Eggs are completely non-satiating to me. I eat 20 eggs in one sitting and I feel hungry.

Well, not all of us can be Gaston. Most people cannot do that regularly without feeling full much sooner, and even you are better served eating those eggs than trying to feel full from massive quantities of starches.

20 eggs in one sitting? Surely this is exaggeration? I make a three egg omelette a few times a week, and it's quite filling. I could probably do six eggs without making myself sick, but not a dozen and definitely not 20.

  Like you, I have three egg omelettes a few times a week. The mental image of someone eating twenty eggs and still being hungry made me laugh out loud.

    Reminds me of a story from my wife's grandmother She was a doctor and had an obese patient who was struggling to lose weight, he complained that he had changed his diet to be very healthy but it still didn't help gm: "ok let's start with breakfast, what do you usually eat?" patient: "oh, just a plain omelette - I don't even use butter or oil!" gm: "ok that sounds good, tell me exactly how you prepare it" patient: "well, I crack 12 eggs into a pan..." Apparently they saw they were sold by the dozen and thought that was the suggested serving size

  > 20 eggs in one sitting? Surely this is exaggeration? No, this is not an exaggeration. For reference, I am 1.73m and 65kg. When I eat eggs, in whatever form, boiled, fried, etc, I can keep eating them until my stomach is physically full, which takes about 20 eggs, but even then I still feel hungry and non satiated. I've been trying to replace other things I eat with eggs, for the supposed health benefits, but I can't, eggs simply don't provide any satiation to me. And no, I don't eat massive quantities of other foods, it's mostly eggs I have this problem with. I can eat a single slice of home-made sourdough bread with a simple pate, and I feel much more satiated than after 20 eggs.

  I once saw this documentary where a guy ate 50 in an hour. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Hand_Luke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Hand_Luke
