Fun Debate

It also depends on what your body needs, Flameviper. Some people need meat more than others, other people need veggies more than meats. If you cut what your body needs out of your diet, you are bound to be unhealthy.

Again, you get thye same nutrients in eggs that you do in meat.

And, again, eggs aren't as filling as meat. Also, having looked up some nutrition facts about eggs just now, I see they don't provide many calories. While some people may see this as good, calories = energy and, as is what I was getting at earlier, people with an active life style need more calories. Those calories can be found in meat and people who eat meat are equally as capable of eating eggs.

Furthermore, the average egg has about six grams of protein. Chicken alone, just the breast has 43 grams of protein. Venison has 34g, goose with 30g, rabbit has 27g of protein, and the lowest I can find in protein value amongst real meats is steak and kidney pie with a mere 10g of protein, still more than an egg. Amongst various fish there is 15 to 27 grams of protein, nuts are 2 to 25 grams of protein, looking at steak the lowest one is 26 grams of protein(I love steak) with the highest being 32 grams. Eggs in various recipes and of various types measure a lowly 2 to 17 grams, having an even lower range then nuts.

Eggs are a storehouse for many other nutrients including Vitamins A, B6, B12, D, and E, Calcium, and Iron, but it is not a worthy replacement for real meat.

My Advice: Eat eggs, they are good for you, but if they alone or combined with the rest of your diet do not supply what you need to survive, do not cut out the meats humans have been eating for centuries.

yay Mcdonalds :D, sorry, moment over

You forgot to compare the serving size and protein in contrast to saturated fat.

True, I haven't been awake enough to make such calculations. Very bad sleep deprivation today. But would saturated fat effect the protein intake?

No, its good and bad, it increases the male hormone testosterone but it is 1 of the leading cause of heart disease which is the leading cause of death in my country. (Another way to increase testosterone is to weight lift)

If it doesn't effect the protein then that's a good reason for not including it in my post. While it may be an important factor, I was mostly focusing on how much protein each food type held.

Eggs were measured by individual eggs, the list includes eggs of various sizes.

Fish were measured as individual fish, the list includes fish of various sizes.

Steaks, nuts, and the other meats were measured as 3.5oz each.

Yeah I know I checked out your sources.

I was posting the serving sizes since you pointed out I didn't and other people might not think to check themselves.
