Random question...I like to eat eggs in the morning with toast, I find that it keeps me full the longest. My typical way of frying the eggs is putting a tablespoon of butter in a pan and frying them that way. What other ways do you guys fry your eggs that could be less fattening than a tablespoon of butter??

You fry your eggs? I've never even heard of doing that!
I just put a drop of olive oil in the pan (sometimes) and swirl it around to coat the pan and then toss in the scrambled eggs (seasoned with salt/pepper)0 -
if you want lower fat, poaching or soft boiling is best... if U really want fried, butter is better than most chemical laden sprays... you can also try less butter and a tiny bit of water to kind of do a half poach half fried option0

cooking spray made with olive oil. we usually the PAM brand0

I'm not sure this would work if you simply fry the eggs whole, but when I make scrambled eggs I just mix in some water, which makes butter or spray unnecessary. By the time the water steams off, you'll have perfect scrambled eggs ;p0

Thanks everyone! I think I'll try a cooking spray.
Anayalata: you've never heard of frying eggs? Its basically just having eggs over easy or over medium. Deliciousss!!0 -

I pop mine in the microwave with a dash of milk for 30 secs, stir and nuke for another 20secs, stir again and pop onto your toast. Super quick and no added cals, out the door and on my bike in 15 minutes after I wake :-)0

Cooking spray is nasty. Don't use that, use real food. Healthy fat is good for you (fat does not make you fat!). Butter is awesome, but if you want to change it up, coconut oil or lard/tallow are good too. Olive oil is for low-temp cooking only -- it converts at high temps and is no longer healthy.0

Buy a non-stick pan and you won't need to use any form of butter/oil0

I like my egs boiled , sliced on toast with salt pepper and a splash of worcestershire sauce0

My nonstick pan is awesome (and it was cheap) I just out the egg in and it doesn't stock at all coming out :-) lately though I have really taken to poaching. I just use water. Some say to use vinegar but it seems to not make a difference for me :-)0

I boil them. I had two for lunch today0

Also find a Lower Carb Bread for the Toast.0 -
Pam! a spritz adds no calories and creates some beautiful fried eggs. Or soft/hard boil them, or poach them - but I always fail at poaching..0

Absolutely this ^^
Otherwise, I prefer poached eggs. You can buy little plastic tray things for poaching in the microwave. It takes the same amount of time as frying.0 -
Theres nothing wrong with using butter, its much more healthy and natural than a spray but you dont need a tablespoon. I heat 5 grams of butter in a non stick pan, then crack the eggs in, turn the heat off and put a cover on the pan for a couple minutes. Perfect eggs with a lovely runny yolk, YUM!0

I make mine in the microwave with a little cheese and oscar meyer real bacon bits if I have them. super yummy, lots of protien, no oil, and little work involved. Takes just over a minute. you can also add salsa!0
