Eggs only contain 0.6 grams carbs per large egg, so you are right, they are pretty low carb, although obviously the more you eat the more the carbs add up. Whether eggs should be limited for health is controversial. Many people would only eat 2 or at most 3 a day. Others don't limit them at all. Some find too many eggs leads to constipation. Unlike some of my fellow Forumites, I don't think your wife should jump straight away into a very low carb/high fat diet. This may not be necessary, and being a vegetarian will make it more complicated. (The only truly carb-free foods are fish, flesh, fowl and fats!) However, here is a link to a site advocating a keto/very low carb diet, not because I am recommending that for her at present, but because it shows in visual form the lowest and highest carb foods.Thanks for this. 5 eggs in a day are too much? I thought eggs were great as they are low in carbs but Happy to Be corrected?
