Eggcellent thread. this thread is making me laugh :laugh:
Just in case anyone else needs a laugh...I'm with the ladies that thought the yolk was the chicken. WTF? I'm pretty sure someone told me that when I was young. And until reading this thread I was also pretty sure that the white part that is sometimes with the yolk and attached to it was the baby chick that started developing or its umbillical cord!
Anyway, I've always only eaten the whole egg - never been on the whole egg white train. In fact, I boil them up every sunday and bring one to work as a snack every day! Protein and fat work for me to keep me full so it's a perfect snack.0 -
Just make sure your eggs come from an ethical producer! When I get back from Spain, it's veganism for me until I can raise my own hens.0

I love eggs. I love whole eggs scrambled. However trying to watch calorie intake as well as cholesterol so I have recently switched to just egg whites. Still have some bacon with it and low fat cheese on a low carb wrap and some hot sauce. Ummm0

Thank God you posted this, because I have a dozen colored eggs in my fridge. Every time I open that dam fridge they call out to me, Just eat me! Eggs and Franks Red Hot, NOM NOM!
I put that **** on everything!0 -

Fabulous!! I've been wondering if my typical daily egg was too much or if 1 or 2 more a week would be ok! YaY!! Thanks for posting this. It clarified a lot about fats for me. That link is going on my blog today.0

Alright then. What happens to the male chicks from the farm you buy your eggs at?
Not that is is relevant to the broader topic, but they either raise them for meat or sell them to other farms that need a rooster.
In any case, presenting a false dichotomy is erroneous.0 -
Nom nom nom! Have a hard boiled one for breakfast most mornings.0

The male chicks have their use as well, the bird of prey centre I went to last week uses them to feed all their birds (see profile pic).
I love eggs, they are nearly a perfect protein, containing most of the essential amino acids.
Save calories by making them with no oil, like poaching, or soft/hard boiling! I like to add pesto to my scrambled eggs, it's really nice.0 -
Absolutley! No CARBS! Carbs are bad0

I was born and raised in Italy, so you gave me a great idea! Pesto on scrambled eggs! Thanks for helping me making lunch today!0 -
egg yolks make my tummy super mad. i can handle egg whites just fine!0

omg, now I'm a little freaked out - I should NOT have googled about yolks. I found out that white part (not the clear egg white, the tiny amount of white thick mucus towards the edge side of the yolk is where the chick would form and that if there is a tiny red spot in it, that means the egg was fertilized (?!) :huh: . I have seen this in my eggs.....I feel ill. Oh and I was right about that white long part being the umbillical cord... :noway:
ETA: In case anyone is interested: more research says that the red spot is just blood from a stressed hen and doesn't mean it was fertilized and it's ok to eat. Phew. And also the "umbilical cord" isn't one, it is just the stuff that suspends the yolk in the egg white. Phew!0 -
I heart eggs too. They are fabulous protein and I LOVE adding ham, peppers, onions and cheese!
They are one of my favorite things ever!0 -
Eggs FTW!0

HECK YES on the Frank's and hard boiled eggs. Oddly, spicy mustard is also delicious on em.0 -

I have my doubts about your egg supplier using males for meat, since non-capon meat sucks.0 -
Ate four hard cooked eggs for breakfast today:-) Yummy and I was very full!0
-
Thanks for the chuckle! Hey, the yolk is round and yellow, just like a little chicken.... I totally get it.
Add me to that group! :blushing: I always eat the whole thing. Even Gary Yourofsky calling eggs "hen period" didn't stop me.0 -
Best way to eat hard boiled eggs: with HORSERADISH, salt and pepper!! Mmmmmmm!!
Lately I've been cooking eggs in the microwave at work for breakfast and they're DELISH!! One whole egg and three egg whites in a bowl with a dab of olive oil, cooked for just a minute or so (stirred once). Break the yolk so it doesn't explode!
Finish it off with a bit more olive oil, salt and pepper... AMAZING!0 -
I do currently eat eggs had 2 this morning with sauteed veggies. However, after watching vegucated I am rethinking a lot of things.0

JUST EAT THE FREAKIN' EGGS FFS.0

It's not a false dichotomy. Many people are concerned about "ethical" eggs, and they have absolutely zero clue or concern about what happens to the male chicks. How ethical is it to be killing off those billions of males?

I eat eggs every day! The yolks are the best part, mmmm.0
-
But they still don't taste very good.
This is my issue too. I have never aquired the taste for yolk in a boiled egg. Fried? Sure. Scrambled? You betcha. Boiled? Just the white please and thank you!0 -
I LOVE EGGS! YUM! I eat 2 hardboiled eggs every single morning0
