scrambled eggs

[shiznit2169]

Is it ok to spray pam on the pan, crack open the eggs (2-4) and just stir it until it's cooked? Like, i wonder if this is any different than egg whites and still has sufficient protein?

Thanks

What do you mean "if this is any different than egg whites"? Are you not using eggs?

2-4 eggs = 2 to 4 whole eggs right?
And you are not seperating the egg right?
So each egg still has a white and a yolk?
Then that will mean 2 to 4 whites + 2 to 4 yolks
And 1 whole egg is ~7g protein, 5g fat
So it means you will be getting 14-28g protein and 5-20g fat (depending on numbers).

Yes it is different to egg whites - you are cooking the whole egg and not just the white - and therefore you are getting all the good stuff in the yolk as well (vitamins, minerals etc) but you are also getting a lot more fat and calories (5g of fat per yolk and therefore an extra 54 cals per yolk).

But, as long as the eggs are cooked sufficiently you will still be getting protein...

thanks emma, i keep getting confused between egg whites and whole eggs. Yes, i cooked 4 whole eggs and ate it all. To get rid of the yolk, i would have to boil it and then peel it off to eat the white part only am i right? This is mainly for cutting too right? So how long do i boil them for? Can i eat them after or do i have to refigerate it...give me the scoop.

Also, i heard a lot of people find it disgusting when they eat the egg whites after boiling it.

Yes - the white is the 'white bit' and the yolk is the yellow bit... But you can also seperate them before you cook them. Crack the egg on the side of a bowl and then, holding the egg over a bowl use the two halves of the shell to pass the yolk back and forth letting the clear stuff (uncooked white) run out between the halves into the bowl. Then you can just use that to cook (eg: scramble up alone, add to protein pancakes etc).

Both cutting and bulking.

So how long do i boil them for?

But them in room temp water.
Slowly bring to the boil.
Boil for 7-10 minutes.
Put them into cold water/run them under cold water to cool.

You do not have to eat them immediately. Simply let them cool and then put them into an airtight container - You can then refridgerate them for a few days.

Also, i heard a lot of people find it disgusting when they eat the egg whites after boiling it.

Well - I think that is a matter of personal taste! I don't mind it!
