I've been eating Boiled Eggs for a while now and want to change it up.

If I Fried Eggs in Coconut oil would the Calories be the same as a Boiled Egg? Then add the Coconut oil Calories? Is that how it works?

Boiled Egg: 70 Calories.
Fried Egg: 70 Calories + Coconut oil portion???

    yeah the egg doesn't change really- it's the oil that's the issue. And really assume about 120 calories per tablespoon of oil.

    so you're egg went from a delicious lower calorie protein snack to a higher calorie fat snack of 200 ish calories.

    i just use a little of the basic spray oil to get as little in the pan as I can when I fry. I also fry egg whites a lot.

    The Calories and Fats aren't really an issue for me. The more the better! I eat very minimal Carbs so I need an extra dosage of Fat. Coconut oil is a gift from the food gods so if I can eat Fried Eggs a healthy way and get my calories at the same time, why not

    I use coconut oil almost every morning for my eggs. 7 grams of coconut oil = 60 calories. Not bad IMO. I like coconut oil because it is very easy to measure out (put jar on scale, zero out, use a fork to scrape out 7 grams, set fork in pan while oil melts off.)

    Yea I use a 20g portion of Coconut Oil in my Eggs which is 181 Calories. Pretty low for the benefits that come with it!

    What's the score with coconut oil nowadays? I've kind of heard mixed studies that its actually worse for you than butter because of the amount of saturated fat and you're better of using olive oil or virgin rapeseed oil?

    Oh noes...the coconut oil cancels out the protein?

    NOTE: I'd rather use non stick spray but that's just me

    My point is you can do the same thing with butter, do you have trouble comprehending that?
