    I love EGGS! Now that I know how to hard "boil" 'em in the oven, it's so easy for me to always have a dozen or so on hand. :)

    :huh: 'splain this to me? How do you hard boil them in the oven?????? Inquiring minds~~~

    Not sure if anyone said this but there is a difference between good and bad cholesterol and eggs are not the worst culprit for bad cholesterol!

    There is cholesterol in all kinds of foods so saying just one or the other needs to be cut, IMO, is ridiculous. Eat your eggs, cut out the yolks once in a while as that's where most of the cholesterol is and then have a whole egg when you feel like it. I go between the two as often as I want. I love scrambled egg whites with mozza cheese and I also love whole eggs over medium with hashbrown potatoes.

    I have 2 eggs with bacon every day for breakfast and will sometimes have eggs for dinner as well - Since November my cholesteral has gone from a total of 249 to 172 so no way you can tell me they are bad for you..... if it works in your eating program - go for it - I do LCHF by the way and that's working for me :-)

    LOL I haven't done this yet but I have heard about it. I guess you can't call them boiled technically but they come out like if boiled.

    Eggs are a staple in my diet. I eat 3-4 eggs every morning, usually fried up with cheese, olives, or sweet peppers (sometimes all three at once!). I also throw bacon into the mix when it's available. Nobody should ever be afraid of the egg. It's like Nature's perfect nutrition jewel.

    Past two weeks on certain days I've had 15 eggs, 12 eggs, 11 eggs, 14 eggs, and yesterday 14 again. Oh wow. I am still alive.

    Yep, I love eggs too. A few years back, when they were saying not to eat eggs because of the fat/cholesterol, I didn't believe them. The reason is because, if you look at nature, tons of animals eat eggs. Even many types of birds will raid other bird nests to eat them. If they were really that horrible for you, they wouldn't be so coveted.

    Now eggs are reported to be okay to eat and contain the healthy type of cholesterol- yay! The only thing I have to say is that it would be nice if consumers were more aware of the industry. Please try to purchase cage-free, natural eggs (even then there is some deceiving going on in the industry about what constitutes cage-free, but let's each do the best we can). :)

    Eggs used to have a bad rap - just like how everything "low fat" was good for you...

    if your cholesterol is fine, you can eat them. 2 eggs a day is fine.

    Eggs are awesome. Although for protein I prefer to reach for lean chicken or turkey.

    Three egg omelette that comes in about 790-800 cals with the toast.

    No, really, I don't know. Just keep to what you like and works for you. Everyone's got their opinion on what you should or shouldn't eat and how that THE way to go. Truth be told, people are different and if you're doing fine with eggs, then keep eating them.

    I quit basic dairy (milk/cheese/yogurt/ice cream etc. ) so I can
    sometimes eat 2 hard boiled eggs per day. I do try to get at
    least 1per day. Love them too.

    The rule is your not supposed to eat more than 8 eggs a week. All nutritionist and dietitians say that.

    In my opinion, eggs are great. Tasty, nutritious, protein rich. What's not to love?

    I love my eggs. So much so that upon occasion I will add two fried eggs to the inside of my omelette.

    I love eggs! We actually have chickens so we have fresh eggs all the time which is nice (and delicious). By the way if you haven't ever tried it I recommend sautéing zucchini with seasonings and then add eggs to make an omelette or sauté and then scramble eggs in with it.....really good taste and I would've never put the 2 together. We had some fresh squash and eggs from a garden. It was amazing.

    I really love my eggs and mostly I hear everyone saying they are scared of eating too many eggs!! Say WAT?? I am not to keen on eating a lot of meat so I use eggs and cheese, beans and peanut butter for most of my protein intake! Chicken is mostly my meat of choice and red meat only about once a week if that. My cholesterol levels are fine so I do not see where eating eggs in place of meat say 3 times a week should be a problem!! They a cheap and easy n quick to cook!! The perfect go to protein sources!!

    So good ppl what are your opinions on EGGS??

    I love eggs! I love them for any meal too. Poached, boiled, scrambled, fried (no oil), as an omelet. yummy!

    Don't know if this has been mentioned yet. Easy hard-cooked eggs: Put the eggs in an electric kettle, cover with cold water, and turn the kettle on. The kettle will shut off when it boils, then you can leave them for ~20 minutes. Perfect hard cooked eggs. I actually put 3 or 4 in the kettle before going to bed and take them out in the morning.

    I'm not a big fan of the taste of eggs. I eat them every now and then, but never early in the morning. They make me queasy if I eat them too soon after waking.

    If you've been eating eggs regularly and your lipid levels are fine, then it's unlikely you need to worry about them.

    I quit eating eggs when my cholesterol LDL count was 176. Still stay away from them.

    I love eggs! I'm having 2 poached eggs, 1 Rudi's Multigrain English Muffin and 2 slices of bacon for dinner tonight! (481 cal)

    In saying that, whenever I'm having an omelet or scrambled eggs, I use 1 egg and 1/4 cup of Egg Beaters Southwestern flavor, just to cut down on the calories and also the seasoning is perfect!
