    I eat 2 - 3 a day... depending on if I'm eating them with meat.

    Some days it's scrambled with veggies.
    Or baked with cereal on top (sometimes wrapped in bacon).
    I quick-scramble in the microwave.
    I've done a breakfast casserole with broccoli and bell peppers.
    Or scrambled with leftover shredded beef/chicken to put in a corn tortilla.

    I eat in the car on the way to work so everything needs to be simple (don't want too much distraction). So 2-3 hard boiled eggs and 2 strips of bacon goes nicely into a ziploc for a comuters breakfast 3 days a week. 290 calories as well.

    It really depends. Some days I'll have 3 some days I'll have none. On average my household (2ppl+dog) eats a dozen each week. I like eggs many ways. It's easiest to just hard boil them and have them for snack or on a salad, but on the weekends I cook them over easy. Over the weekend I made these:

    Got the idea from nerd fitness.

    Because I try to eat a wide variety of food, I don't eat eggs every day. But I do like eggs a lot. I probably eat around 4-5 a week. I had to look in my food diary to tell you where they showed up in the last two weeks. Yesterday and today was a frittata for breakfast. Also used an egg last night in the breading of pan fried tilapia. Also in last few weeks have had a hard boiled egg in salad at lunch. Soft boiled egg at breakfast. Fried egg in hole (bread) breakfast. Omlette at breakfast. And, of course, the eggs I used in my homemade ice cream. :-)

    Scrambled or Omelet. I don't like the texture of Egg White, or runny yolk.

    Just finished two sunny-side up (runny!) of my own chickens' fresh eggs over sauteed cherry tomatoes, leek and swiss chard.

    I love eggs all ways but perfectly poached or fried is my favorite with the super runny yolk.
    I'm a master at hard-boiling too though:
    Cover eggs in pot with cold water, bring uncovered to boil. Turn off heat, cover, let sit EXACTLY 7 minutes. Drain and shock in cold water. I get perfect, sunshine-yellow-not-gray eggs every time.

    Every day, 3 or 4 for breakfast.. I fry up some zucchini (about 2 cups!) and sometimes some mushrooms, add the eggs and pepper. When they're done I eat them! yum!

    Sometimes I can't help it and make some bacon for either breakfast or lunch, then I can't help but fry up a couple more eggs in the bacon fat. YUM!

    I love eggs.

    I eat 3-6 every day. I go through a lot of eggs every week.

    A bit yes, but it wasn't to bad. I cooked them for 30m @ 350

    Pretty much everyday - 4 large cage free/organic brown egg whites only (because I don't really like yolks), either in a lavash wrap, plain, with swiss cheese or 1/2 slice 2% american, sometimes in any kind of wrap, sometimes with lettuce, sometimes with a slice of center cut bacon, etc. But I absolutely LOVE egg whites! Especially getting the ones from local farmers. I've even eaten them on a spicy black bean burger with lettuce.

    I wonder if you cooked the bacon first and crumbled it inside.... hrmmm... will have to experiment :)

    I love mine srambled with cottage cheese and onion, poached on toast with tomatos and spinach, boiled and tossed in a salad. And I can eat up to three at a time, a few times a week.

    I usually do a 1/1 split (whole egg/egg white) scramble with peppers and onions and cheese. Then I will do one over medium and put on some pumpernickle bread with bacon and cheese...something about gooey yokes and bacon is just heaven.

    Or if it is a breakfast day out I will usually get a classic breakfast of two over easy so I can toast dip!

    On Sunday I thought I had 6, but it was 7. Over easy or over hard. Depends how hot my skillet is that day.

    Normally on weekends when I have time to make them, I like a 3 egg omelette with 2 fried eggs over medium added in with the ham, bacon, and cheese, and it looks something like this:

    It just smiles at you.

    3 raw blended with my coffee and some coconut oil every morning, it's the best frothiest coffee.

    And sometimes 3 more later, blended with some spinach and whatever fruit is around.

    I have 3 eggs with spinach, carrot and celery made in an omelette. I eat half before I work out and the other half when I get back that is M-F and on the weekends usually two each day
