Best way is to boil them and not risk getting salmonella and you don't need oil to fry them.

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!

 

[Chrisotpherm]

Thanks night. I am looking for the leanest but cost efficient way to do this. I have got to clean up my irresponsible diet. What do you think bout tuna consumption?

[Night_Wolf]

Well there is a lot of controversy regarding tuna - mercury. Like it can get to a toxic level in your body if u consume it too often, u know the story.
But than again, tuna is full of selenium and selenium removes mercury from your body, so is a tie and has no negative effect on you.

If is cost efficient to you, than go for it - 1-3 cans a day (3 cans is about 90g of protein) and you will be alright!

You can get a doezen eggs at the 99 cent store if you really want to go on the cheap.

I eat 6 whole eggs in the morning, fried with a spray oil. I have been cutting for the last three month and lost around 15 lbs of fat. Eat the yolks because it has very good nutrients. When I cut, I go high protein, high fat and low carb and it works wonder for me.

 

[Chrisotpherm]

Great information guys. I appreciate it a whole lot. I am going to give this go and reorganize my food intake and calories.

 

[GMO]

I always eat whole eggs whether bulking or cutting.

 

[Pika]

Yh bro i eat 4 eggs in the morning and 3 table spoons of oliv oil at the night with 200g of chicken ( eww i know ) its low cost bro im in college and i spend anround 60 pounds every 2 weeks thats around 80 dollers or so

It doesn't matter if you boil or scramble if you use Pam no calorie cooking spray which is what I do. Also, I have been struggling on my cut so I use 2 whole eggs and then 2 egg whites. If I am on a no carb day I'll throw half a can of tuna into my scrambled eggs while they are cooking. You would be amazed at how good it taste, especially if you throw in a little Mexican salsa.

 

[Chrisotpherm]

I appreciate it gents. Just not in the mood to spend tons of money on chicken and fish. I know eggs are good source of protein and I am really trying to keep lean now that I woke up out of my stupid eating slumber.

Liquid egg whites available in quart size cartons, they are pasturized and can be added to a whey shake with no taste really can bump the protein easy and fairly cheap.

I also eat 1 cup egg whites with two whole eggs scrambled tastes better than plain egg whites!

Eggs aren't as demonised as they once were so eat them, they're one of the best sources of protein around. Just don't fry, make sure you either boil, poach etc or make an omelet so you can add tons of vegetables too(mushrooms/peppers/onion) etc

Thanks, good info. Yep is the best way to go it seems for getting good lean protein for cheap.

I thought whole eggs from Egg-Land's brand are good, no?

Doesn't matter the brand, you are eating raw chicken when you eat a raw egg.

eggs pasturized in the shell


Liquid egg whites and egg beaters are pasturized also



Why Safest Choice™ Pasteurized Eggs?

When it comes to food safety, eggs are a food to take seriously. Salmonella bacteria in food cause more than 1 million illnesses, more than 19,000 hospitalizations, and 378 deaths in the US every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Among bacteria, Salmonella are the number-one cause of foodborne illness. Did you know that 4 out of 5 Salmonella foodborne illness (food poisoning) cases come from raw or undercooked eggs? As we've seen from egg recalls, this is because eggs can be contaminated with Salmonella on the farm. Safest Choice™ Pasteurized Eggs offer you the only FDA approved method to eliminate Salmonella in eggs.
As an added bonus, the Safest Choice™ egg pasteurization process eliminates other dangerous microbes like Avian flu virus.
When you prevent Salmonella from entering your kitchen, you eliminate the risk of spreading the bacteria to other foods though your ordinary food handling and surfaces like countertops, and cookware. Called cross contamination, spreading germs in the kitchen is one of the ways dangerous microbes like Salmonella that cause foodborne illness get into other foods and are a main cause of food poisoning, according to the CDC.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) calls these at-risk groups "highly susceptible". They are:

I have never seen pasteurized whole eggs. Egg whites are so boring.

 

[Chrisotpherm]

They are good if you make an omelete and put some salsa or seasoning salt on top. Good stuff.

I take 6 eggs mid morning, three with yolks, three without yolks, and poach them. I don't have any reason why I just do lol

 

[Digitalash]

About half the protein of an egg is in the yolk, and most of the nutrients. I'm not a big fan of the yolks hardboiled though so I usually scramble them, maybe add some cheese if I'm bulking.

I've heard salmonella from raw eggs comes from the outside of the shell though, you could probably drop them in boiling water for 20-30 seconds and then put the raw egg in a shake etc.

 

[Chrisotpherm]

I have heard this too not actually in the egg. I don't like boiled eggs at all so I just scramble them with salt and pepper and good to go from there. I believe you are more likely to get salmonella from peanut butter eggs IMO.

Eggs and yolks for me. Why waste the food?
I like mine boiled cause I can pack them and eat on the go. Best thing I started last December is 5-6 small meals. Still cheat on the weekends, but I will be tightening that down to 1 cheat per week.

When I do fry eggs I make them Sunnie side up with ground pepper and sprinkle flax seeds on top. Rocken! Throw in some Oats and bam!!!

 

[Dynasty92]

This thread makes me want to go make some eggs.

 

[squigader]

Scrambled eggs with a nice healthy oil if you are on a bulk. If on a cut, boiled definitely.
Chrisotpherm, have you tried soft-boiled? I really don't like hard-boiled that much, but softboiled is amazing! Give it a try.
