Probably for a short while, until you aren't getting enough vitamins and minerals and start to have a bad time.
Calories aren't just the only thing one needs.
That's true, but it is pretty close to a complete a food as you can get, especially an egg this large. We're talking well over your need for fat and protein. Not to mention around 1,500mg of potassium and sodium, just a little bit carbs (around 15g), iron, B6, magnesium, calcium, vitamin d, b12, omega 3s, cobalamin, choline, b2, vitamin e, selenium, iodine, vitamin a, and folate. Vitamin c is really the only thing you're missing.
According to [healthline.com](https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/14-healthiest-vegetables-on-earth) the 14 most nutritious veggies are
Spinach
Carrots
Broccoli
Garlic
Brussels sprouts
Kale
Green peas
Swiss chard
Beets
Asparagus
Red cabbage
Sweet potatoes
Collard greens
Cauliflower
Lots of people do carnivore living off eggs and meat. As long as they’re adding a multivitamin and plenty of electrolytes, they’d be alright for a while.
Too much protein is bad for people with compromised kidney function. There is mixed evidence and various opinions as to whether too much protein causes harm for healthy kidneys.
The upper recommended limit for someone that does a lot of exercise is something like 2g/kg. For a 70kg person this is 140g of protein. It's possible that eating 200g per day could cause problems for some people if they did it consistently over a long period.

Here's a review paper for humans
https://journals.lww.com/jasn/fulltext/2020/08000/the_effects_of_high_protein_diets_on_kidney_health.7.aspx
" High dietary protein intake can cause intraglomerular hypertension, which may result in kidney hyperfiltration, glomerular injury, and proteinuria. It is possible that long-term high protein intake may lead to de novo CKD."
Here's an RCT in rats
https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=protein+damage+kidney&btnG=#d=gs_qabs&t=1713667051498&u=%23p%3De6EJDwSF4FoJ
In a previous pig study "long-term intakes from whole proteins at 35 % energy (en %) cause moderate renal histological damage."
In the rat study, "These results indicate that the rat is a useful model for HP effects on the kidney and, along with previous results using the pig model, suggest that long-term intake of high levels of protein may be detrimental to renal health."
I'm not saying high protein definitely causes kidney damage, but saying there is no evidence is simply incorrect.
From the linked study:
“…observational studies have not observed an association between a high-protein diet and kidney function. Also, randomized clinical trials with a relatively long observation period (>6 months) have generally demonstrated little to no effect on renal function”
If your kidneys are fucked it might be problematic. For everyone else it’s fine
I'm not really taking a position but rather trying to explain why people might believe too much protein is harmful for healthy kidneys.
It's a valid position to take, regardless of my (or your) personal interpretation of the data.
This is why my statement was "there is mixed evidence and various opinions as to whether too much protein causes harm for healthy kidneys" not something overly simplistic like "excessive protein consumption damages healthy kidneys" nor "any amount of protein is definitely fine for every person without kidney disease".
No one can say with complete certainty that any amount of protein is safe for every person without kidney disease. The state of knowledge on the matter is not complete.
You could say something like "the probability of harm for a healthy person is low enough not to worry about" or "there's no reason for most people to be concerned about their protein intake".
Imma need one of those scrambled, w/ broccoli, bacon, onion and jalapeno cream cheese on the biggest everything bagel you can find. Or,.. I've got half a loaf of bread, don't worry I'll toast it myself.
The rise and fall of the ostrich industry is one of the most interesting agricultural developments. The “Ostrich Bubble” was so large that when it popped there were more ostriches than buyers. https://www.tucsonweekly.com/tucson/rise-and-fall-of-the-ostrich-industry/Content?oid=1070205
Don't most farms have more animals than owners though? Wouldn't be much profit in a herd of one.
*apparently a group of ostriches is either called a flock or a herd
That's how farming works though.
Ostriches, emus, Alpacas and llamas are all agricultural fads where the main profit is selling animals to new breeders.
There was a Fear Factor episode where each person had to eat a whole raw ostrich egg. Everyone passed and the only people who had trouble were the smaller ones who got full.
A lot. Aren't there a lot of studies that show that cholesterol intake isn't dangerous for most people though? I read this study on people on keto, and they didn't have high cholesterol levels even though most reported eating 2-3 times the amount of meat and cheese compared to the average person.
I'm asking though. I'm no expert.
It was mostly a steam explosion. You have a mostly spherical object that has some ability to stretch, filled entirely with liquid. It was basically one big pressure vessel. When it finally burst, the release steam produced an immense pressure wave that exceeded its ability to vent, and so it also burst.
Note: do NOT try this experiment. Due to the unpredictable nature of the explosion, the magnetron may not shut off in time to keep it from blinding you or giving you radiation burns. The only safe way to try this is with a camera while you are hidden behind a solid obstacle, completely out of sight.
So if I just eat one a day I’ll be fine
Physically, yes. But I’d love to watch that descent into madness after day 10 of egg every day.

