Eggs

Hi there, well I eat at least 14 boiled eggs every week, I also eat omelette and scrambled eggs at least once a week too. I've done this for almost a year now with no ill-effects. Eggs are very low carbohydrate and an excellent, nutritious food. Good luck!
 
Well, I like variety in my diet, so couldn't face eggs every day, but i consider them an excellent and nutritious food.

Thankfully that nonsense about eggs being baaad and unhealthy has been thoroughly debunked.
 
I would like variety too @Brunneria but unfortunately I suffer from another health problem which means that my diet is severely limited to just a few foods. I am VERY grateful for hens' eggs
 
I've definitely increased the amount of eggs in my diet since being diagnosed two years ago with no problems,I don't eat them every day but when stuck for meal ideas it's often something with eggs.
 
I love eggs anyway I can get. I eat two or three most weeks. If my bs is running a little high for some reason or another, eggs are very gentle on it. Usually lowers me a bit.
 
Eggs are awesome! Fill your boots with them.

For variety: line a ramekin with streaky bacon, crack and egg in it, salt and pepper and cheese on top then bake in the oven.

I nearly always have eggs for breakfast. Either scrambled, omelette or poached. Get some variety by chucking different veg into the omelette and get some veg in early in the day.
 
I love my eggs ate loads of them - but now I have developed an egg allergy so they are off the menu! I am devastated- silly I know but miss them so much - really craving my soft boiled egg and asparagus soldiers for brekkie

That's unfortunate, did the allergy just come about suddenly @lovinglife

I love eggs, probably eat at least 8 a week.

What about the cholesterol factor?

Our bodies make our cholesterol, or at least the vast majority of it, because every cell in our body needs it. Very little comes from the food we eat. That old rubbish about eggs and other foods containing cholesterol was debunked a long time ago. Thank goodness. We can all "go to work on an egg" like we used to be able to in the good old days.
 
To add to my post above, if we deprive ourselves of foods containing cholesterol our bodies will make up the difference, so we have the same amount floating about whether we eat eggs and the rest or not.

Over a couple of months probably - I noticed I always had a bit of a gripe in my tummy - rather like a hunger pain even though I wasn't hungry. Then I sort of started to associate it with after I had eggs so knocked them out for a couple of weeks and the pain went.

Tried some scrambled egg and pain came back but much worse - repeated the abstain then eat test and the same happened but the pain was even worse - spoke to GP and he said definitely sounded like an egg allergy and I could be tested - I seem to be ok if it's an ingredient like in Mayo but to eat them as eggs not so - not to keen to try them again as the pain got worse each time. I do miss them:(
 
Eggs are my go to when I just don't want to think about it or am too lazy to really cook. I keep a carton of boiled eggs in the fridge for grab and go. I also buy small cartons of liquid whole eggs for omelettes as I can just pour in the pan until it looks right. I like an extremely thin omelette with a bit of ham and cheese or veggies placed on a low carb wrap with mayo and rolled up.
