12ish if were talking simply fried eggs, if you consider all the baked goods and stuff it probably closer to 24
It depends. Eggs are part of cakes and pancakes, and a very quick to cook healthy thing to eat. Family of 4 now, we go through between 8 eggs on a light week and 32 eggs on a week I make a lot of egg stuff, or if someone is bulking, like today I made shakshuka for supper and a cake, that's eight eggs in one meal.
I think they are a commodity and historically a cheap source of animal protein, that's why they are talked about.
When I was younger about 14 eggs a week. Now about 9.
Where I am eggs have only gone up about $0.20 in the last few months. Still under $6 per dozen for cage free eggs. Maybe $3.50 for caged eggs?
Lots the chickens are liking the weather it seems.
And ironically the latest egg price rise in the states is because of h5n1 and the stock market taking bets because of that. As much fun as it is to blame trump it would be misinformation to claim its his fault.
It's not inflation, it's bird flu reducing supply.
It’s a combination of greedflation and bird flu. It’s amazing we still don’t have an RNA vaccine for livestock yet.
You're right that it's principally bird flu, but it'll still count towards inflation. CPI -- what people are typically referring to when they say "inflation" -- has a basket of goods which I strongly suspect includes eggs. If the price goes up, that's inflation.
goes to check
Yeah.

Meats, poultry, fish, and eggs
Though that whole category, which is not egg-exclusive, only makes up 1.737% of the weighting for the basket. So it's not as significant as, say, the cost of housing in calculating inflation.
Yes, it counts toward inflation. The price is not caused by inflation. At least not significantly.
Yeah, but mostly it's something to yell about on tv and 'news' radio to distract us from what's really going on.
With cooking and baking, 12+ per week. Which is about USD 5.60 for the XL bio eggs from the farm shop.
Luckily, I am not in the US.
A few a week, apparently 3 to 4 a week is optimum for health.
Eggs still only 3 something where I am. Don't eat em much but maybe a dozen each month or two.
I just don't really like the taste, so about 1 per week in my fried rice.
between eating and baking i use about a dozen a week. i generally get Extra large or Jumbo eggs.
If we count fast food breakfast sandwiches and meals at places maybe 6 or 7 a week. If not, zero, as I usually make regular ol sandwiches at home.
I forgot to count those - i do grab a breakfast burrito or sandwich for lunch about once a week.
i eat one to two eggs per day, so anywhere from seven to fourteen a week. it's about $1 per egg.
... hong kong $.
Somewhere between 4 to 8, depending on how productive we are in the morning.
Probably about 6 to 8. Poached eggs on toast drizzled with sriracha and baked beans with a dollop of chipotle paste is my go to lunch.
As many as I feel like.
