Just eggs? Like not even any fruit?

You would have to eat a lot of eggs, and if you have acne it would
most likely be too much protein.

I think (and assumed) she meant no fish, only eggs.

The important word in that sentence is "most". ;)

have you tried other fruits than the ones that contain 'most' B3 in the nutrient calculator?

I seems like if you don't try to get B3 you could easily not get enough.

The thing with B3 is that your body also produces vitamin B3, co-depening on how much is consumed. Your body can convert excess tryptophan into vitamin B3 (or serotonin). Tryptophan is one of the essential amino acids (protein).

Luckily our body is very good at adapting, unless the circumstances are too extreme.
When you eat loads of fruits, its very unlikely that your B3 metabolism gets out of wack. Only if you consume specific grains (low in both tryptophan and B3), there is a risk of B3 deficiency (possibly leading to pellagra).

Would miss Omega 3.

Yolks contain very small amount of Omega 3.

Unless you can buy omega 3 enriched yolks where you live.

They are not available in France, at least not where i live.

Actually, they dont contain that little. Fish contains much more indeed, but if you dont eat fish and say 150 grams of egg yolks daily, you will ingest 330 mg LNA, 90 mg DPA and 270 mg DHA. And of course, fruits contain LNA as well, so that when you eat enough fruits to fulfill your need for energy (say 2.5L orange juice, 5 bananas, 2 mango, 1 avocado, 5 tomatoes and 1 cucumber), you will ingest a total of about 98 gram fat, of which 1.36 grams are omega 3 fats (1.39%), which is within the recommendation of 1 to 1.5% minimally...

Just to make it clear though:

150g of yolks is about 14 egg yolks. Thats a lot of egg on a daily basis.

Getting the yolk from the egg is a bit messy business.
Now if somebody doesnt bother to break 14 eggs per day thats ok.

But i prefer to eat a bit fish or take a supliment.
