Eggs...how many do you do?

When I have eggs, it's usually three eggs, but I only have them about once a week on the weekend. I normally don't have time to cook them during the week for breakfast. Once in awhile for dinner.

I have 2 whole hard boiled eggs every mornin for breakfast!

I've been eating 5 eggs a day (4 whites only, 1 whole egg) almost every day since December. Had a physical in July & compared to last July (when I was still super fat & all my cholesterol numbers were borderline horrendous), every single one of my cholesterol measurements improved. I scramble them with a serving of some salty, fatty meat like chorizo, Spam, bacon or spicy smoked sausage. I literally NEVER get tired of it. Low carb rocks.

P.S. The only reason I toss most of the yolks is because of the fat content, not the cholesterol. The less yolks I eat, the more bacon I can have. Nom.

2 eggs, 2 whites most mornings now ............. but at least 2-4 eggs a day for many years now............i dont go to Dr's though, so i couldn't tell you what my cholesterol is as a result.........

I eat 2 whole eggs (scrambled) per day. I might change to one whole egg and the egg whites. So far my english muffin with peanut butter and scrambled eggs breakfast has kept me full 100% until lunch time... which is awesome! So I will probably stick to it. I have no idea how my cholesterol is affected. I eat other foods that help lower it, plus I exercise. If my levels are too high next time I go check it at the docs I will probably switch to egg whites.

Research studies have demonstrated that eating cholesterol does not have much effect on the amount of cholesterol you produce and have in your blood. Eating saturated fat has a much greater effect - if you want to reduce blood cholesterol, keep intake of saturated fat low.

Is that a serious post....who advised you that eating bacon n chorizo js a good alternative....or the fact that on any diet its not healthy to eat all that!! Surprised ur numbers werrent wors....chill w the salty fatty meats!!! Those in any way are gross for u!!!

I usually eat two in the morning.

I eat three eggs a day. I like to have a mushroom omelette for breakfast keeps me going all morning. My annual cholestrol tests always come out on the low side.

1 egg, every day.

I have 4 egg whites every morning. The reason I don't eat the yolk is that I don't like the taste.

I don't eat them every day (simply coz I would get bored of them otherwise) but I always have a few eggs at the weekend, either an omlette, scrambled or poached.

I love them and I think they have moved away from the whole "only eat two a week" theory now, and you are actually encouraged to eat as many as u like.

Eggs are amazing.

I love the way a good protein breakfast with Eggs fills me up and keeps me from feeling hungry for a long time!

I make these Breakfast Muffins nearly every Sunday evening, for an "on the go" breakfast during the week - I warm up one or two and eat 'em on the drive to work! You could also warm up a whole wheat tortilla with some cheese and one of these muffins for an egg burrito.

You can pretty much make the "filling" however you want - this is how I do it....

To make 12 "muffins", this is what I saute' together in a large frying pan sprayed with no-stick spray:

1 medium Chopped onion - I use purple onion
1 large Red Bell Pepper
1/4 - 1/2 cup cooked broccoli
1/4 - 1/2 cup cooked spinach
Morningstar Farms Original Sausage Patties - 4 patties

I make sure everything is chopped up before I throw it in the pan.

As that's all cooking together I beat together the following:

4 whole eggs
1 1/2 cups "All Whites" - carton egg whites, this is equivelant to 8 whole eggs
10-12 tablespoons (approximated) skim milk.
(This is my choice - to limit my egg yolk consumption. I do think the yolk is very nutritious, but I wanted these muffins to be lower in calories. If you want you can certainly just use 12 whole eggs instead).

Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Put equal spoonfulls of the "filling" mixture from the frying pan into each section of the prepared muffin tin. Sprinkle with a very small amount of shredded cheese - I prefer Parmesan. Using a ladle, pour egg mixture over the filling/cheese.

I bake at 375 degrees for 12-18 minutes until eggs are cooked through & tops a bit brown, they rise a little like mini souffle's but fall a bit after they come out of the oven. If needed I put the broiler on for the last 1-2 minutes to give 'em a nice browned top.

Once cooled these lift out easily with a small spatula. Because I only used 4 whole eggs for 12 "muffins", there's only 1/3 of an egg yolk in each one, but plenty of egg whites for the protein. This is a great alternative if you have chosen to limit your egg yolk consumption.

I put the recipe into my MFP database - they came out to 98 calories per muffin!

I eat an egg sandwich with 2 eggs every morning and a salad for lunch with a hardboiled egg on it. So I eat at least 19 eggs per week. 3 per day on weekdays and 2 per day on weekends. My total cholesterol is 99. 45 HDL and 44 LDL.
