Question about cooking eggs

[ShayThor1989]

I eat 2 whole eggs plus 4 eggs whites almost every morning with whole wheat toast. My question is that I normally fry them with about 2/3 a tablespoon of vegetable oil. This contains about 90 cals that I don't want. Is there anyway to use something to lessen the calories and fat intake while still preventing the eggs from sticking to the pan?

HA....... wow.

i swear to god i was just about to go to bed, but i signed on to make THIS THREAD.

LOL, weird. repped.

but yea................... any other "healthy" alternatives to cooking eggs? (so they dont stick to pan. i eat mine sunny side up )

after im done cooking the eggs, i just dont see how all that oil all over them is healthy

[PTN_old]

get a better pan.. i don't use anything, i scramble mine on a non-stick frying pan and dont have any trouble.

my girlfriend uses this smart-balance cooking spray.. if i remember correctly it doesn't have any calories or very little and no carbs/fats/proteins. check it out, i'm not completely sure.. i just go bareback

You can cook them on non-stick or cast iron, but without oil/fat, they won't be "fried" eggs. Dry, or with a spritz of Pam, they'll cook fine and won't stick, but they won't be fried.

Get some EVOO -- Good fats.

Otherwise use a little bit of butter/margerine. You don't need much and it'll cook 'em up real nice. And there's certainly nothing wrong with using pam, either.

But if you're really looking to cut out that source of calories, just hard boil all of your eggs and eat them that way. It's all the same protein and almost as delicious!

microwave or boil

[eriksage]

teflon=win

worried about cooking with a bit of olive oil=fail

[Lemonzest]

Eat ya Yolks!!

[RachelBringIt]

i use a little pad of butter thats made with olive oil. Adds flavor, doesnt stick and adds fat to my breakfast.

[PhobosWebDev]

I would definitely use pam if you are looking for non stick but in the long run it might be beneficial to just go out and buy a non stick pan.

I would also eat your yolks as the protein in the yolk is more beneficial and easier digested than the white.

I thought most of the protein was in the egg white

[Jimspeed]

i stick 2 eggs in a bowl..a splash of skim milk..and stir it up.

cover the top.. microwave for like 2-3 minutes.. and it comes out nice.

I then scramble them up manually.. a little ketchup..and good to eat!

Just use a PAM spray, works fine

[thecreed]

The cooking sprays, like PAM, may say that they don't have any fat or calories, but its bs. They are allowed to claim that it is fat free if there is less than a certain amount PER SERVING (i think 0.5 grams). But a serving is way too little. Everytime you use it, its more like 5-8 servings.

so what? it's still trivial. Way less than you'd use pouring oil.

You can also just buy a spray can at a cooking store and pour oil into it.

That's unpossible!

[SpinFan]

PAD of butter? UNpossible? wha?

[Dr. Horse]

I was willing to overlook the "pad", but olive and butter are very different things.

[theognis1002]

Boil the eggs. yum.

[Holyspokes]

I use an olive oil spray, it makes it nice and evenly coated.

You could just hardboil/poach them if you aren't putting any thing in there with em.

Exactly.

[ShayThor1989]

Thanks guys for the responses. I'll look into PAM and a non-stick pan.

My new favorite method is poaching in the microwave. Nice and fast and requires minimal supervision.

Any cooking spray that has lecithin as an ingredient should work.

PAM PAM PAM...**** is great

[wrath_story]

i personally dont like the flavor of olive oil in my fried eggs. I use olive oil on just about anything else, but with eggs i stick with butter. and i know most people here are very anti-butter when it comes to counting up calories, but the flavor and taste of the eggs is delicious albeit a little greasy.

i too was thinking if i should cut the butter out of it, but problem is, olive oil, or vegetable oil just doesnt do it for me when it comes to eggs.

...its called PAM, a wonder of modern cooking

[-E-]

I use this brand, but the extra virgin olive oil one, stops the egg sticking to the pan but definately doesnt taste all that great, still good tho

Im just sayin what it says on the package
