[At_The_Gym]

I don't eat enough eggs. I'm going to start increasing my daily intake from today.

[sneakerfresh9]

raw eggs taste like the worst thing ever but cool article

[EvolutionSic]

love them, have 3 in the morning on whole wheat bread, and normally 3 before bed on whole wheat bread...

3 eggs in the morning, 6pac in the evening.

[Gift3d]

I eat eggs like Rocky

[Mamalakis]

they r gr8 love them

[mattseefood]

Great article! I have EGGS almost every day! They're a great and cheap protein source

[sibolovin]

I take em to work for snacks (Hardboiled) in case my next meal is a pinch too far away. Yolks the best part too - flavour and nutrient wise

eggs are awsome

ha ha yeah eggs definitely are awesome. They have a biological value of 100 (Which used to be the highest, until artificially made protein powders came in), high in protein and contain essential fatty acids which are great for muscle building and your heart. The yolk holds a lot of the goodness so don't cut too many out when making your egg white mix. Bodybuilding legend Vince Gironda used to advise that having 20 a day was as good as taking steroids

Great write-up.

If you love eggs you should see the video below. My kids beyond love it.



Warning: You will sing the song in your head all day after watching this.

I LOVE eggs ! I eat 6 to 8 jumbo sized eggs every morning.... but usually only 2 yolks. Not worried about the cholesterol, I just don't need that much fat.
As for the taste, whites are just fine, with some Smokehouse Maple seasoning, sugar free syrup, and a touch of season salt.

^ this, along with a cup of rolled oats, 3 or 4 oz scoop of peanut butter, a few splenda packets, and some more sugar free syrup, and Bam ! Breakfast of champions

Peace,

I'd have to dispute that. It has a greater chance of killing/inactivating salmonella, but it's not full proof.

2 articles i just dug out (probably the first article is more relevant as the salmonella people complain about getting from eating eggs is generally gastritis caused by salmonella enteriditis as opposed to typhoid fever from salmonella typhi):

Factors influencing inactivation of Salmonella enteritidis in hard-cooked eggs.

Abstract
The inside of a hen's egg, once considered sterile, is now known to occasionally harbor Salmonella Enteritidis. At least two recent outbreaks of salmonellosis in which Salmonella Enteritidis PT34 was involved have been associated with hard-cooked eggs. This study was undertaken to compare D56 degrees C values of Salmonella Senftenberg 775W and six strains of Salmonella Enteritidis isolated from outbreaks associated with eggs. D56 degrees C values for Salmonella Enteritidis in liquid egg yolk ranged from 5.14 to 7.39 min; the D56 degrees C value for Salmonella Senftenberg was 19.96 min. The two PT34 strains from outbreaks associated with hard-cooked eggs did not exhibit significantly higher resistance to heat compared with two PT4 strains and one strain each of PT8 and PT13a. A PT4 strain and a PT34 strain of Salmonella Enteritidis were separately inoculated (10(7) to 10(8) CFU) into the yolk of medium and extra large shell eggs at 10 and 21 degrees C, and survival was monitored using two cooking methods: (i) placing eggs in water at 23 degrees C, heating to 100 degrees C, removing from heat, and holding for 15 min (American Egg Board method) and (ii) placing eggs in water at 100 degrees C, then holding for 15 min at this temperature. Within the 15-min holding periods, inactivation was more rapid using the method recommended by the American Egg Board compared with method 2. Within each cooking method, inactivation was most rapid in medium eggs initially at 21 degrees C. The PT4 strain survived in yolk of extra large eggs initially at 10 degrees C when eggs were held in boiling water 9 min using method 2. The final temperature of the yolk in these eggs was 62.3 +/- 2 degrees C. Of the two methods evaluated for hard cooking eggs, the American Egg Board method is clearly most effective in killing Salmonella Enteritidis in the yolk.

Survival of Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus in eggs cooked by different methods.
Baker RC, Hogarty S, Poon W, Vadehra DV.

