    Love eggs - particularly as an omelette (so many exciting fillng options!) and poached. But the best has to be cutting into a perfectly fried egg.....and they are so good for you (eggs as a wholel that is) :-)

    Eggs are good for you. When I fry eggs, I fry them in bacon grease.

    Me too. Bacon Grease FTW!

    I don't personally like fried eggs. I like my eggs scrambled with butter instead of spray, mixed with diced ham and shredded cheese.

    If you like them fried, eat up. Eggs are delicious and a great source of protein.

    How many eggs would one suggest a week for weight loss? I love eggs and all the health benefits..

    As others have said, as long as the eggs are not preventing you from hitting your calorie or macro goals, you can eat as many as you want.

    I'd go with the whites and a few yolks. Too many yolks will fk up your macros.

    False. Depends on the person's macros and what else they're eating that contains fat.

    Whole eggs taste too strong for me so I eat 2 whole eggs with 4 whites.

    Egg whites are better for you, however everything in small amounts is ok as long as you stay within your target calories. I have bioled eggs in the week when Im training and then a fry up (air fryer such a good investment) with fryied egg whites of a weekend

    I wipe the frypan with a thin layer of olive oil and fry them - nothing worse than a fried egg dripping in fat!

    Best way to make them :)

    I'm trying to lose weight and have been having a few fried eggs on top of raw chopped kale in the morning before the gym with a tbsp of soy sauce and fresh ground pepper. I mix it all together and it is a great dish. I could eat this 3x a week. However are fried eggs good or bad for weight loss? I fry the eggs in PAM vegetable cooking spray to reduce calories and fat opposed to olive or vegetable oil. Are fried eggs good or bad? Should I skip eggs entirely or just have egg whites?

    I love kale, love eggs, never thought about putting them together. I have to try this!

    If you have a good nonstick skillet, you can fry them with very little fat or even with no fat.

    If you want to avoid the added fat, try poaching them. I love them poached on an English muffin toasted. I have them a coupled times per week.

    Fried eggs are fine....I'd say the oil spray should be avoided, use a good fat suitable for high heat instead (coconut oil, butter/ghee)

    Funny how some people still believe that yolks are not healthy and find excuses not to consume them. Where on earth are we going to find a better fat source (bang or the buck) than yolks.

    I sometimes have 10-12 fried eggs per day. All good.

    No food is inherently good or bad. If it fits your macros, eat it.
