If you pre make your eggs for the week or even a couple days at a time. Will it be rubbery the next day or couple days? I'm starting a new job next week which has me getting up a lot earlier. I'm just trying to save some time in the morning if I can

I've never done it. I don't think I would eat eggs that were cooked several days ago, other than boiled eggs.
Should I just eat boiled eggs instead and take out the yolk? Also I've had boiled eggs with yolk taken out and filled with natty PB. I've only had 2-3 eggs like that at once though. I usually have 6-7 egg whites with two whole eggs in the morning. If I went the whole boiled egg with PB route. How many do you think I should have
Why would you take out the yolk? It's where all the healthy stuff is. The egg white is not nearly as beneficial. But yes, boil eggs for extended use. As for peanut butter... with eggs? Yuk! lol. But sure is healthy! I eat over a dozen eggs a day with yolks. Don't waste good food.
I was just under the impression that if you eat too much of the yolk, You will have high cholesterol.
Hey don't knock it unless you try it! I thought the same when I first saw someone have it.
Take out the yolk and fill with Peanut butter, tastes awesome.
ok dang it. I'll try it. But if I puke I'm coming after you! You're not eating 6 dozen a day. It wont be a concern. Even if it was, a little EFA's would combat that. You need the yolk.Quote:

Because they don't understand, never researched or never been taught about how important the yolk is. Same reason everyone thinks they need a million grams of protein. Or that they have to eat within 30 minutes after working out or the 'window of opportunity' is gone.Quote:

yolk has nutrients thatll be beneficial....it was thought that eatin eggs would raise ur cholesterol....but I recall seein something a few years back that said u could have 6-8 a day without affecting it
-Release the Kracken!!!-
I was talking about scrambling up like 3 doz and saving them for a few days. If had boiled eggs well over a week and still tasted fine. I was just worried that the scrambled eggs would get rubbery pretty fast if left in the fridge
natural peanut butter on toast, with a friend egg, runny yolk. Give that a try Aust, you'd be surprised how yummy it is!
I've ha that too. Good stuff! I think it's called dropped egg on toast. At least around here anywaysQuote:

Some ppl cut the yolk out due to a severe calorie restriction such as pre-contest diet but most ppl parrot off what's spread on the Internet about cholesterol. Dietary cholesterol does NOT equal serum cholesterol. When you eat more cholesterol in your diet your body produces less of it naturally, eat less cholesterol and your body produces more naturally. Cholesterol is not a valid reason to not eat the yolks unless again you have pre-existing conditions which necessitate lowering dietary cholesterol intake.
A healthy person shouldn't worry about cholesterol in eggs, blood cholesterol isn't directly impacted by dietary cholesterol anyways. Lifestyle plays a bigger factor, ie being inactive, smoking,drinking, eating shit food.Quote:

Eat dem eggs son!
I would rather make them fresh only takes a minute or 2. I'll eat hard boiled 3 or 4 days after I make them but thats it. I imagine scrambled would be rubbery if you tried to re heat them yuk!
Waste. You shouldn't throw away the most nutritious part of the egg. Would make more sense to eat less eggs and include something else to increase calories. 1 yolk is worth more than 1/2 a dozen egg whites.Quote:

reheating them is basically recooking them. if you dont mind them cold great, but other wise your better off just microwaving rather than reheating. unless you under cook them than reheat them- unsure how tasty THAT would be lol
if your looking for just ways to have quick eggwhites-Attachment 140572 i crack 3 into a micro plate (1.00 for 2 at dollar store) and cook for 40 sec every morning - super fast easy and easy clean up. i got this egg white separator cheep on amazon makes things even faster.
That's some excellent egg knowledge
I cook my eggs and stir in onions, red peppers, green peppers and spinach. Then mix it into my ground turkey meat. Of course ths is all scrambled wth spices. Keeps three to four days and is amazing popped in the micro. Put this into a corn tortilla and ur G2G.
When I first signed up to this forums back in 07-08. (Was on off and on until i forgot my login info and created this one) Everyone was saying If you eat the yolk. Your cholesterol is going to go sky high and it seemed at the time that everyone was dead set against eating the yolk. I guess times have changed and its fine and better for you. Since I was under the wrong impression , in going to start eating more yolks
^ yep.
Egg Yolk: Vitamin A, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Calcium, Folate, Omega 3, Selenium.
Egg White: None of the above. (or negligible amount).
I haven't looked at the rest of this thread in detail, but lately i've been buying cartons of 15 egg whites from my local supermarket. I've compared the price and it's 4pence more than buying a box of 15 free range eggs, so it's nothing.
I'm sure I could buy cartons of egg whites online for even cheaper if I buy in bulk.
If you dont want the hassle of breaking open eggs, beating them up, etc, then I might recommend this if you want something you can just pour straight into a shake or hot pan.
This is an eggcellent thread. ;)
You can pre-cook scrambeld egg as long as you dont mind them cold, reheated tastes awful. I would only keep them a day or two however.
And always cook your eggs! Cooked eggs are more nutritious than raw eggs. So those of you who like raw eggs because it's 'manly'... think again!

Just crack the eggs and put the egg whites in a container...Raw eggs be treated like any other raw meat...Quote:

Turn pan on high and in throw the egg whites in pan...Literally takes less then five minutes...All you got to do is your the egg whites into pan...Plus you can even season the egg whites in container...Then you literally have to do nothing...
Just pour in pan...
