Like you, I have three egg omelettes a few times a week. The mental image of someone eating twenty eggs and still being hungry made me laugh out loud.

Reminds me of a story from my wife's grandmother
She was a doctor and had an obese patient who was struggling to lose weight, he complained that he had changed his diet to be very healthy but it still didn't help
gm: "ok let's start with breakfast, what do you usually eat?"
patient: "oh, just a plain omelette - I don't even use butter or oil!"
gm: "ok that sounds good, tell me exactly how you prepare it"
patient: "well, I crack 12 eggs into a pan..."
Apparently they saw they were sold by the dozen and thought that was the suggested serving size
