There are definitely worse things you could be eating. This is the first year we'll be coloring eggs (my daughter is almost 3), and I plan on putting them in the fridge and eating them for snacks during that week.0

Make egg salad.0

There's no need to eat them. Serve rabbit stew on Easter and tell the kids the bunny died.4

But hard boiled eggs are perfectly diet friendly and make for a convenient snack, IMO.
I think the idea is like leaving cookies out for Santa. Santa has to eat the cookies. EB has to eat the eggs.
For sure, but... the kids aren't going to recognize them when they're chopped up in egg salad.
Peel the eggs and cut them up for egg salad or slice to put on regular salads. Leave a few yolk crumbs on the plate. Move on with your life.0 -
Hard boiled eggs are yummy! I'm looking forward to the pretty eggs I get to eat all week!! My family of 6 goes through about 5 dozen every two weeks....0

There was another Easter thread that actually turned out quite funny!
I will be having chocolate on Easter. I will also be having pierogies and kielbasa with cold sliced eggs, two things my grandparents always had for us on Easter.
It will all fit into my calorie goals.
If you want the chocolate, just fit it into your goals, IMO (unless you have dietary restrictions, obviously).1 -

1. Start a new tradition. I've personally never heard of leaving anything for the Easter Bunny but if you must have them leave something then maybe switch it to carrots. Carrots make more sense anyway.
2. Exactly how many hard boiled eggs are you having your kids leave? Maybe tell them one egg from the whole family is enough to leave.
3. Get a dog or a neighbor's dog. They will happily eat the hard boiled eggs for you. Ask before feeding stuff to someone else's dog though.
4. Continue as before but just throw away what you don't want to eat. Your kids won't know.0 -
*edited as didn't read all posts*
Or think up another tradition, leave out carrots as it's a 'bunny', more logical then egg for a rabbit :P.0 -
I love boiled eggs nomnomnom. They are quite healthy as well.0

If hard boiled you could try getting one of those kits that blows the egg out of the shell and make a quiche. If chocolate, well, you could put fewer out. You could also make egg shaped cookies and have fun decorating them and then instead of eating them all at once, freeze them and bring them to work. You could bring the chocolate to work too.
There is nothing wrong with sweets. Chocolate doesn't go bad so if you get it to your office, you can portion out a little bit every day; same with cookies. If these are hard boiled eggs, I see a lot of egg salad in your future.
Hard boiled
wait, we are not even talking about candy???????
my reaction as well.

Easter bunny eats carrots at our house. Do rabbits even eat eggs?
If your EB eats hardboiled eggs, eat one. If you are cutting it close on calories, eat the whites and leave "crumbs" of the yolks on the plate.
Not sure why you're concerned about eating real eggs. (candy eggs, I understand concerns for moderation...but I'd eat a bite or two of those as well!) We dye the hardboiled eggs and then I turn many of them into deviled eggs for snacks with Easter dinner. Use horseradish and prepared mustard with a bit of greek yogurt to make them less caloric than the old-fashioned mayo-heavy ones. Same thing with egg salad.
I love eggs, they are a HUGE part of my diet since I've been staying at a caloric deficit. Easy, protein-rich, cheap...what's not to love?
Yah I love eating hard boiled eggs

Wait....if they are for the Easter Bunny, can't you just toss them or give them to somebody that will eat them? I'm not understanding why you have to eat them. I'd just toss them.
The kids think the Easter Bunny ate them anyway I'm guessing right? IDK my kid is 13 and didn't like that stuff when he was little.1 -
Eat the egg whites.0

For those who have no actual advice don't comment. I have a very strict diet and children who aren't stupid. I will the egg whites and figure something out for the kids. I eat eggs all the time but I'm not interested in saving my whole days worth of calories and throwing all the proportions off. I asked for advice you either give it or get the *kitten* off this thread. Tired of all the apps people gotta be trolling.-7

Well, that escalated quickly.
Also, if you need to save a whole day's worth of calories to eat a hardboiled egg? You need to examine your "very strict" diet. It doesn't sound like a healthy way to go about things at all.2 -
