    I eat 2 or 3 whole eggs a day not for cholesterol issues but to meet my protein intake

    Eggs are the miracle food as far as I'm concerned! lol SO versatile, yummy and low-cal! I never make them in an unhealthy way, like fried in real oil, I either bake, hardboil, "fry" on my griddle with nonfat nonstick Pam Butter Flavored Spray or scramble in some evoo w/ whatever veggies or meats I want! :) Oh, also an "egg-drop" soup that's sauteed garlic in evoo, add chicken (or vegi) broth, get to roiling boil and start drizzling in eggs you've previously 'batted'! ;)

    I eat 3 whole eggs per day, my cholestoral has dropped to perfectly healthy levels since I started doing that mixed with a good diet/excercise.

    My favorite is to make a mexican omelette with some lean meat, onions, peppers, a little cheese, salsa, and fat free sour cream. Oh yeah and maybe just a few black olives...

    Making me wish I'd prepped my eggs for today. I'm having them tonight as dinner, though. I love eggs, and I notice if I don't eat them, I suffer a lot on energy because meat is sooooo expensive and you can only eat beans so much.

    I just had eggs fried in the bacon fat for lunch.
    I eat eggs almost every day.

    If you don't have high cholesterol, go for it. I love them.

    If you read Metabolic Effect, it'll give you a WHOLE NEW perspective on fats. Eggs are good for you!!

    There have been studies that show people who eat at least 1 egg a day have an easier time losing and maintaining weight loss... it looks like you've discovered that all on your own!


    I have at least one egg every day.

    Oh I'm not opposed to fats. I just make sure they come from all natural sources as much as possible.

    Eggs are amazing. Don't cut yourself short. I eat 2 everyday. EVERY.SINGLE.DAY (the whole thing).

    Me too! Unless I run out. :smile:

    Eggs are awesome! I eat them most days. My 4 year old even asks for hard boiled eggs for a treat.

    Yum! Throw in some avocado. Delish!

    I've eaten them raw. Just cracked them open into a glass and slid them down my throat. Haven't done that in awhile.

    Eggs have been key to me losing almost 90 lbs. I try to limit myself to one yolk a day (most of what I have read still says more than that might be a problem), but I will have 4 whites with one whole egg a day. Eggs, greek yogurt, cottage cheese and lite string cheese are my 4 "secret weapons"!
