Would boiling eggs take away some of the nutrition? I was thinking about eatine about 3 boiled eggs for breakfast with some salt pepper to spice it up a lil. Has anybody tried it?

naw man, i eat boiled eggs every day. ive been eating six or seven boiled whites with one or two yolks.

personally i'm a fan of boiled eggs w/ lunch.

I can think of no reason why they would lose any nutritional value since they are boiled?

Boiled Eggs are one of the most convenient sources of protein. Nothin' wrong with boiling 'em... This helps to make the proteins easier to digest. If I make boiled eggs, I usually slam back 8 eggs whites in a sitting, keeping half of the yolks to eat.

Best way to do it J. I personally hate eggs period, but I hate them less when they are boiled. If you are cutting, just toss out the yolks and you are good to go.

Boiled eggs are the way to go. They can keep well for a few hours without refrigeration (i.e. take them out of the frige at 6am and eat by 1-2pm). Except for the shells there isn't much mess and it's an excellent source of protein.

One mass gaining secret Wrath clued me in on was adding 4 hard boiled eggs to the end of every meal... Eating 16-20 eggs a day on top of your regular diet will put some size on ya in short order. Peace, G

That seems to be a awesome ploy G!! I have a question; I concentrate my egg whites consume in two different meals (12 whites per meal) should I reduce from those 24 egg whites and distribute them for the other meals, our I should keep 2 meals with 12 egg whites and more 4 egg whites for the other meals?

man that is a lot of eggs in a day o.O
i normally just eat around 4-5 hard boiled eggs, throw away the yolks since its dry, not my favorite and eat it with a dash of salt.
nothing like a good ol' egg to start the day off.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I have read that eggs are more bioavaliable than any other food. I think that means that you use more protein from eggs than anything else. Some meats like pork I think loose a lot of the protein in the digestion process

yer eggs are the daddy of protein, the only nutritional change when boiling eggs is to do with the carbon structure of the fat and basically changes it from unsaturated to saturated fats, but is the same with all fats, so just toss half the yolks and chuck em down.

MY favorite bodybuilder meal and probably my most healthy is 4-5 hardboiled eggs, oatmeal milk and fruit. Its my understanding you have to cook the egg whether boiling or frying so make the protein so bioavailable

Don't microwave boiled eggs. It kills off the protein in the egg (or at least part of it). Just make scrambled egg with milk and microwave that instead!

Don't do it. It's possible to get salmonila. Also it tastes like crap just eat them cooked and you'll be okay.

boiled eggs are the best natural protein source , better than fried ones, the best way to get food most nutritional value is to cook on water-vapour, food used with high temperature is loseing protein , frying loses the most.

Maestro

I've heard from numerous sources that the human body can not absorb the amino acids in raw eggs for some reason. I cant exactly remember why but boiling eggs is so easy and much less painful to eat so why not just take 20 minutes and spare your gut.


And do not microwave a boiled egg, it explodes and makes a huge mess.

Are you asking if the nutritional value is the same for hard boiled eggs as it would be for scrambled eggs or something?

yea pretty much. just wondering if the way they're cooked changes the nutrition at all.

sorry for not being clear. i now notice that

Fury317
03-26-08, 10:36 am
No there really isnt any difference. The cooking process denatures the protein in the egg which is why it turns white. Basically the proteins are uncoiling, and it doesnt matter how you cook them, becuase it happens either way. Hope this helps.

BTW, you from toledo? Im a toledo native myself.

Actually, cooking eggs makes them more bioavailable than raw eggs. Something to do with avidin (a protein found in eggs) binding with biotin, making it hard to absorb by our body when they're raw. Cooking them releases the bond making them more readily available.

Raw eggs are only about 51% bio-available, where as cooked eggs are about 91% bio-available.

I had 12 hard boiled COLORED eggs that me and my family colored for Easter...and last night I fixed some HEALTHY deviled eggs with them...they r quite tasty (eating them now)...and Im def. fixing some more tomorrow...cuz its easier to get rid of the yolk and keep the white instead of trying to scramble them or something...

I'm glad someone brought up hard-boiled eggs, gotta question here: Is there a way to prepare them so the shells aren't impossible to get off? I'm eat hard boiled eggs everyday, and I'm asking cause it is so fuckin frustrating when the egg rips half of the white off when I peel it.

Ok...here ya go...

Boil your eggs for 3 minutes...but as they boil..."roll them" with a long spoon or something...just keep them moving the whole time.

Then, let them sit in the water for 12 minutes....thats how I did it last night and only had trouble with one egg.

Add salt to your water too...a fairly good amount...does something to help the peeling process...my mamaw taught me that

i had that problem this morning when eating mine.

took me seriously about 5 minutes to peel it while trying to save the egg white

I've noticed when I heat them up and they're a little moist the shell is MUCH easier to get off.

bring water to a rapid boil...
cover pot...turn off heat..leave on top of cooling burner though
let sit 15 min on burner
after 15 min of "Stewing" place egg immediately into cold water, until shell is cool enough to handle, peel immediatley at this point.

