Calories for frying my morning eggs

If you have a non stick pan you can cook them without oil entirely.

A metal spatula will scratch the non-stick coating off of the frying pan, it is best to use a nylon spatula.

Also, if your pan is older and items are sticking in some spots and not on others it is probably time to get a new frying pan as the non-stick coating is missing on those spots.

Here is some information about non-stick cookware.

Unless otherwise indicated, avoid using metal spatulas and utensils which may damage the coating when cooking with a nonstick pan. Use silicone or plastic utensils.

Clean the pans in the sink using mild detergent and a sponge or plastic scrubber. Do not use Brillo pads, steel wool, or metal scrubbers on nonstick surfaces. Generally, nonstick cookware should not be put in the dishwasher.

Don't use nonstick pans if you don't need to. Reserve your nonstick for eggs, vegetables, and other foods that stick easily to pans. You don't need a nonstick pan to boil water for pasta. Use a stainless steel pot on high heat to boil water—you can add a little oil to the water to keep pasta from sticking to the bottom or sides, if you need to.

Don't overheat your nonstick pans. I can't stress this enough. When using a nonstick pan, cook on low or medium heat. Also, do not leave your pans unattended, especially when empty. Turn off the heat as soon as you are done cooking.

When the nonstick surface appears scratched or pitted, it is time to get a new pan. We have had to replace the skillet that we use regularly because it began to pit after a few years of consistent use. Remember, nothing lasts forever. Flaking occurs after the nonstick coating reaches a later stage of deterioration. While flakes of Teflon are inert and not poisonous, we shouldn't be eating them. Get rid of pans when the surface starts to pit or peel.

If oils or fats are smoking, then the pan is too hot. Never preheat your pans on high heat. High heat is unnecessary for typical cooking. My wife and I have learned to cook at low temperatures and have been very successful at creating delicious, healthy meals. Many people think more heat is better or faster, but newer pans conduct heat well and are actually designed to cook evenly and efficiently at lower heat. Give low heat cooking a try.

Just eat the whole egg. They are very nutritious and good for you. 3-5 really isn't that much either, especially for a guy. Continue to enjoy, though maybe cut out the oil/butter if the calories are getting too high. Depending on size, 3-5 eggs are what, 210-450 calories (large or jumbo?)

When I'm trying to save on calories I use a cooking spray. You can buy a store brand if you want to save money. As for the eggs, 3 to 5 isn't that bad, but you can buy the little container of egg whites and then make like 2 eggs with the rest egg whites. That way you don't sacrifice taste, but you still get your protein boost, Plus you won't go through a dozen so quickly.