Abstract
Shell eggs inoculated with Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus were cooked by recommended procedures for boiling, poaching, and frying. Except for poaching, the recommended procedures were inadequate in destroying the inoculum placed in the yolk. Boiling for 7 min was necessary for complete destruction of S. typhimurium and it took 12 min of boiling to destroy Staph. aureus. Cooking time-temperature relationship for complete kill depended on the cooking method with fried eggs. Four minutes and 70 C were needed for covered eggs, 3 min on each side at 64 C for turned over eggs, while cooking for 7.5 min at 64 C for sunnyside eggs was not sufficient for destruction of both of the test organisms. None of the test organisms could be recovered from omelets baked by the recommended procedure (86 C for 25 min). Scrambling for 1 min at 74 C was required for the complete destruction of S. typhimurium and 2 min at 78 C for Staph. aureus.

Can never get enough eggs. I eat 6 whole eggs a day split in the morning/noon. During bulking phase, I'm up to 9 whole eggs a day split morning/noon/evening. It's either scrambled, hard-boiled or soft-boiled, where the yolk is part solid and runny. Egg's are my fave!

[Thorrrr]

4 Egg whites every morning = good day

[CalebRM]

10 every morning. 6 whole/4 whites.

Glenn Howerton eats raw eggs.

[rs63ic]

put some oats and hot sause in your eggwhites!!!!

[Tylamb]

I love eggs. For breakfest, I have 2 to 4 eggs scrambled mixed with Turkey spam and a bowl of Kaishi Go lean ceral with milk. Makes a great breakfest.

[yepimonfire]

how the fuuuck could someone stand to eat them raw? thats GROSS!!

[ValayonSharp]

Nowadays im eating 3 hard-boiled ones a day. I'm hesitant now to throw a hot dog link in the water because of all that sodium...but the protein...

Eggs are natures protein supplement. Takin a bite into that yolk straight from the steam, its great!

[quayleman33]

love eggs hate cooking them. takes to long hahah. eat a dozen everyday though 3 whole and the rest whites.

[NordicViking]

Its true in my experience as far as the blood cholesterol and diet cholesterol had full blood panel done 1 year apart and everything improved, I was eating anywhere from 4-8 or more eggs a day cause of Keto and convenience.(Generally I had them hard boiled, but if time was an issue, I had them raw in a glass so I could visually see to make sure nothing out of ordinary then down the pipe!)

As far as the Salmonella...I found this interesting piece.

The inside of an egg was once considered almost sterile. But, over recent years, the bacterium Salmonella enteritidis (Se) has been found inside a small number of eggs. Scientists estimate that, on average across the U.S., only 1 of every 20,000 eggs might contain the bacteria. So, the likelihood that an egg might contain Se is extremely small – 0.005% (five one-thousandths of one percent). At this rate, if you’re an average consumer, you might encounter a contaminated egg once every 84 years.

Im no mathematician, but above says average consumer, so im jus gonna say lets half the 84 years and we get 42 years...IMO if your pressed for time, eat it raw.(unfortunately they dont specify what average is, Im assuming 2-3 eggs is average)

Ive also read that you want to avoid letting the egg come in contact with the egg shell regarding salmonella.

As far as the bio availability or Raw vs Cooked is it a significant difference?(links etc if you have any)

#1 rule be sanitary and wash your hands ya filthy animals!

reps Confuzzl3dOn3, good posts.

If you eat on average 6 eggs a day it would take ~9 years. (20,000/365days/6eggs=9.1years) or to make it easier 54.8/eggs=years

Love my eggs sunny side up over my rice

[J_dog92]

I do 7 jumbo. 5 whites and 2 yolks but not without SALSA.

[ra2commando]

As a person who OD'd on eggs for about 1 yr to discover that I am now literally sick every time I eat them, I would only advise caution to everyone, as it is one of the most common allergens.

[ted123]

I'm actually allergic to eggs, is there anything i can have instead?

[Quirck]

Eggs FTMFW.

[JackNbone]

i love my eggs best thing going easy to cook eat GAINNNNNNNN
