I want to know if eating a hard boiled egg w/yoke each day for breakfast is good or bad? I’m looking to lose 5lbs and I’m trying to change my eating habits and pre-plan quick things I can take with me on the go. Thanks.

If it fit your calories.
I prefer 2 or 3 myself.7 -
You eat 2 or 3 HB eggs a day? Does that impact your cholesterol?1

Don't know if it's good or bad but hard boiled is how I usually eat eggs most of the time now because it's the most convenient way to prepared them.
I just boil a pack of 18 at one time and put them in a bowl of water in the frig abd pull out and peel as many as I want to eat at a time.
A boel will last me a week or two. Eat them plain or added to ramen or salads.4 -

Eating a hard boiled egg as you described is good for you It's a win/win. I read somewhere that people eating an egg in the morning reduced their calorie intake by 400/day on average.
The jury's switched to saying egg yolks aren't bad for cholesterol (moderation in everything though).
I found I would gravitate to an additional egg white over a yolk just because of the extra few calories, but that's just a detail.

I have some fruit and yoghurt before the gym and then two boiled eggs after.4

It's neither inherently good or bad...it just is. I eat a couple of eggs pretty much every day.You eat 2 or 3 HB eggs a day? Does that impact your cholesterol?
Dietary cholesterol plays little to no roll in blood serum levels. Your liver puts out far more cholesterol than a couple of eggs. I started with pretty horrid LDL levels (160s)...I'm around 90 now and eat a couple of eggs pretty much daily.10 -
I'm not the biggest egg fan but do like to have a quick breakfast to take on the go. I'll cook a chicken breast and take 2-3 ounces plus a sliced apple with me out the door...maybe a string cheese too depending on how hungry I am!1

Hard boiled eggs have a certain smell to them....so unpleasant!5

One egg is never enough for me. I'll eat at least two every morning.1

I eat two whole hard boiled eggs and four whites every morning, with hot sauce. It keeps me full all morning and gets a good start on getting my protein for the day.2

Eggs being bad for your cholesterol is an old wives tale. You can eat as many as you want. I eat about 18 a week or more. They are a good, healthy, cheap source of protein.5

I eat at least one boiled egg every morning, for breakfast. Sometimes 2 eggs.
My cholesterol is just fine.
I cooked the egg for 3 minutes, after water starts boiling. It is almost like as " over easy". whites are solid and the yolk edges but not 100%.

That's the odor sulfur in the egg yolk that gives the yolks a green tinge if not cooked properly.
I use the Jacque Pepin method: pick the fat end of the eggvw/a push pin, boil at a low level for 10 mins and put in a ice bath for 15 mins. Precrack the eggs but do not peel them and place in a bowl of water in the frig for use as needed.
The eggs will still give off a sulfur smell and discolor the water if you keep them in the frig for more than a few days. All you have to do is change the water as needed. The eggs keep for a couple of weeks this way. Just don't peel them or the egg whites will start to disintegrate in the water.1 -

I bought one of these. Best thing ever. I get perfect eggs every time, never under or overcooked.0 -
Cholesterol & eggs? When they discovered that cholesterol in the blood stream was connected to heart disease, they immediately told everyone to stop eating anything with cholesterol. I think they assumed that cholesterol in the diet had a direct connection to cholesterol in the blood. That assumption was considered fact for a few decades. Research has proven that dietary cholesterol & blood cholesterol are not connected. Just google "dietary cholesterol" and you'll see medical article after medical article stating this.0
