Fried eggs..good or not?

[ryannath]

Say for breakfeast, I fry and eat four eggs..are fried eggs healthy to eat when bulking, or are there other ways to cook them that are healtier?

 

[KarmaSutra]

I fvcking hate boiled or poached eggs and always eat them fried in butter or eat them scrambled. I grew up with fried eggs and bologna with toast.

Christ, now I'm starving . . .

Alton Brown says unsalted butter is vastly superior for your health than margarine or "low fat" substitutes.

fried eggs are fine; scrambled are good, too. some big guys still swear by raw eggs.....

yeh, if you're going to fry eggs, use anything that's transfat free and you'll be fine, it's not like there's that much grease involved.

One thing about eggs that freaks me out is when I bust the shell and pour the egg into the skillet, and I see what white gooey stuff, I always think that white stuff looks like chicken sperm. Does anyone know if it is sperm or not? I'd love to be proven that's it's not, so it wouldn't freak me out. I'm not joking, so don't laugh.

It's not, the albumin is pretty much just straight protein for the chick to assemble it's body from. Most eggs come from farms where the hens don't get knocked up. So the egg is more like a chicken menstration. Tasty

 

[Charm&Style]

instead of the butter use some olive oil.


:yes: on healthy cholstrol

 

[THE_ADDMAN]

oh come on, little fried never killed anyone.

fat is important too, like protein.

If you're eating eggs every day, I'd suggest you switch to "Egg-Beaters" or onother whole egg alternative. Four eggs aday, every day can put a lot of cholesterol in your system. At 21 it won't effect you much, but in 20 years it will screw up your heart!

I also agree with Karma Sutra that butter is better for you than any of that fake crap.

la la la la la dietary cholesterol is irrelevant to blood serum cholesterol levels la la la la la

* this message brought to you by people tired of hearing about how much cholesterol is in eggs. it is absolutely, utterly irrelevant to your heart health.

Plus butter is high in vitamin A, an essential vitamin for putting on muscle.

let's suppose there's a strong non-hereditary component to "cholesterol levels" (a huge misnomer) and that what people call "cholesterol levels" actually are important for heart health (simon would dispute this, along with the late dr. atkins and others). dietary cholesterol has no impact on what people call "cholesterol levels" because what they really mean are the concentrations of cholesterol-binding lipids (LDL & HDL) that carry cholesterol through the bloodstream. the amount of dietary cholesterol you consume has no bearing on either one.
