I've been research into the times it takes to digest different protein and eggs in particular. It turns out eggs are very quickly digested - almost as quickly as fruit! Here is a table I got from
www.freetrainers.com
Animal proteins
Egg yolk - 30 min. digestion time
Whole egg - 45 min.
Fish - cod, scrod, flounder, sole seafood - 30 min. digestion time
Fish - salmon, salmon trout, herring, (more fatty fish) - 45 min. to 60 digestion time
Chicken - 11/2 to 2 hours digestion time (without skin)
Turkey - 2 to 2 1/4 hours digestion time (without skin)
Beef, lamb - 3 to 4 hours digestion time
Pork - 41/2 to 5 hours digestion time
This might be why eggs are regarded as a 'free food' on some plans and also explains why some plans tell you not to mix different types of protein in one meal.
I eat about three eggs a day - how about you?