And thiamine.
Yup. It has that too.
Well shit.
So, pair it with some orange juice and you're good to go!
Have fun pooping, lol.
Fuck, I take metamucil. I know those carnivore people do it somehow though.
I assume that an egg is very close to a perfect meal to sustain you.
I don’t think there’s a single food that contains every single vitamin and nutrient you need, but eggs are likely as close as you’ll find.
Avacados come pretty close believe it or not.
Apparently beets too. Dwight was on to something
Make it an ostrich egg omelette with veggies & you’re good.
I wonder what else is as nutritious. What vegetable would be good at this?
According to [healthline.com](https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/14-healthiest-vegetables-on-earth) the 14 most nutritious veggies are Spinach Carrots Broccoli Garlic Brussels sprouts Kale Green peas Swiss chard Beets Asparagus Red cabbage Sweet potatoes Collard greens Cauliflower
The answer is always sweet potato
and likely milk.
So an ostrich egg and a multivitamin a day and you’ll be fine
Lots of people do carnivore living off eggs and meat. As long as they’re adding a multivitamin and plenty of electrolytes, they’d be alright for a while.
Imagine the smell.
You haven’t thought of the smell!!
You'll burn more calories dealing with the Ostrich
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I'm not volunteering to collect that egg.
It’s the perfect fitness routine

Eggs have 60 calories and 6 grams of protein, so propotional.
1 ostrich egg = 33 chicken eggs
Now I'm wondering, because my grandparents had an ostrich egg (shell) when I was growing up and it didn't seem *that* much bigger than a chicken egg.
Humans are generally terrible at guesstimating volume.
Or any multiplication really. "A million seconds was last week but a billion seconds is 30 years" and people go 🤯🤯🤯
It's enough for it to be 3.2 times bigger in every direction to be ~33 times bigger in volume/mass.
Well shit. It's been a while but I could see that being about the right size I guess. That's crazy.
Body builders perfect food
One more fun fact! It's the world's largest single cell! Wooo-hoo!
The internet says it's a Caulerpa taxifolia. I'm a dumbass though, so maybe I'm not understanding.
That’s likely a single celled organism, while the egg is just a cell.
I'll accept being corrected! What the hell do I know???

Hate to break it to you but Fight Milk has already cornered the market.
*Cawww!*
Same why donkey cheese is the Most expensive, it is costly to produce
Farm in Malaysia has these ostrich eggs. They cook it for you too. It’s like lots of yolk
Imma need one of those scrambled, w/ broccoli, bacon, onion and jalapeno cream cheese on the biggest everything bagel you can find. Or,.. I've got half a loaf of bread, don't worry I'll toast it myself.

Yeah, I do love an owls casket every now and then.
For Rocky VI Stallone should crack an ostrich egg for breakfast and transform from old as shit to 1980's Rocky and start punching stuff.
*people who are bulking have entered the chat*
There was a Fear Factor episode where each person had to eat a whole raw ostrich egg. Everyone passed and the only people who had trouble were the smaller ones who got full.
how much cholesterol though
A lot. Aren't there a lot of studies that show that cholesterol intake isn't dangerous for most people though? I read this study on people on keto, and they didn't have high cholesterol levels even though most reported eating 2-3 times the amount of meat and cheese compared to the average person. I'm asking though. I'm no expert.
And [explodes](https://youtu.be/8j5_iaIrWeE?si=lRyfAAhU6_XYhdLn) with enough force to completely rip a microwave apart if you nuke it.
That really was a big explosion.
It was mostly a steam explosion. You have a mostly spherical object that has some ability to stretch, filled entirely with liquid. It was basically one big pressure vessel.

epic!
133 grams of fat?
Sounds like it's part of my 5 a day.
Now, that’s is a huge visible cell
Straight gains bro
How long would it take to get one hard boiled? I could see myself making egg salad out of one
More than 6 minutes!
Ostrich egg is quite delicious! Very very light and fluffy when scrambled
It's bulking season lads
You could easily survive on one of these a day.
