    Question About Egg Whites

    Hello all, I have a question about eggs. A friend of mine is allergic to egg yolks but NOT allergic to egg whites. Quite the opposite to what one would expect. She is protein deficient, as confirmed by multiple nitrogen tests and wants to "load-up" on protein. I know Ray is not a fan off egg...

    1.5L OJ, 1.5L goat milk, 100 gram beef, 1 egg yolk diet

    I'm thinking about how a Ray Peat diet covers the RDA guidelines. Of course, Ray Peat and people here may not agree with all those RDA guidelines, but I think that for 80% they are pretty accurate. I made this for myself, but I share it, because maybe other people find it interesting as well...

    How To Balance An Egg?

    Peat talks about balancing protein with sugar. Well, I wondered, what are you balancing? ounces? grams? Sugar is a carb, so I thought he meant carb grams to protein grams. (Anyone familiar with the Zone diet?) Anyway, being kinda OCD, and thinking I had it figured out, I went in Cronometer and...

    How many eggs?

    I've heard that 1-2eggs a week is good. However, I think I've seen this only applies if you can't get organic cage free eggs...So I guess my question is if I have access to organic cage free eggs, does Peat still recommend 1-2eggs a week? Thanks!

    Eggs - Allergies - Whites Or Yokes?

    Anyone have issues with eggs? If so is it whites or yolks you have issues with? I vaguely remember reading something that it's the whites that create allergies. I get runny nose/nasal drip from eggs. I will test it of course, but would be useful to know before.

    Trouble Eating Eggs

    I had taken a walk and was hungry. Before the walk, I'd eaten hard candies. When I got in, I ate an ounce of cheese and 2.5 egg yolks (scrambled with some milk in coconut oil). Salted. I used just the yolks because someone mentioned the whites might be problematic (since I get sick on eggs...

    Cooking eggs

    Hello everyone, I'm new to peat's diet and this forum has been very helpful. After reading Peat's article about cholesterol and the dangers of oxidized cholesterol I wondered about the importance of the cooking methods. I have found this article: http://www.kjm.keio.ac.jp/past/53/3/131.pdf...

    Easy Poached Eggs

    For many years, I ate two heavily salted poached eggs on whole wheat toast every morning with a couple of cups of coffee. This blatant disregard for the dangers of saturated fats and salt may have saved me from being too heavily composed of PUFAs. When I went low carb/paleo I finally had to...

    Possible egg substitute?

    Whenever I come across cake, 'breads' and other baked stuff they almost always contain quite some eggs. Why is that? So,I came across this recipe for coconutflour gingerbread and I really mis 'peperkoek' which is kinda similar to gingerbread over here,so I'd love to try this recipe but it also...

    American vs European Eggs

    Forbes has an interesting article about egg-processing regulations in the US vs Europe. I found two tidbits interesting for those making eggshell calcium with US eggs: 1) Detergent is used to clean them, which also washes off most of their protective "cuticle". 2) The eggs are sometimes sprayed...

    What Are Eggs Doing In A Peat Diet?

    I don't understand why eggs have any place at all in a Peat-inspired diet. They are not only a significant source of overall PUFA -- they are also the most highly-concentrated dietary source available of the most inflammatory PUFA in existence (arachidonic acid). Not to mention, they are rich...

    What type of Eggs?

    In places with not a huge amount of organic produce, what type of eggs would you buy? I don't usually eat eggs but thought I may incorporate them for their vitamin A benefits.
