I love that you're better at Sunny's job than he is.

Better at the theory part, anyway. I'm sure he's quite competent at actually making food and whatnot, just not so much at talking about the finer nuances of recipes.

You can't buy premade french toast batter like you can with pancakes and waffles.

Not that premade batter/mixes should be brought up in any conversation about "#realfood". That you think they're relevant here says a lot about the pancakes/waffles you make.

Also french toast batter is 95% egg while the others aren't. Why he incorrectly thinks you use the same amounts of egg in all 3 is proof he isn't.

French toast itself, however, is ~15-20% batter at most, while the others are 100%. My usual pancake recipe calls for one egg to make 10-12 small pancakes (enough to comfortably feed two people). One egg will generally make ~3 pieces of french toast for me, which is a bit stingy for two people. My usual waffle recipe calls for 2 eggs to feed two people.

So... French toast uses a bit more egg per serving than pancakes (at least mine), but a bit less than waffles. I think they all use the same amounts of egg because that's a reasonable approximation of the number of eggs consumed when I make each product.

Most pancake and waffle batters are "just add water" recipes.

No, most pancake and waffle batters are basic muffin/wet-dry method recipes. You mix your dry ingredients and your wet ingredients separately, then mix them together to form a batter. Again, I don't know why you're bringing up pancake/waffle mixes in a discussion about real food, but you really shouldn't.

Those don't exist for french toast.

Every single french toast "recipe" is "just add egg." Couple splashes of milk and some seasonings to make it more interesting, but it's never a more complicated recipe than pancake/waffle mixes (which, again, have no place here).
