welll....
The amount of eggs will depend on yourneeds for protein.

No one is going to just write out a detailed menu for you - you have to figure out your caloric needs, your desired ratios of protein, carbohydrates and fat and then do a little work figuring out how many eggs equal the amount of protein you need for breakfast.

As far as a general plan - 5-6 meals, lean protein, complex carbs and a little good fat

Oatmeal, scrambled egg & egg whites
berries

protein shake or some cottage cheese, veggies or apple, maybe whole grain crackers

salad, chicken, brown rice or small baked yam or potato

protein shake or lowfat cheese, veggies

salad, extra lean beef or chicken or fish, veggies, brown rice or small baked potato/sweet potato

cottage cheese or scrambled eggs if you want an evening snack
