    This made my day. Also, how do I let the Broccoli Otter know where I live? I love broccoli!

    Have you been a good girl this year? Have you made sure not to drill into, paint, or pee on ANY trees? If so, be sure to leave your wet mud outside on the evening of April 23! The Broccoli Otter is SURE to come! His magic buck teeth sense all the good little children everywhere.

    Happy Arbor Day!

    It would be awesome if there was a Broccoli Otter, well if he brought something my son liked. Perhaps it could keep him from picking up every single stick in the woods when we go hiking and surreptitiously breaking off twigs as you goes along.

    I have to loose 80 lbs very quickly in order to train and be accepted into the mma program I've been workin towards. I have less than a year to do it. I've lost about 60 but have another 80 to go. So no fitting an egg in is a problem. Whatever you guys have at it. I asked for advice and all I get is basically *kitten*. I found someone who helped me with it so ummm peace. The only quacks I have found today are right here. If it weren't for this app being so helpful with keeping track of what I eat I would say *kitten* it and delete this *kitten*. Real *kitten* supports up in here.

    U hangry?

    Ha ha, not sure there's any motivation in the world - even the Broccoli Otter - strong enough to keep boys from doing that. My dudes do exactly the same thing, what is up with that...pick up twigs, snap twigs, ZOMG gotta get all. The. Twigs. For...no discernible reason...

    By the way, your little guy is adorable.

    Jaysus, OP, way to be Hangry. You got plenty of decent advice for what's really (in the grand scheme) a very minor issue. You also got a lot of "huh?" responses which were really well warranted coz frankly, it's a bloody weird question.

    They're eggs for gods sake. Eat them, throw them down the street, Hell -break them up and flush them down the toilet if you want, it's where they'd end up anyway. But calm your farm. Seriously.

    Wow, OP, I don't know if you have the aggression for MMA.

    And, seriously? Someone training you for MMA is having you starve yourself? I'll double down on Quack. You should be on a serious bulk, I would think.

    And, again, 70 calories of high quality protein is not going to be off limits in any legitimate athletic diet. So, yeah. Calm yoself.

    I put chocolate in the freezer and then I ration it. It won't go bad and you usually forget that it's in there until you come across it one day and it's a happy surprise :)

    Speaking of Easter...I'm reading through MFP message boards and you know how ads are embedded at the top and bottom of each page? I just had one for Walmart advertising all their Easter candy specials. Weird website for this ads, unless one concludes Walmart wants me to fail! :(

    MFP, like most websites, uses Google Ads, which gives you adverts based on your browsing habits. Been looking at Walmart Easter candy specials, have we? :P

    Actually, I haven't. :) Ads do follow me at other websites, but all the ones on MFP seem totally random (looking a a home equity line right now, and something called Embeddables was on the last page). Maybe I can get a home equity line to buy lots of Embeddables and Walmart candy!

    To be fair the ads are pretty random sometimes, but they're often not specific to the website. Right now the ads on MFP are intent on selling me a thinner wallet.

    A hard-boiled egg white is basically one of the best things you could possibly eat. Tons of protein, almost no calories, lots of nutrients. It really doesn't make sense to not be able to fit this into your diet, unless you feel like you MUST eat 20 or 30 eggs at once or something.

    Eggs are a great addition to compost. The shells especially--they add calcium to the soil. Chop up the eggs a bit and throw them into a compost pile if you are feeling guilty about wasting them.

    Hopefully her "training" will incorporate an attitude adjustment.

    Since your kids aren't stupid, tell them the truth about false idols so they don't force you to eat a nutritious egg.

    I guess stuff an egg in your purse and happy Easter.

    I don't know why, but every time I think of this I die laughing. I'm literally sitting here at work, crying and turning red just quoting it.

    I got the thin wallet too, I though it was a super weird targeted ad as I've literally never owned or bought a wallet in my life.

    Why not buy yourself a really special/pricey chocolate egg and split it up so you can work it into your daily calories? You won't feel like you're missing out then and won't be as tempted to eat the children's chocolate. :)

    This thread is amazing. Let me just see if I've got this.

    The OP asks a vague, random question about eggs at Easter. A few well meaning responders offer suggestions on both the chocolate and hard boiled egg fronts. OP comes back and clarifies that she meant hard boiled eggs. People point out that hard boiled eggs are one of the lowest calorie forms of protein one can eat. People also point out the fallacy of the idea that fictional bunnies would eat hard boiled eggs. OP lashes out saying that she's on a super strict, and here is where I feel like I must have misread something, MMA training plan which restricts even 70 calories of egg protein, maybe just the yolk because I think she said she could eat the whites? She then calls the responders a bunch of names and tells us to go F ourselves, which I find ironic given the original question was about Easter which is a Christian holiday and that doesn't seem in keeping with the spirit of Easter but whatevs... then a bunch more people who didn't read the whole thread are giving chocolate egg suggestions.

    Did I get all that right?

    Yes, and add in there that all suggestions are hogwash, except the ones she's already decided are right in her head.

    This is the first I've heard of leaving something for the Easter bunny (if I'm reading that correctly). Then again, my kids never believed in the Easter bunny. It was always a just-for-fun story for them. They somehow managed to swallow the whole Santa Claus thing, but a human-size rabbit inexplicably carrying eggs around (rabbits don't lay eggs, rabbits don't eat eggs, I mean what the...? At least Santa Claus's excuse was that he liked kids, supposedly) was just a bridge too far for them. ;)
    I grew up in the UK where the Easter Bunny wasn't a thing. Your parents, or someone else who liked you, said "Happy Easter" and handed you a chocolate egg. I got in trouble when we first arrived in Canada and I said, in front of a school friend of my son "Oh we just leave the eggs out for the kids on Easter morning". I got a stern look and a hard foot-nudge and had to quickly back-pedal.

    I'm in the UK. Some people do Easter egg hunts for kids, but it's not a big deal really.

    I've never heard of leaving something for the bunny.

    I used to have rabbits...they liked lettuce and carrot and rabbit food (whatever was in that). Tell your kids they can leave a salad this year :)

    you forgot her super restrictive diet to get into MMA training..

    but other than that I would say you covered everything...

    Never heard of leaving the Easter Bunny treats. I would leave a carrot for a rabbit because that's what rabbits eat.

    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.

    If your kids aren't stupid and are checking the trash to see if you tossed the eggs then they are certainly smart enough to not be wasteful and leave out eggs for an imaginary bunny. Just don't do it.
