Nog VS meer?

So I just learned recently that nog can be and is the correct way of saying more in Dutch as in. Ik wil nog 3 eieren. I always thought meer was the word for more. So when then would you use meer instead of nog?

Nog is more like ‘still’…

‘ben je er nog’ — are you still there
‘Ik wil nog 3 eieren’ — I still want three (additional) eggs

Still is meer nogsteeds ipv nog
