    Don't eat them. Just because something is healthy doesn't mean that you have to force yourself to eat it. Why punish yourself? There are plenty of other ways to get the protein, micros, and fat that you get in eggs. I cannot stand fish, so I don't eat fish.

    one more vote for don't eat them. There's nothing magical about them if you don't like them.

    I just figured since they are a relatively cheap source of good protein I should bite the bullet

    I don't eat things I don't enjoy. You'll never see me eat kale, I don't care how good for me it is.

    I try to get eggs as well but I'm not a big fan of them. Try it over veggies or in sauce, on rice...hope this helps!

    Ughhh...I had to laugh at this because I've been trying to make myself eat eggs the last couple days. Yesterday went ok, but today I'm feeling a little ill. I made those mini omelette things in muffin tins with bacon and cheddar cheese. Maybe it's because I had to microwave to reheat? But yeah...I feel like they're just sitting there all gross.

    1 egg + 1 oz cream cheese blended up, cook like a pancake. Yummy.

    This sounds yummy...I may have to try it!

    I'm not an egg fan either but I like them for the protein/fat bump. One thing the Army taught me...lots of hot sauce can mask even the worst of foods. So I scramble mine, and apply quite a bit of hot sauce (all logged of course). I don't eat them daily since I'm not a fan. I usually include a side of bacon as a treat when I do have eggs to make it more palatable. The other option is to consider just using egg whites (it's actually the yolks I'm not fond of); however, you will have much less fat sans yolks, so it will depend on what macros you are trying to get.

    I don't like the texture, taste or smell of eggs and it doesn't matter how they are prepared.
    Now if they are in something as an ingredient like brownies, that's okay.
    My cousin once added scrambled eggs into a chicken fried rice stir fry and it was okay until I got a bigger piece of an egg and could actually taste it and it ruined the whole thing for me. I'm pretty sure I had a bad experience with eggs as a child and I'm turned against them for life. haha or I just don't like eggs.

    There are also people in my life that are like try it! try it!! try it!! and I'm like I HAVE. Try it again!! I HAVE! Have you had it this way? YES! What about this way? YES! and guess what? I still don't like eggs. haha

    In case this isn't apparent from my post: It's okay to not like eggs!

    I make them scrambled and add sweet chili sauce to them. That should help

    I love eggs and eat them most mornings, but there's nothing so special about them that would make me eat them if I didn't like them. There are numerous equally healthful things you can eat.
