Eggs in your diet

Exquisitern · September 2016

I've had a gastric bypass over 20 years ago, but still have problems eating meats. I eat very minimally any red meats or really any meat whatsoever that is not ground or I chew very very well as it will clog my stomach outlet. I have started eating 2 boiled eggs per days, one in the morning and one on a salad at night to add in protein at night. Just throwing this out and see what people think about eating 2 eggs a day.

I also have no cholesterol problems

I think it's a great idea. Eggs were vilified for a long time and modern medicine has come back to the conclusion that they are a great, complete protein source with a lot of vitamins and minerals. Enjoy your eggs!!

I have 2-3 eggs every morning for breakfast. Absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Thanks, I knew I could get some good feedback. I think they help me stay fuller longer.

I love eggs!!! Have you tried egg muffins? You can use regular eggs or egg substitute like egg beaters and save a few calories. There is a blog called "The World according to Egg Face" and she has awesome egg muffin recipes and just recipes in general for people who had WLS. Check it out of you need some variety.

Eggs are a delicious whole food...my wife and I do vegetarian 3-4 days per week and we eat a lot of eggs and we're considering getting chickens in the spring so that we can get our own eggs right here at home...dietary cholesterol really isn't a concern for most people...for most people, dietary cholesterol has no bearing on blood serum levels.

That's a great idea. Eggs are packed full of fat soluble vitamins too.

Keeping chickens is fun. The one thing that annoys me is that they drop off production in the winter so we've had to get more and more hens and then in the springtime we have more eggs than we know what to do with.

My son has chickens and I couldn't believe the difference in the taste of fresh eggs. Yum!!

I wish I lived in the country, I love fresh eggs too! My grandparents had a farm when I was growing up and I never appreciated it til I got older!

Eggs are delicious and good for you. I just had a two egg omelet with cheese and salsa.

I eat eggs just about every day too. Hard boiled on my salads and for breakfast I will scramble or cook one in my stone wave cooker for a sandwich. Love eggs!

I boil 18 eggs a week and eat them whenever I want a quick snack or before or after a workout. I love them!!

Bearbo27 · September 2016

I eat 3 eggs a day (sometimes even more) and they are great!

How long do hard boiled eggs last in the refrigerator? Thanks

five days tops, and that's really tops...I don't do anymore than three.

JeromeBarry1 · September 2016

2 eggs a day? Yummy!

I eat eggs almost every day

I have a small flock of chickens in my front yard (I live in a tiny tiny rural community). I eat hard boiled eggs as a quick snack or soft boiled/poached/over easy for breakfast or an omelet for any meal! And when we are overrun with eggs, they sell quickly to friends and family! My dietician and doctor both think they are a great source of protein.
