This is a thread about eggs. Benifits, downsides, risks. Scrambled, poached, raw. Everything.

As with all popular foods, there's alot of conflicting information with regards to how digestible or useful eggs are in their many states. What stance does /fit/ take? How vital are they to your diet, and how do you eat them?

dunno about dietary benefits, but i love me some scrambled w/ cheese, or omelette w/ mushroom & swiss

Not at all vital. I don't eat them because they taste bad.

I eat 3 every morning, usually fried in walnut oil. Sometimes others later in the day, hardboiled. They are awesome and I enjoy them w/o any worries or complaints. As should you.

I imagine the best way to eat them would be soft boiled, as then none of the nutrients escape, they taste nice, you can dip bread in them and also they are cooked so you wont get food poisoning.

Well, digg in :

"In conclusion, what did we learn from the most recent research?

* Eggs are among the most nutritious foods around. They are affordable and provide high quality protein plus several essential nutrients.
* A large egg contains virtually no trans fatty acids and only 1.5 g of saturated fat. It is these types of fats which, when consumed in excessive quantities, increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
* Cholesterol which comes from the diet, or from eggs in particular, does not influence cardiovascular risk in the majority of people.
* Research has shown that healthy individuals can eat up to 7 eggs a week, in contrast to the current consumption, which is only 3.5."

I have an omelet everyday. I usually cook it in about a tsp of olive oil. I use light meat, like today I made it with yogurt, chives, and salmon. Is this bad for me if I'm trying to lose weight? The protein benefit is awesome though.

I can't find a definite amount of how many calories is in a two egg omelet. It ranges from 150 to 800 on the interwebs. I'm making mine pretty damn healthy with extreme minimums of anything with fat.

When I'm out of cereal (I love me some Basic4 with a banana in it), I break two eggs and make em over easy. The kicker? They're whites. Yolk tastes gross now.

That meal is very very good for you if you are trying to lose weight. It is healthy and tasty, full of protein and healthy fat and nutrients, not too high-cal, and what more could you want?

Btw, when I said eggs cause cancer, I was trolling.

I eat four eggs in the morning on week days, but only one yolk.

Thus, 24 grams of protein.

I eat 2 fried egg sandwiches for lunch every day and I haven't died yet. I love them, especially because they're so cheap.

when I found out protein came from the whites I was happy. My mom always lied and said it came from the yolk so I would eat the whole thing and not be picky.
AHA!

OP here. Good to establish something so groundbreaking: /fit/ loev eggs.

But I bump this thread to pose a new question. General consensus says that protein, particularly in the white, is less available to the body when eggs are consumed raw. There's also the obvious risk of salmonella. Yet there are plenty of articles out there still praising the benefits.

What do you make of this?

Raw eggs are for people who live in the 60's and 70's. No reason to eat them at all, unless you love the taste (the risk of salmonella is very low for healthy adults).

why not eat the yolks?
unless you plan on eating 10 eggs per day (or you don't like their taste), there is nothing wrong with yolks

I fucking love eggs, but my brother says I'd be better off with Egg Beaters. Is he right?

Cholesterol is safe to eat, but oxidized cholesterol is not. Egg yolks should be lightly cooked if at all. Lightly cooked eggs also taste better.

raw eggs and sugar stirred together is delicious

Then add some seasonings and cheese, fry it in a pan using cooking spray and enjoy.

IIRC raw eggs yield only 5 grams of usable protein while cooked eggs yield 8 grams. Something about cooking the eggs makes protein more available for your body.

Fuck yeah, scrambled eggs with lotsa salt and pepper. Only problem is it's relatively hard to clean the pan afterwards :\

I used to hate eating eggs so damn much. For as long as I could remember I'd always refuse to eat scrambled eggs or omlets or poached eggs that my parents would make for breakfast. Then I went to college. Apparently, I like fried eggs. I eat 2 over-hard probably 3 times a week now.

Over easy eggs are awesome. I like to dip my toast into the runny yolk. Eggs are great with salt but I've been watching my salt intake so no added salt for me :(

gotta use oil to cook scramble eggs, even on a teflon pan. They have the ungodly ability to stick
