    Mmmm. Eggs. I had a bit of an unhealthy relationship with them when younger - my Grandmother was adamant that more than 2 a week "bound" you, so I was always craving them.

    Nowadays I eat 2 a day or so. Scrambled during the week (from the work canteen) and in omelettes at the weekend. I love boiled eggs as well - we generally steam them six at a time so we always have a ready supply for lunches or to grab on the go.

    Eggs - the ultimate convenience food!

    I adore eggs. I would eat them every day for breakfast if I could be bothered to make them. My favourite way to have them is poached over buttered toast, perhaps with a bit of grated cheddar. Or scrambled with salmon or cheese. Or fried. :D

    I take 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg. I mix in some srirachi, about 1/2 a cup of shredded carrots, 1/4 cup chopped onions and 1/4 cup chopped green, red and yellow peppers. Then I scramble them up in a frying pan (with coconut oil). The taste experience is amazing!

    I consume 2 eggs most mornings, softly boiled with 2 slices of wholemeal toasted bread. I do wonder if the current research about eggs is accurate and variable and if they pose a heart risk; however I balance that with the fact I started dieting at 100lbs overweight and I feel that is more likely to harm me than eating eggs. Eggs help curb my appetite and make it easy for me to meet daily protein goals as Im not a huge meat eater.

    It was and still is the research that says they contribute to heart disease that is flawed and always has been.

    I was eating upwards of 10 a day- now it's closer to like 4-5.

    I don't care- I love eggs- they are so easy.

    I mostly do egg's with chit in them as I like to call it.

    I pre-chop all my veggies in advance- and then I cook bacon- then saute the veggies in the rendering- then throw in the eggs- so it's like an omlette- but not.

    Easy peasy lemon squeezy- Love it.

    I love eggs. seriously- LOVE eggs.

    Two or three, most days.

    Our household (me, the wife, two dogs) go through 2.5-3 dozen per week.

    It is still recommended that you only eat 2 - 3 a week.

    That recommendation was based on flawed science.

    that's rubbish.

    I also think "1 a day = high egg consumption" is rubbish.

    Seriously. 1 a day? that's not even a snack.

    Eggs are delicious- and glorious- and god bless whoever decided they were edible many moons ago. eat up- I surive on eggs and veggies when I'm poor.
    Seriously 24 pack of eggs and 10 bucks of veggies can last me all week for breakfast and dinner.

    1 egg poached over Trader Joe's pain pascal bread, with pepper all over the egg. (all-time favorite)

    2-3 egg omelette with cheese and maybe ham. With salsa or hot sauce if I have it.

    2 sunny side up eggs flipped over, allowing the runny yolk to soak into a bed of hash browns

    or hard boiled eggs? 5,000,000 in one sitting or 2-3 eggs turned into egg salad (I'm a purist, only mayo & mustard please, no celery)

    I like them deviled, hard boiled, or poached on a toasted english muffin w/ ham. Oh, and in a souffle or baked good :laugh:

    When I eat them, it's usually 2-4 in a day.