How do you keep your cholesterol down when eating so many eggs?

Don't worry about cholesterol... as long as you're wating fruits, vegetables, training hard, the cholesterol you consume will help raise test levels.... (heard this from some sources...) Dietary cholesterol is necessary and if you're training like you sould be, then it should help you out. Make sure to also get in healthy fats as they will keep cholesterol in check...


Personally, I hate hard boiled eggs because I can't stand the taste... I just cook mine in the pan with heated oil or PAM and cook them until they're nice and golden brown, have them over easy and put them on rice with ketchup... real tasty, for me, at least.....

I figured it would be better to continue this thread/discussion rather than starting a new one with the same topic and what not..

So my question..
I boil my eggs (4-5) the night before and eat them at my desk while at work...I was worried if that would be a mistake in doing so?
Also, is there a way to warm up the eggs? Like a microwave? or Is it best for me to put the Boiling Hot water from my the Water cooler from work? And allow it to sit for 10 minutes or so?

You help/advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I am not 100% sure what you are asking here but I boil up a big batch of eggs Sunday to have throughout the week and there is no problem doing that.

I'm sorry, let me see if I can clarify...

My main concerns are:
1 - Is it okay If I boil eggs the night before I am going to eat them?
2 - If, that is okay...how would I eat them the next day? Should I heat them up in a microwave? Should I allow them to sit in boiling hot water for 10minutes or so? Or should I just eat them as-is?

I just want to make sure that I am not going to get sick or what not from boiling them, let us say Sunday night, and then eating them on Monday morning.

How do you do your routine? Of boiling a batch on Sunday and eating them throughout the week? How do you eat them, during the week?

Put them in the fridge after you boil them. No need to reheat them at all, they are usually eaten cold anyways. Most of the time people boil a dozen or more eggs and eat them throughout days or a week, so there is no problem boiling them just one night before.

boil them and then put them in the fridge. they will be good for several days. in fact i am boiling 36 eggs right now and they will last me until breakfast thursday morning. i see no problems with letting them sit in the fridge 3-4 days. if you go too much more than that then maybe they will go bad but for a few days you are good to go.

How long do you let the eggs boil when you are doing that many at a time? I usually let them boil for 10 mins or so...but I only do a few at a time. Does it matter?

Also do you guys peel your eggs after you boil them and cool them off? Or do you leave the peel on until you are ready to eat them? Does putting them in the fridge peeled or unpeeled affect how long they will last?

my personal way of doing it that hasnt failed me yet (i boil 1 dozen a day - 6 eggs in morning and last meal). once boiling i let them go for 8-10 minutes and then dump the hot water out and put in cool water and then i start peeling them right away. after i get them all peeled i let them sit out for 5-10 minutes so they arent steaming and then i put them in my fridge. this is just my way of doing it so take it FWIW.

Cool tha man. How long do they last in the fridge after you peel them.

I usually peel them as I eat them...and they last for about 5 days...wasnt sure if they go bad faster once they are peeled

you're kidding? eggs are great even after 30 hrs of seating on the table, trust me - just try'em and let me know , but I doubt you'll see any difference... it takes several days (like at least 2-3) for them to start tasting (and smelling) funny

microwave should be ok - after you removed the egg shell

Couple of questions for the egg eaters here:

1. Every so often I cook a dozen that has a slight "rotten egg" sulfur smell. Any tips on how to avoid this, or is it just a bad batch?

2. Do you guys buy the designer eggs (you know: "Omega 3", "Free Range", "Egglands Best", etc) or just the cheap generic grocery store eggs?

Thanks.

1. hmmmm i thought all eggs smelled like ass haha.

2. Shit I buy whatever is on sale...lately Kroger around my area has a dozen for $.99 so i have been stocking up like mad on those. Other than taht I just buy the 2 dozen cartons at Meijer or buy the 7.5 dozen huge carts at Sam's Club...go where the deal is for the economic savvy bodybuilder.

its a type of food poisoning, but i eat em raw, i crak 1 or 2 straight into my shaker with my whey/milk/water. skake the hell outa it, the slam it down the hatch.

Q. How do people get salmonellosis?
A. Salmonella lives in the intestinal track of humans and other animals, including birds. Salmonella is usually transmitted to humans by eating foods contaminated with animal feces. Salmonella present on raw meat and poultry could survive if the product is not cooked to a safe minimum internal temperature, as measured with a food thermometer.

Salmonella can also cause foodborne illness (salmonellosis) through cross-contamination, e.g., when juices from raw meat or poultry come in contact with ready-to-eat foods, such as salads.

Food may also become contaminated by the unwashed hands of an infected food handler. Salmonella can also be found in the feces of some pets, especially those with diarrhea. People can become infected if they do not wash their hands after contact with these feces. Reptiles are particularly likely to harbor Salmonella. People should always wash their hands immediately after handling a reptile, even if the reptile is healthy.

you dont get it from the inside (white/yolk) of the egg it would seem. it would have to be present on the shell or somewhere else.
