No matter what version of the egg diet you're on to lose weight, always start breakfast with several eggs, absolute minimum of two, along with grapefruit, a low carb veggie, or else another lean protein of some type. Most versions of the egg diet are an Atkins-type low carb diet, but with an emphasis on eggs for protein instead of meat.

For lunch you want another serving of eggs with some more lean protein and some low carb veggies. Fruit is okay in limited quantities, but you don't want too much.

Tips & Warnings
Protein is more filling, so don't skimp on the eggs! Go ahead and have 3-4 instead of 2 to keep the cravings away.
Drinking a lot of Crystal Light adds a great variety with water.
There is a version of the egg diet that only allows for hard boiled eggs and Crystal Light. This is a dangerous crash diet, and I strongly warn against taking this route!
