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
