How do you dispense salt? I know a lot of people who use tiny spoons and small bowls of salt when cooking, instead of shakers. Seems likely to make precision a lot easier, since after a couple tries you'll probably know how many spoonfulls.

The item is called a "salt pig" I think. Lots of cute ones on etsy, I'm sure plenty of them on amazon and whatnot.
(deleted a tweet with a link to the etsy search result when I realized it looked like I was selling it)

1. Salt shaker/grinder
or
2. Pinch salt and distribute with fingers
Also, I almost exclusively season as part of the cooking process (read: before plating)

maybe try erring on the side of undersalting and use something else (hot sauce is good) to flavor the eggs

also how do you normally cook your eggs
fried and scrambled eggs have very different flavor profiles

Let other seasonings drive more — zaatar, chilli, paprika, rosemary, herbes de Provence, black pepper

I just use salted butter to scramble my eggs and that's generally enough salt for me
Replying to
Add oregano and small amount of lemon pepper powder
Also you're probably not adding 'too much' salt, relatively superficial fear i think
