Eggs ???

[Mgoody]

Is it ok to eat an egg everyday ??? I've got it in my head that too many are bad re cholesterol . Since swapping my dry granola ( high calorie) for brekky with a one egg omelette with low fat cheese and either toms or onion I'm really full till lunch time - from 07:30 to 13:00 ish wish is really good but just concerned whether it's ok to have each day ???

Thanks

Eggs are great protein but I would alternate with something else so you have them 3/4 times per week.Get the eggs with added omega too they are better for us.How about bacon and tomatoes,kippers,low fat sausage,beans on toast,toast and peanut butter,grilled mushrooms and low fat cheese.Fruit and yoghurt.Maz x

The advice always used to be limit eggs to six per week. But my understanding is that this has now changed, and no limit?

I used to love eggs now I really struggle with them. They just go straight threw me.

I tend to eat eggs on a regular basis (about 5 days a week) as they are good source of protein.

Normally boiled, but sometimes poached or in an omlette.

I hard boil 6 at a time and keep in my fridge.

I find they are also good to take out with me if I am walking,
I often slip a boiled egg in my pocket and a mini babybel light and a piece of fruit, (banana) and thats lunch sorted

All in their own wrapper so stay fresh and clean.

Hi Sarah.

So pleased you got your problem sorted and have now had a stretch. It must have been pretty scarey.

I'd certainly give eggs a go, but take it easy as I know one of the ladies on here (lamoramiss) juat can't tolerate them. We are all different

I'd try scrambled/very soft to start with

I LOVE my eggs now! ..

Before my bypass I could take em or leave em

A couple of my friends have now started to keep chickens so I get a good regular supply of fresh eggs and if any of my friends ask me to stay for lunch,, guess what I get... yeah a boiled egg... LOL (Lovely sliced, with a sliced tomato and salt & pepper Mmmmmmmm)

Hubby is still trying to persuade me to get a couple of chickens and a pen in the garden. Undecided about that though.

EGGS RULE !

Hi All,

Great tips and I too love eggs. Had to keep to 1-2 a weeks due to cholesterol probs before op but recently I had a sandwich of chopped egg and tomatoe and it was pure nectar. Have had salad with egg, scrambled egg and omelettes. Yummy x

Mmm, all this egg talk is tantalizing my taste buds lol x
