A huge website, more there than you'd ever want to know about eggs.
Tons and tons of recipes, including a low-carb section,
http://www.aeb.org/Recipes/LowCarb.htm .

They even address the question of "which came first". They did a damn
poor job of answering the question, unfortunately. We all know, of
course, that the Chicken came first! (It says so right in the Bible.)

On that same page they say that Grade A eggs are better for hard
boiling than AA because they have larger "air cells" (the air in the
egg). AA's are better for frying and poaching. Apparently, the size
of the air cell is a part of the grading criteria. Interesting! I
don't know that I've ever seen anything other than AA eggs in the
store, but I'll take a look-see.

Thanks Mike. Saved! I base my proteins on eggs🙂

The best eggs are the ones with the lowest price.

Eggs are a wonderful food. I figure it is hard enough to screw it up, that
all I need is basic cheap cheap eggs.

The egg came first. Genetically, an egg and the adult it grows up to
be are the same, but an adult and the egg it lays need not be. Thus,
if one can define a point genetically where one generation was
"not-chicken" and the next was "chicken", the egg from that next
generation was thus the first chicken egg (and the previous egg was
not a chicken egg), and came before the adult it grew up to be.

Your argument rests on word semantics, namely that ``X egg'' means
``an egg from which a member of species X hatches''. If we instead
define ``X egg'' as being ``egg laid by a member of species X'', then
the chicken egg didn't come first, since the egg from which the first
chicken hatched was laid by a non-chicken, and therefore (by
definition) wasn't a chicken egg.

In case you meant this seriously, it is incorrect. Higher prices often
mean that the hens have had better conditions. That translates to eggs
of higher quality.

Advice that works okay for chicken eggs, not so well for caviar. ;^)

Which addresses the chicken/egg problem handily - There were
eggs in the world a long time before the first chicken evolved. Not
that any of these eggs were chicken eggs, but at some point there
was an egg that hatched into something someone might recognize
as a chicken but that was a mutant in that generation.

Humph. I wouldn't touch that one with a ten inch pole.
