My preferred breakfast is 3 eggs, scrambled with mushrooms and spinach with a light sprinkling of low-fat mozzarella cheese. I am on blue, I count it as 2pts. Could 3 eggs vs 2 eggs Prohibit weight loss? 3 just seems so much more filling.  

Answer 1

I think it depends on the rest of your day. If you eat 3 eggs for breakfast and it keeps you full until lunch then I say keep it up. It's better to eat 3 eggs than to end up eating 300 calories in snacks.  

Comments

@impunity keep in mind one egg is 71 calories, maybe two eggs and an extra egg white?  

Answer 2

I know we don't count calories but everything has them and an egg has 78. A banana has 100! If you find you're not loosing it may be the eggg or it may be too maybe snack foods! Thats my problem

Answer 3

Are you asking because you have eaten 3 and haven't lost? Or are you pondering? It seems it should not affect weightloss if it keeps you full.  

Comments

@freetown42075 pondering mainly. The pile of eggs and stuff looks huge by the time it’s ready to eat

---

@jalapa54 I would try it if you are hungry enough to eat all of it. If that is your only free points that you are afraid your are over eating that is a good choice! Eggs are good for you (fresh farm eggs even better)

Answer 4

Try just adding the eg white of the 3rd egg!?  

Answer 5

I eat a huge egg white omelette with spinach and reduced fat cheese at least 3-4 days week and I’ve been losing consistently

Answer 6

Thanks everyone for answers!  

Answer 7

Try to eggs and add 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese 1%

Comments

@teraterai what does the cottage cheese do to the taste?  

---

@jalapa54 Makes it fluffy and delicious

Answer 8

3 eggs seems like a large breakfast to me but I don't know what you have for lunch or how long between meals. Why not try 2 eggs for a week or two and see what happens to the scale?

@wealthy76579 Matney maybe I should. Trying to be good all the way around. Been bad lately. Covid stress has taken its toll

---

@jalapa54 so true! These are challenging and uncharted times and we're all struggling to get through them with as much mental and physical health as we can. Best wishes!  

---

@wealthy76579 Matney I count calories as well as points three eggs is 300 cal that’s a lot

---

@teraterai for me, that would be. But I tend to be hungrier in the late afternoon and save more points (and food) for then. Bur the old saying is "Eat breakfast like a King, lunch like a Princess, and supper like a Pauper" or something like that

---

@wealthy76579 Matney I tend to want to eat like a king all the time

---

@teraterai not a lot for breakfast at all

---

Ive never seen an egg that is 100 calories, they're about 78*

Answer 9

Free pouring my coffee creamer definitely got me. I guess its possible. Are you getting plenty of water?  

Answer 10

Yes m’am I am.  

Answer 11

I use three eggs and lose

Answer 12

I eat 3 or 4 eggs and lose. Go with 3 and if you stall with weight loss change to 2.  

Answer 13

I have 3 eggs with onions and peppers and low fat cheese. on the green plan its 7 points and I've been steady losing as well. I have a big breakfast and a light lunch and dinner.  

Answer 14

I would do 2 full eggs and 1 egg white or 1 full egg and 2 egg whites if you're concerned bc that's fewer calories

Answer 15

To much?  

Answer 16

I eat 3 hard boiled eggs for breakfast every morning…works for me! ‍♀️

Answer 17

I had that same question for myself. When I first started WW I would have two eggs and an extra egg white . Then I worried abt wasting the yolk and gave it to the pooch. However if you feel like it's too much it can play with your mind. If it keeps u from delving into bad choices it's a good thing in my lowly opinion  

Comments

@southdown3287. So true! Mind is powerful

Answer 18

Can you increase your veggies or add egg beaters and go down to 2 eggs?  

Answer 19

Sometimes I get fearful when I ask myself to eat less. Crazy, right? Try things. Be fearless. Changes are necessary for success. Ex. I used to set my table w a 9" dinner plate. After a time I changed to a 6" dinner plate. Now I use a salad plate w a little turned up edge. In my wildness dreams did I think my small plate would be just fine. I was definitely scared to even think smaller. Just try what you are thinking & know you can always adjust to your needs.

@judaica9474 Great example and smart.  

---

Thank you, Mary. It took me years to get to that point. But there were also many other changes along the way. All scary. Lol

Answer 20

3 eggs is fine ! They are each 60 / 70 calories so that's only 200 calories. When you add healthy veggies etc It's still only a total meal of 300ish calories. Follow the program . it works

Comments

@optics. I have been realizing that the number of calories I intake is not what I am learning. It is about what amount is right for the energy I use each day. My intake might be well below what yours is because of age, energy level used through the day. WW does not say a certain amt. Is required. I have trouble figuring that out sometimes.  

Answer 21

3 eggs daily is a tad too much. Try one egg daily or every other day.  

Comments

@nipping Corcoran what do you eat for breakfast?  

---

@nipping Corcoran. Protein is is ideal nutrition and eggs are a complete protein. Since 3 are only 200ish calories . what are you saying ?  

---

@nipping Corcoran I agree

---

A Chobani Greek fat free yogurt and an orange or one boiled egg and an orange
