Assuming your diet and nutrition is on point. Is there any real benefit to buying more expensive eggs? I eat 2 a day. 18 of these costs me $2. Some more expensive ones cost $10 for the same amount.

Just get your own chicks if you really care

>>77205558
I don't care. I'm just wondering if the nutritional benefit is negligible. I'm lazy and frugal, so I'd want it to be worth the effort and money to upgrade.
>>
>>77205560
It does but the only retard proof way is simply getting chicks and feeding them their actual proper diet (bugs)
Just focus on quality

>>77205560
i mean if you feel fine and the blood work and shit is okay why the fuck would you stress about feeling maybe a little better? just annoying minmaxxer society by fatfuck retards that dont know anything but take a million supplements and will shout at you how you are a retard for doing anything

Most things you're not going to notice the difference on the outside, but in the long run you might feel worse.
Non-Organics eggs are from chickens injected with an abundance of hormones and chemicals, and fed chemical slop.
Organic chickens are a lot better, and you can detect it in the flavor and the digestion, but you do you. Try it out and see if you can notice a difference. Costco you can buy in bulk for cheaper.

Yes big difference. Differencio mucho grande.

The organic free range eggs taste exponentially better than industrial farmed ones.

literally just pulling that out of your ass.

i care about getting organic/pasture-raised/grass-fed/blah blah blah for some things, and not for others. eggs are something i go cheap on. the price difference between cheap and expensive eggs is fucking ridiculous (like ~3x around me) and i don't think it's worth it

i will say, if you do decide to go expensive on your eggs, at least do it correctly and only buy the ones that say pasture-raised. those "organic cage-free" are still packed like sardines inside barns and fed corn sloppa

>Pastured-raised hens also produce healthier eggs, according to a 2003 study out of Pennsylvania State University. In it, researchers found that one pasture-raised egg contains twice as much omega-3 fat, three times more vitamin D, four times more vitamin E and seven times more beta-carotene than eggs from hens raised on traditional feed.

these eggs would be optimal? It's literally 6x the cost per egg from my cheap ones
>>
>>77205610

Looks like utter shit. Look at that packaging, waste of money. In the UK you get the best eggs dirt cheap from middle eastern shops, they raise them in their own gardens. Deep orange yolks. 30 for like £3. No fancy packaging or jewish tricks at all.
>>
>>77205610
yes. fwiw eggland's best makes organic pasture-raised eggs for like 40% cheaper than vital farms, still too expensive for my tastes but it's a way better value

>organic pasture-raised eggs
Thank you. Is it these? Otherwise they don't sell them near me
>>
>>77205613
thats awesome we dont have farms or chickens in the US
The UK must be so cool if they let you do that!
>>
>>77205619
nah, they have this blue cardboard cover over the carton like how vital eggs does. they sell them at kroger subsidiaries around me
>>
>>77205553
why are you only eating 2 eggs a day anon? I do 4 and I want to go double. I get free range eggs.
>>
>>77205620

Yeah we're fucked I know hahaha big funnies I'll eat the eggs you keep your guns okay good deal
>>
>>77205610
Those are the best at the grocery store probably. I used to get those, the tell you about each chickens pasture square footage, and have a cheeky chicken baseball card. Good eggs too.
The real best way while still being low effort is just buy them from Eric's wife at work because the have 15 chickens and let them run wild. 4 bucks a dozen vs a bit more for the vital farms I think.
Good eggs generally will have a darker yolk.

Im kinda curious and find these threads somewhat amusing and interesting because i live in an absolute shithole yet i dont think about this, eggs where i am are a very bright orange and smell almost like custard so this whole charade is kinda alien to me

>>77205629
american food is quite literally poison so we have to be careful what we eat

>>77205624
I eat it with 215g egg whites every morning. I just want 40g protein low calories every meal (5 meals total a day).

pasture raised eggs have a different nutrient profile than cage free. the fats in the pasture raised eggs are better, which has benefits for heart health and brain health. there are also more micronutrients in them, like the different vitamins.

I don't know about the protein quality between the two to make any claims there.

but yeah, if you want to health max then pasture raised is the way, the cost is negligible, yes it is 5x the cost of your poverty eggs, but its chump change. Its $5, split over 6 meals if you are eating 2 eggs a day.

Do you have literally any evidence to back this up that you can make such a general claim?
>>
>>77207302
Nta but are you the guy from the last egg thread who never accepts the evidence for pasture eggs generally having much higher omega 3s?
I'm not even the guy who presented the evidence, it was just interesting to see someone need so badly for it not to be true.
>>
>>77207431
So no then.
>>
>>77205553
Regular eggs have more Omega 6 (bad) in them than Omega 3 (good). Pasture raised eggs are the highest quality eggs you can get in a grocery store.
>>77205610
Vital farms is a publicly traded company and has one of the more expensive eggs out there. Try to get grocery store branded eggs, they will be $2-3 cheaper. I get the Whole Foods pasture raised eggs at $6/dozen
>>
I do ten large eggs for breakfast every day

If you go to Costco wholesale they have the 180 pack of eggs for like $50

That's like a two week supply
>>
>>77207461
So he was right then, haha

>>77205610
Vital farms was bought out by Blackrock and is now garbage. corn and onions feed

>>77207706
I got the first time. There's no evidence for your claim. No idea what you keep responding. You just look terrible.
>>
>>77205553
yes
micronutrient density and variety
putting a chicken in a cage, under artificial lighting and feeding it specific crops to maximize egg shitting will not yield best eggs

I buy the 5doz boxes from walmart. They're $8 now. Probably the best cost/protein ratio you can find. It just seems tedius to prepare sometimes.

I think the move is to just cook a bunch at one time, and have a 1/2 inch sheet of egg that you can cut into portions, and store for later. It's awesome to just have big pieces of cooked egg in the fridge to quickly eat.
