... There's so many things that I was taught in high school we're so foolish and so many things like health education and how it affects our body we're not really focused on. I like our talks 😀 

Yes experts disagree on cholesterol. However it is generally agreed that HDL is the good cholesterol that you want higher, and TRG -triglyserides is the bad cholesterol that you want lower. It's the LDL that is contested - and the number that is affected by statins, the multibillion dolllar drug that big Pharma wants to prescribe a lot of. Many doctors are pushing back on this class of drugs. Remember that our bodies make their own cholesterol and it is essential for cell structure, brain building and hormones. And that dietary cholesterol (like eggs and animal fat) do not spike your blood Triglycerides, that is spiked by high blood sugar from eating too many carbs. 

PS The breakfast looks great! 

I'm a weirdo anyways I'm one of the strange people that would have enjoyed learning science and other types of subjects throughout life. I would have enjoyed some sort of structured schooling throughout adulthood. I find it unfortunate that there's no option to continue education throughout life without massive amounts of expense or debt. I continue learning by watching documentaries, reading scholarly journals, borrowing books from the library. Although I do a lot of reading and I find this all enjoyable it would preferable learning from professors and other people who have had more scholarly pursuits so that the learning is more structured and has more first and secondary sources.
