Hard Boiled Eggs aka gooey glob of gross

mtiheartmuscle

Ok, so my nutritionist insticts tell me I NEED hard boiled eggs. Good protein..yada, yada, yada. My problem is, I can't stand the texture of them. I can deal with the taste, but the texture just reminds me of eating a gooey, smelly glob of grossness. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas to make this better? Thanks!

Hard boiled eggs aren't gooey...are you thinking soft boiled??

Sixalicious

If it's for protein you can eat the whites only.

Omelets are not acceptable? Add some nice veggies. Yum!

Are there other things you could gain the nutrient in eggs from? Seems pretty awful to force yourself to eat something that you can't stand.

I wonder if there are other methods of preparing eggs

After they are boiled, you peel the shell and it's gooey. At least to me it is. lol.

Why do they have to be hard boiled? An egg is an egg and has the same nutrients regardless of how it's cooked (or not). If you don't like them hard boiled you can prepare them some other way.

Hard boiled are better hot than cold. But personally I prefer eggs scrambled into a veggie omelet, or over easy on rice.

Hmmm...I wonder...
Anyways... I need something quick to grab, go and eat. I can't whip up some scrambled eggs or an omlet at work. Unless you know how to prepare those using a microwave? I'm not a huge fan of "re-heating" scrambled eggs or omlets.
Thanks for you wise input though.

I put them in my salads, yum

What about deviled eggs, with some relish and mustard? Couldn't be too bad, right?

what about low fat mozereella sticks?

Why do they need to be hard-boiled? (I like them for the convenience, myself.)
I made a eggnog shake recently that was pretty good.
4 eggs, blend
Pour in 1 cup boiling water (careful not to splash)
Blend in 1 scoop (6T) of vanilla protein powder (sweetened with stevia)
I think I added 1/4 cup of powdered milk, and a couple tablespoons of heavy cream
Add a dash of nutmeg and a few drops of rum flavoring.

Chill if you want it cold.

Egg salad. Use the Smart Balance light mayo.

Hmmm..that may be a good idea actually.
Thanks for everyone who gave me other great ideas too. :-D For those of you that gave me other ideas, do you have recipes you follow?

I really don't think you need a certain food. It's the nutrients. What's wrong with something like Greek Yogurt? The kind I eat has 12 grams of protein and 80 calories

They shouldn't be gooey.

I chop them and mix them with chopped celery, smoked turkey breast, diced olives and a bit of mayo or cream cheese.

I've made microwave "scrambled eggs" at work before. Just lightly grease the inside of a mug with butter, scramble an egg in it and microwave for 2 mins.

Dont like eggs? Don't eat eggs.

Ditch the nutritionist and find a registered dietitian.

I love my gooey, smelly globs of grossness!

I don't eat eggs, and somehow I've prevailed. I eat healthy foods, live an active life, feel good, look good, etc.

For protein, I eat dairy (yogurt/cheese) and lean meat. I don't have to to eat eggs to be healthy. For the record, I think hard-boiled eggs are like sulfurous, slimy, super-bounce balls.

I'd find a nutritionist who is more realistic and accepting of dietary preferences. There have to be some flexible alternatives.

nope, just hard boiled.

sjohnny

I know you said you don't like to reheat them but what I do is scramble two eggs with a big handful of baby spinach and some chopped up grilled chicken the night before and then heat it up at work for lunch. I eat this almost every day. Sometimes I'll also put some rice in with all the stuff.

Why do they have to be hard-boiled? Scramble them or something else. Or get those nutrients from some other food.

I make egg salad too, I put two eggs, some spicy mustard and little bit of light mayo and pepper. Put it ontop of salad, or a pita, or low fat bread....endless ideas. Or i scramble mine with some light cheese, splash of skim milk, pepper, and red pepper flakes and enjoy. Can add veggies too
