    If you don't like something don't force yourself to eat. Eggs are a great food, and even referred to as a 'perfect food' (A nice ratio of fat to protein, imho) but again...don't eat stuff you don't like.

    They are neither good nor bad...they are just eggs...they have no magical properties...they are a good source of protein and healthy fats and an excellent source of other nutrition...but you can also get those nutrients elsewhere if you don't like eggs. There is no reason to force yourself to eat something you don't like.

    I love them and I eat eggs every single day of the week.

    Eggs are delicious, but like everything else, moderation is the key.

    This^

    If you don't like eggs, get protein from beans, soybeans, Greek yogurt, lean meat (or heck not-so-lean meat)..whatever...if it fits your macros.

    They are a great source of protein and not a lot of fat. I eat them nearly every day, even though I'd rather have a donut!

    Eggs are effing delicious. But if you don't like them there are other ways to get your protein in. They work for me most days. Some days I don't feel like eating an egg, so I don't. Add bacon. That always makes eggs better. Or steak. That also goes great with eggs.

    Eggs are pretty great. If you don't like the taste it is no big deal as they are easy to "hide" in recipes.

    Love them. 6+ a week. 3 per serving.

    I take 2 whites + 1 whole.
    It cuts the fat/cholesterol/calories.
    You get the protein.

    You get the 'color' you expect when eating scrambled or an omelet.

    The dog gets a shiny coat from eating 2 yokes :).

    There are WAY more sources of protein out there. Plant based and animal protein. If you dont like eggs, find something else. But they are good.

    Great food if you like them. However, there are lots of sources of lean protein - chicken, fish, yogurt, cheese, milk, protein powders, etc. - that you should find one you like and just eat that. After you've experimented a bit, you'll certainly find something sustainable for you. As for me, I eat eggs or egg whites every day (and sometimes multiple times in a day).

    Are you a vegetarian? If not, eat some meat. If so and you don't like them, find something you do like. They have about 6 grams of protein apiece, so they aren't a major source if you're a meat-eater.

    I always keep boiled eggs in my fridge for an easy on the go snack, breakfast with some fruit or to add to a salad.

    Well I only said I was going to force myself to eat them because im very picky and I wont try things I ate as a kid and hated lol
    But I have been eating Oatmeal for the past week and "Thought I hated it" But its actually really good lol
    You change as you get older so maybe eggs wont be so bad.

    Eggs are great! Delicious!

    Don't eat food you don't like just because you heard it might be good for you though. If it's all about the protein, just eat foods with protein in 'em that you do like.

    Grab a cookbook that has a section dedicated to eggs and master cooking them. I guarantee you'll find a way to enjoy them even if you decide that it will be in cake or ice cream.
