Thread: Egg whites, eggs with yolks, boiled or scrambeled

Chrisotpherm, have you tried soft-boiled? I really don't like hard-boiled that much, but softboiled is amazing! Give it a try.

No bro, never tried or heard this man. Explain if you don't mind?

To the last post, just can't seem to get past the texture of a raw egg as I digest them. It is interesting to read how boiling or cooking breaks or takes away from an eggs overall nutrients value.

Non stick pan, little bit of olive oil, 3 whole eggs , season with salt, cayenne pepper and herbs, keep the heat moderate and stick a lid on. Eggs for breakfast everyday.

@essential
Use sunflower oil instead of olive oil, it has higher smoking point.

@WeightLossJames
I would rather boil eggs and avoid getting salmonella, lye in the hospital for 2 months and lose 45 lbs.

with yolk, dont be a pusscake. Just crack cook and enjoy.

Lol, good debate on eggs!

Since I have decided to cut a little weight, I cut back from 8 eggs for breakfast to 4, I eat yolk and whites!

I always boil them, that way I can only eat the whites and not the yolks.

I guess it's all how you like to eat them. I am not s huge fan of boiled. Have to have something with them.

I like to go heavy on eggs for a while, then partially substitute, with a plant based protein, black beans/almonds, then I go to milk based proteins like cottage cheese. This rounds out my protein intake and provides changing sources so that my body reacts to them nicely. But I am thin and don't get negative impacts from upping carbs and such. Hope that helps

Yeah, the biochemistry behind cooking eggs is actually pretty interesting - hard to believe that cooking them increases nutritional value.
But anywho, I absolutely dislike hardboiled. Softboiled though is amazing, and I can eat them that way.



Instructions
1) Bring water (enough to cover eggs fully) to a light boil (not crazy bubbling where it's jumping everywhere, but a light boil where the water is making plenty of bubbles and steam).
2) Put in eggs slowly so they don't crack.
3) Wait exactly 7 minutes (time this). The water should be lightly boiling.
4) Take the eggs out and run them under cold water. Eat them then or save them for later (I like to make 9 or 10 and then stick them in the fridge in a container to have enough for the next few days).

All you have to do is peel the skin and eat. Goes good with pepper/hot sauce or plain. Try them, I guarantee you'll like them. You can use less time to get them softer, or more time to get them slightly thicker/harder. I would start at 7 minutes the first time and adjust 30 seconds more or less for subsequent times.

Those look amazing!!!!

Hey Night Wolf,
thanks for the tip but I'm not so sure, I always use a low to moderate heat, so the oil never gets too hot.

Sunflower oil is about two-thirds polyunsaturated fat and is therefore much more prone to damage from heat and light than olive oil, which is about 75% monounsaturated, add to that that most commercial sunflower oils are heat extracted and bottled in plastic, I'm using extra virgin olive oil cold pressed.
Sunflower oil is also heavy on the omega 6's and I really think the high omega 3 content of extra virgin olive oil make's it superior, but that's just me, (I really do have a bit of a polyunsaturated oil phobia lol)

I got the suggestions below from some website re: healthy fats etc


For high temperature cooking

• Coconut oil
• Rice Bran oil
• Clarified Butter
• Sesame Oil

For moderate temperature cooking

• Olive oil
• Butter
• Coconut oil

For salad dressings, dips, spreads

• Olive oil
• Flaxseed oil
• Walnut oil
• Avocado oil

Avoid the yolk part as it contain a lots of cholesterol. And could gain your fat. So just avoid it while eating.

I prefer them scrambled with a piece of butter.When cutting though - it's better to boil them

I hear you. I usually don't have much time in the morning so u throw about 5 eggs in a glass bowl, scrambling, nuke them in the microwave, little ketchup and hot sauce and good to go!

I eat eggs all the time. The one food that I don't get sick of. Chicken I need to start liking again-mustard or plain just doesn't cut it anymore.

when cutting, i like to seperate the yolks and put the whites in boiling water, and the egg white hold some water so the egg gets bigger in volume....

Yeah thats my route with eggs when I bet out of combatives. I want to clean my diet up even more by eating egg whites.


God Bless

Hi dear,
Eggs white and eggs yolk both are beneficial for the health.
Eggs yolk has more energy and calories for the body. I eat both white and yolk of the eggs, in boiled form and scrambled form.

I buy 7 and a half dozen eggs every week and a half 2 weeks from a bulk grocery store buy my house. All I can say get creative there are a lot of different ways to cook eggs and stay with in a budget. I mix eggs with everything and I only eat about 20 to 25 carbs a day and no sugar, just what is found in natural veggies, bulk up on the greens too they are cheap. Good Luck bro

If you are bulking (and you are) than you can eat 4-5 yolks a day and not worry. You need cholesterol from yolks since every hormone in your body synthesize from it. And don't worry about yolks is a myth!

Why the restriction, blood serum cholesterol has no scientific link to heart disease or clogged arteries

And there is absolutely no link to any disease mechanism and the ingestion of saturated fat and cholesterol

Old school body builders (pre drugs) would consume gallons of full fat milk dozens of eggs and a lot of liver ( cholesterol filled organ meet) and they had life expectancies 30 years longer than the pro body builders of today

very true
Polyunsaturated vegetable oils oxidize when heated, good post

Any comment?

I just can't get past the taste and texture of boiled eggs. Something about the above makes not able to eat them this way. I know when I cut I am going to go with mostly egg whites.


God Bless

Wow that is a lot of gas. Lol. I am already giving birth to babies when i poop. Lol.
