Compact, inexpensive, relatively low in calories, high in protein, and B vitamins. Easy to make and tastes delicious.

OR...

High in cholesterol, leads to heart disease, and cruel to chickens. Horrible tasting.

    The former, all the way. Makes for a great, cheap dinner, too. Goes great on pasta, in stir-fries, tuna salad. So much you can do with an egg.

    Studies have shown dietary cholesterol doesn't lead to high cholesterol levels. As for being cruel to chickens... if possible, get your eggs from a farmer's market. They will be 10x tastier, no cruelty to the animals, and will contain more vitamins and omega 3's.

    I have backyard chickens. Eggs are delicious. Better than the chickens, to be honest.

    I will pick steak and eggs for a meal any time they are available. One of my true weaknesses. Eggs are fantastical!

    They're alright... I'll eat them once, maybe twice a week (with lots of ketchup... I know, bad me).

    I used to love them and ate them all the time.
    Now I'm sick of it. So I won't eat it.
    Maybe I'll be over it soon lol

    I go through at least two dozen per week. They're the secret to weight loss!!! Clearly.

    THIS^^^

    I have 5 chickens in the back yard. There is no comparison. The eggs I eat are usually no more than 5 days out of the nesting box. I collect them when they are still warm. My chickens get to free range in the yard during daylight hours, they get regular treats of fresh or frozen veggies.

    Love eggs - to keep cholesterol down I buy the Egg Creations (egg whites) in the carton. Easy to measure and log here. Less calories too.

    I like them once in a while, but they aren't a favorite food. They make me feel queasy if I eat them too soon after waking though.

    No brainer. Excellent for you. Shouldn't even be up for discussion.

    I really only like them scrambled!

    I know they are as healthy as can be, and full of protein and all that good stuff. I have no qualms with them, except that I don't like the texture of a hard boiled egg. I just can't get over it!

    Maybe someday I'll acquire the taste!
