    I eat at least 4 eggs a day! they are an incrediable source of protein. i used to eat egg beaters but they are not natural and contain alot more sodium. eggs are actually really good for you and are VERY yummy!!!

    I love eggs! I have chickens and they lay lots of brown eggs for me to eat. Yummy! Plus they are free (well, I pay for chicken feed, but that's less than I would spend on grocery store eggs).

    Plus if I'm eating PROPERLY I have trouble meeting my calorie goals, and eggs help.

    Eat eggs! They are nutrient dense therefore fill you up longer! I eat 2 boiled eggs every day. If I feel like a huge yummy omelet I use liquid egg whites.

    I love eggs and eat them more than anybody else I know. For any egg meal, I start with one whole egg and then add whites to get more protein without adding more fat. For breakfast, I'll typically have three whites and one yolk, over easy style, along with a serving of old-fashioned oatmeal. For lunch, I'll scramble one yolk and four or five whites, adding a bit of reduced fat cheddar, and serve that on a couple of whole-wheat sandwich thins or some whole-wheat pasta. Now I'm getting hungry for lunch! :tongue:

    I eat eggs pretty much every day. Good old, regular whole eggs - usually two XL eggs, a slice of whole wheat double fiber toast, a bit of butter, and black coffee = 297 delicious calories. :bigsmile:

    I'm working out twice a day so I need the yolks & I'm not worried about the fat -- Egg yolks are indeed full of cholesterol. Like most cholesterol-rich foods, they are jam-packed full of important nutrients, especially the fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids.

    In fact, the slew of nutrients in an egg yolk is so comprehensive that a few a day would offer better insurance than a multi-vitamin. Most importantly, the yolk contains most of the nutrients in an egg ~ USDA

    The American Heart Association has amended its guidelines on eggs! There is "no longer a specific recommendation on the number of egg yolks a person may consume in a week."

    Given these studies and the fact that eggs are an excellent source of nutrition, the American Heart Association now recommends that you can eat one egg a day, as opposed to three or four per week it previously allowed.

    A COURSE IF YOU HAVE cholesterol then adjust.

    I eat eggs twice a day. Mostly egg whites mixed with 1 whole egg. I have my own hens so after a few days my fridge is chock full of eggs. Love them eggs!

    Eggs are wonderful! If you try to log "scrampbed eggs" you get 365 cal in 1 cup on MFP. This does not have to be so! They are probably counting them with lots of butter and with cheese or bacon or something.
    In reality, you scramble two eggs with a third of a tablespoon of butter, and you get 174 cal only. Enjoy!!!:smile:

    I either fry egg whites or make egg beaters with a little ham in a mug in the microwave. It puffs up and it feels like you are eating more because of the size.

    I eat 2 eggs every morning. 140 calories isn't bad considering all the protein they have!

    I've actually done that, eaten a dozen a day. :blushing: Not a dozen yolks, mind you, but still… I really do love eggs.

    My sister and I were talking about margarine vs butter (fat content) and her reply to me was "I'd trust a cow over science any day" I guess this could apply to chickens too. I aim to eat an egg a day. I quit buying the egg beaters I would never use them since they gave me indigestion when I ate them.

    I have an egg every day for breakfast. Scrambled with a sprinkle of feta cheese and tomato or spinach. Delish!

    I try to eat one large egg, some boiled broccoli and a half cup of rice for dinner to get the last of my calories in. I don't really eat much during the day since I have classes so I try to eat my breakfast and lunch at their designated times... but I could never get in all my calories, so a nice dinner after working out (I work out right after classes) really helps me get them in. The broccoli and the half cup of rice really help make me full though, the egg is really just there since I really love eggs.

    TEAM EGGS!
