    Mix 1 with an avacado, garlic onion salt and pepper.. Put on toast or crackers.. i like i ton tricsuits with some tomatoes as well.

    yum! like egg salad.. but it masks the egg well and it's healthier with no mayo

    Can do the deviled eggs listed above with avacado instead of mayo too.. I mean if you wanna mess with a good thing anyway.. LOL LOVE deviled eggs!

    I usually undercook my scrambled eggs a bit and then when I reheat at work they aren't nasty. I add some sliced grape tomatoes and 1/2 an avocado after the mircrowave. Yummy! But, if you just don;t like eggs you can find other low calorie sources of protein. Good luck!

    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!

    I don't like them either. Tell your nutritionist to go suck an egg! :laugh:

    Deviled eggs.
    Egg sandwich (boil the egg, de-shell, mix the egg bits with a touch of mayonnaise and spices, and then put that in a sandwich. YUM!)
    Egg salad.

    There are many, many ways to eat hard boiled eggs. It doesn't have to be gooey or icky.

    I wonder if there are other methods of preparing eggs

    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. :wink:

    You can scramble eggs in a microwave.. use a souffle cup or monkey dish as they are called in restaurant business. Depending on power of microwave will determin how long it should cook.
    Crack egg, drop in cup, scramble with fork. Cook.. eat!

    Low fat mozzarella sticks = eggs nutritionally?

    WAHAHAH! Dude. Eggs turn into cheese if you boil them long enough. Silly.

    Mix with avocado, celery, and a little lemon juice for an easy to store, easy to grab-and-go egg salad.

    You can prepare your eggs and veggies for a baked omelette the night before. Pour the mixture your prepared in a non stick pan w/ a spray of pam so it comes out easily and through it in the oven on 350 for 10 minutes while you get ready. It will slide right out and you can eat it on the go-go as my son would say. I've learned in this journey... We make time for the things we want to do and preparation is key. Good luck!

    Hard boiled eggs aren't gooey...are you thinking soft boiled??
    After they are boiled, you peel the shell and it's gooey. At least to me it is. lol.

    Two words: Egg salad! Throw a little mayo, some mustard, salt, pepper, and even some scallions and it makes eggs so much better. I'm not a fan of hard boiled egg yolks, but they're bearable when combined with the aforementioned. I absolutely love deviled eggs.

    you're not cooking them long enough then - i believe it's 12 minutes.

    Mmmmm. I love hard boiled eggs. Sometimes I just eat the egg whites becuase the yellow part does feel gooey sometimes.

    If you don't like something, you don't have to eat it. You know plenty of other alternatives for quick protein snacks, i.e. a cheese string. So why force yourself. Nutrition doesn't have to be torture :)

    ...lol. You should try a pickled egg mmmmmmm.

    "Death Box Eggs".
    1: HA, death box
    2: ALWAYS break the yolk before microwaving an egg. It WILL explode if you don't. Not cool.

    I make scrambled eggs in the microwave at work all the time. Put them in a covered container the night before with some chopped canadian bacon (or whatever else you want in there), pop it in the microwave for 30 second bursts stirring in between until they're fluffy. add cheese at the end. Voila.

    If you like eggs but just not hardboiled, try this:

    Get a whoopie pie pan or a jumbo muffin tin. Grease it and crack an egg into each well. Puncture the yolk with a knife. Crack pepper onto each. Bake at 350 degrees 10-15min.

    Put each egg on a toasted english muffin with a thin slice of cheese and a pre-cooked meat of your choice (bacon, sausage, turkey bacon, soy sausage, etc).

    I freeze them wrapped in tin foil and then microwave or bake them to reheat. If you microwave, flip it over a couple times while you do or the cheese will melt out and the bottom part of the english muffin will steam itself.
