According to this, as of 2019 -- which is a couple years back, though probably good if you want a pre-avian-flu number -- Americans had a per-capita rate of 279 eggs consumed a year, up 16 percent over the twenty years prior.

EDIT: according to this, numbers are about the same in 2023, dipped a little bit over the past couple years, but looks like there's a pretty low price elasticity of demand.

In 2023, consumption of eggs in the United States was estimated at 281.3 per person. This figure was projected to reach 284.4 eggs per capita by 2024.

EDIT2: On a non-statistical note, eggs are goddamn delicious.

I guess around 8-12, sometimes more, rarely less.

Normally around 6. Ill make scrambled eggs with 3 eggs for breakfast twice a week

Eggs still only 3 something where I am. Don't eat em much but maybe a dozen each month or two.

i eat one to two eggs per day, so anywhere from seven to fourteen a week. it's about $1 per egg.

... hong kong $.

If we count fast food breakfast sandwiches and meals at places maybe 6 or 7 a week. If not, zero, as I usually make regular ol sandwiches at home.

Zero. I used to have a fried egg for lunch every day but many years ago something switched in my brain and now the flavor of them really puts me off.

With cooking and baking, 12+ per week. Which is about USD 5.60 for the XL bio eggs from the farm shop.

Luckily, I am not in the US.

I mostly use them for baking. I will probably just switch to substitutes going forward. I can live without eggs.

Corporate farming better get its shit together or consumers are going to learn to live without.

Eggs are not that expensive in Sweden, but in all honesty I don't really eat that many eggs in a week. Maybe if we use it as an ingredient, or maybe I'm having a boiled egg as a healthy snack, but I think most weeks it would be 0.

Most weeks maybe just un oeuf. I think since I stopped eating breakfast and found out my body hates gluten (so heavily reducing baked goods, my other main use of eggs), my egg consumption went way down. The one weekly is generally from going to get sushi and there being some tamagoyaki in there. I guess the odd exception is throwing one (boiled or raw) into soup and the rare occasion that I knock out a fried rice.

Edit: I think 10 local eggs are around 500 yen, at least the last time I checked. More expensive than non-local, and the price has definitely gone up generally in the last few years.

Probably like 2 dozen a week. I like eggs lol.

I have like four every six months.

I can eat up to a dozen boiled eggs a day if I'm particularly craving them. They're my fave source of protein!

It depends. Eggs are part of cakes and pancakes, and a very quick to cook healthy thing to eat. Family of 4 now, we go through between 8 eggs on a light week and 32 eggs on a week I make a lot of egg stuff, or if someone is bulking, like today I made shakshuka for supper and a cake, that's eight eggs in one meal.

I think they are a commodity and historically a cheap source of animal protein, that's why they are talked about.

about 3 fiddy

Depends where I am with training, but up to 70 a week.

~30

Lots the chickens are liking the weather it seems.

And ironically the latest egg price rise in the states is because of h5n1 and the stock market taking bets because of that. As much fun as it is to blame trump it would be misinformation to claim its his fault.
