    Love eggs. Have high cholesterol but also hypothyroid. I can't take calcium or milk with my tablets. About all that leaves me is eggs and turkey bacon or sausage. As long as they are not loaded with cheese and oil they are great. I love a ton of vegetables in my omelet. i stay full longer also.

    Omelets can be healthy if done right. Now if you'll excuse me, I really want one XD

    I love omelettes! It's actually a great way to start your day as they contain healthy fats and great source of protein. For me personally, I find that by eating eggs in the morning, I tend to snack less throughout the day. Plus, omelettes are great way to include veggies -- throw in some mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, onions, etc, whatever takes your fancy and you're good to go.

    Mmmmmmmm, I want an omelette now...with veggie sausages, mushrooms, red onion, spinach and cheese! :love:

    People at work are wrong.

    The only way omelettes are unhealthy is if you don't use cheese on it. Because with cheese omelettes become super delicious (versus just staying delicious) and denying yourself cheese is unhealthy for your soul. Feed your soul. Feed it eggs with cheese brotha!

    I eat eggs for breakfast or lunch several times a week. I find I am less hungry at lunch when I eat them for breakfast. Nothing wrong with eating eggs just make sure you log them and anything else you put in them.

    Oh i love the yolks but have medical issues which is why I don't eat the yokes. Sometimes I'll have 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites but most of the time I don't eat the yokes. My cholesterol has gone way down by following my doctors advice and nutritionist. So I stick with what works for me and go by what my dr and nutritionist advise me to do. No butter for me or bacon or sausage. And its shown great results in my blood work. I cook with all natural spray pam because it keeps me from over doing it on the oils. Plus my food comes out of the pan much easier. :wink: Believe me I would love to use butter when I cook but I can't. Would love to have bacon, salami, whole milk etc etc. With my family history of high cholesterol and strokes and heart disease I watch all those things.

    Yeah I have cholesterol issues too. I have seen arguments that the cholesterol in eggs does not raise your cholesterol. Blood work does not lie though, so keep doing what you are doing. I use most egg whites too, we will see how my blood work comes back next time. I use myself as a guinea pig to find what foods impact me and what don't. :tongue:

    Yup blood work doesn't lie. I know someone who thinks she can eat whatever she wants and then complains about her cholesterol levels. She'll eat pizza and cheese cake. She's had strokes and has high BP. Well when I was told i had high BP and high cholesterol I got on it and cut out everything the dr and nutritionist told me to. I'm no longer on any meds of any kind. NOTHING! No more pain from my Fibro or RA or even my MS. I tried going gluten free but that was really tough to stick with every single day. And it didn't really make much of a difference in my blood work or how I felt. Right now I can honestly say I haven't felt this good since I was 25 years old.

    Numbers don't lie. My total cholesterol dropped over 70 points to 170s and BP dropped from 140s/100s to 112/78 in 10 months never taking medication, just weight loss and increasing exercise. I eat 18 whole eggs a week. But what works for some doesn't for others.
