    I like them hardboiled with some black pepper. No oils added that way. If you have a really good non stick pan you don't need to use the oil when frying/scrambling them either.

    as long as it's an egg, I don't care what form it's in, and whether it's healthy or not, I just love those little boogers....

    I'm on an equal protein/carb diet, and don't have a problem with keeping my fat levels or cholesterol levels in check, so I eat whole eggs mostly....egg whites are awesome, but there's nothing as good to me as a sunny side up egg, some hot sauce, and some toast. OMG, I think I'm gonna make some right now....:wink:

    Egg whites are the healhiest way to eat them you could make a egg white omelette. Aslo if you want the yolk try your eggs poached no oil or grease that way.

    Someone on here once suggested her fave breakfast was an egg white omelet (well, 1 whole egg and then 3 egg whites) with broccoli inside... omh yum! I eat these now regularly, and sometimes for dinner!

    I hard boil them then smash the 2 yolks with 1/2 tbs kraft mayo the reduced fat and cal kind made with olive oil. i add a dash of garlic powder (Not garlic salt) and pepper and both turn out to be about a 200 cal breakfast full of protien. I usually eat 1/2 cup multi grain cheerios dry with it. YUMMY thanks a lot now I want breakfast.

    I take some turkey bacon... cook it in the microwave... and then put it in a frying pan.. ( little pieces) then pour eggs whites on top and stir... they cook inside the eggs and the eggs have a hint of bacon taste...
    turkey bacon is 50 calories for 3 pieces.

    Yummy breakfast sandwich.
    put a little EVOO in pan,
    big handful of spinach, cook until wilted
    add 2-3 egg whites, flip
    add 1 slice fat free american cheese
    put between your favorite bread, my new fav
    Arnold Sandwich Thins whole wheat!
    yummy

    I love egg on toast too! But I've been trying to limit my egg yolks.
    And I hard boil a bunch of them and when I want something to munch, I shell one, pop out the yolk, throw it out and eat the egg white with some salt (yeah, yeah, but it's yummy)

    I just read an article stating a test showed woman who eat eggs for breakfast lose more weight. Something about feeling fuller due to the protein.

    Going to fry some up right now!

    The healthiest way to cook is to use as little as possible to cook them. Hard boiled is good, but poaching and egg is a great way to enjoy the egg like a fried egg without using oil or butter. Just boil the water good and hot and crack an egg in it and let it bubble around for a minute or so and scoop out. . Whites look like fried and yoke as soft or hard as you like.
    I am glad I didn't eat yet this morning, and checked out the site first. Now I know what I am having.

    MMMkay- let me tell u this. I love eggs too. They rock, and they're about the cheapest source of protien on the planet. Anyway, on weekdays/on the go, I eat boiled eggs, one whole plus only the white of one. On the weekends, I eat a lot of 1 egg + 3 white omlettes. My fave is to brown 1/2 a turkey sausage patty (diced) with a spray of Pam and some diced onion. I cook this for a while till the onion is all caramelized and yummy, then I throw in diced tomato and pour the eggs on top. Viola- sprinkle with ff cheese if you like.

    I love eggs-I eat them every morning for breakfast. I like them soft boiled on toast, scrambled with cheese on toast, sunnyside up on toast, and poached on....you guessed it toast! I rarely make omleets, though I love them too, because I can't spend that much time on breakfast in the morning.

    I am not a believer in eggs whites only mentality. All the nuturients and flavor are in the yolks. The only time I ever use eggs whites on is when I make Macarrons. I never salt eggs, and if I fry them I use that spray cooking oil so I do not add any fats.

    Hardboiled eggs are great for a snack (salt optional), and eggs are great at dinner. I am a breafast for dinner kinda girl :laugh:

    I just bought the greatest small appliance just perfect for you! It's a toaster with an egg poacher/cooker. You can hard or soft boil 4 eggs at a time or poach one (perfectly round) while you make your toast. Takes only minutes! Only cost $40 and is totally worth it!
