Anyone else eat hardboiled eggs?

I just figured out the nutrition in one egg and its actually very nutritious. For under 90 calories you get a satisfying snack and a good amount of protein(also low Carb)., It's relatively good once in a while- which is because of the high cholesterol in the yolk.

Yes hard boiled eggs are awesome! Great nutritious quick snack or breakfast.

I eat at least one egg almost everyday....never had a problem with cholesterol counts so hasn't been a problem for me. However, studies change all the time. Eggs are bad....Eggs are good....like everything else.

We always keep a bowl of them in the fridge. Can eat them as a snack or I'll even chop up one with a second egg white with a bit of low fat mayo, mustard, touch of hot sauce and throw it on a ryvita cracker with a slice of low fat turkey. It's a great lunch!!

I too keep a bowl of them in the fridge. The kids love them, and on days when we are rushed, 2 eggs make an easy go -to breakfast.

My cholesterol is fantastic. It is my iron levels that need some attention and egg yolks are a good source for iron.

I love tuna with a little mayo and chopped egg and pickles. I eat it right off the spoon, no carbs required! ;o)

Yep, often for an on the go snack or as part of a meal. Never had a cholesterol probem

I swear you can't listen to doctors these days...looks like I see more eggs in my future

I eat 4 hardboiled eggs every weekday as well as 2 each on Saturday and Sunday.

I eat eggs most mornings; I love that I can hard boil them and leave them in the fridge for a super quick breakfast. They're also a super after work out snack too :-)

Yes, I eat eggs almost any way they can be prepared.

I eat upwards of 6-8 eggs per day and my cholesterol has actually lowered.

Cholesterol in food is NOT the enemy.

Eggs are fantastic, you can make a whole chicken from one ...

Dietary cholesterol does not affect blood serum cholesterol.

Never has, never will.

And is 'high' cholesterol a good predictor for heart issues?

No.

Very intriguing. Thanks!

My father eats up to 4 eggs a day, and on his last medical the doctor had commented that he'd never seen somebody with such good cholesterol levels that had never been on medication to lower it so I try not to think too much about it.

I scoop the yolk out, mash it up with some paprika and put it back. Sort of like devilled eggs, and really quick

Four every morning. Now along with 2 pieces of bacon, 1/2 cup of oatmeal, and a cup if milk

I too usually have a bowl of them in the fridge for quick meals. My favorite thing right now is to cut 2-3 of them in half, remove the yolks. Sprinkle the whites with a little sea salt and fresh ground black pepper. Then I take 1/2 of one of the yolks and crumble it up over all the egg whites. If I have turkey bacon on hand I'll have some of that with it too. I like to wash it down with a small can of low-sodium V8. This is a quick brekkie that carries me a lot longer than I expected when I first tried it!

(I only use a little of the yolk because I have not had bloodwork done in a long time and am concerned about cholesterol levels, so just trying to watch it until I have health insurance again someday and can get a complete workup.)

To throw out some fancy sounding jargon

Dietary cholesterol has little to no affect on serum cholesterol levels.

ChaseAlder

I love them. I chop them up and put them on salads or just eat them whole.

chivalryder

I just ate two of them! However, once my carton is empty (5 left), I will be cutting eggs out of my diet entirely. I have a food intolerance to them (found out yesterday).

thisisiamj

YES! and always with chili powder!

ShellyKay67

I ate a hardboiled egg just about every day last week! Time to stock up, going to boil some eggs for a convenient after gym snack and then try and track down a delicious healthy egg salad recipe I found and hook that up for some lunches next week. Thanks for the reminder. :drinker:

marthathebear

Love eggs!

runbyme

Eggs in any fashion are amazing! I eat 2 scrambled in the morning with oatmeal and then another one, hardboiled and chopped onto my salad at lunch...almost every day!
If you don't have any history of cholesterol problems, eat away!

soontobesam

YES! and always with chili powder!

Think I need to try this!

Reinventing_Me

I love boiled eggs and eat them several times a week.

Love 'em!

Love hard boiled eggs. Often take one to work and have it with a piece of toast. Have two chickens so always looking to use up the eggs whilst they are fresh.

Very much agreed.

Good man, most Doctors just parrot what they have been told in their brief 'nutrition' education.

And this is based on Bad Science and the desire to treat symptoms and sell drugs, not to address the underlying issues.

Take a statin to lower my cholesterol? I'd rather lick cyanide.

I've not had an egg today, I am feeling mighty guilty ...

kater8er

Yep! Hard boiled eggs are the number 3 item in my "most used" on MFP

Actually the cholesterol in the yolk is good cholesterol, not artery clogging cholesterol.
