What's up guys?

I have been eating 10 egg whites, with oatmeal, bacon, and a banana in the morning.

For lunch I eat another 10 egg whites, with veggies, and sometimes 2 chicken breasts.

So 20 a day. Is that just too much?

25% morning
20% pre-workout
25% post-workout
30% spread out through rest of day

I eat no less than a dozen a day, only the white's mind you. The price for a dozen of eggs has increased to $1.72 a dozen @ my grocery store, Giant Eagle.. I expect it to go over $2.00 before this year is over.

well I think you need to split it up more. 1 egg white is about 6 grams of protein x 10 = 60 grams of protein. Considering egg whites are one of the most purest foods according to protein avalable with almost 100 % absorbtion rate that might be too much. I'm not saying that you would have ill effects its just a waste of money IMO. I would stick with about six per sitting. Also a lot of the other foods in your meal might have protein. Chicken breasts are not needed in the same meal.

Hey bro 1 egg white is about 3 to 3.5 grams of protein not 6. 6 is for the whole egg.

That depends on the size, i use large or extra large eggs.
