Eggs, Something for Dieters to Cackle About!

Why is that? Oh my - let us count the weighs!

They are super low in calories - about 50 for a small egg. The largest is still under 100 kcals!

Quick & Easy Ways to Prepare Eggs

If you enjoy sunny-side-up eggs, I have a wonderful tip that will give you perfect results every time. I spray my non-stick pan with cooking spray. Next, turn on the heat and when the cooking spray gets warm, add your egg.

When the whites go from clear to white, add about 1 Tablespoon of water to the pan, very carefully. Place the lid on top of the pan. My eggs generally take about a minute and a half to cook. I know when they are ready because the water basically evaporates amid the cooking.

There are times when I boil a dozen or more eggs. We eat them for snack time, bedtime, breakfast or anytime!

If a couple of days pass and there are still a lot left, I smash them, add dried dill, sweet pickle relish and light Mayo - and a very small dab of mustard to create a delicious egg salad that we enjoy with our favorite breads.

Sometimes we enjoy an egg sandwich. To prepared, simply ensure that the fried egg yolk is fully cooked. We spread our bread with light Mayo, add the egg and sprinkle with pepper and salt before enjoying.

Chicken Egg Controversy

For years we were told by health experts that the cholesterol content caused clogged arteries. The latest news is that this type of cholesterol isn't as deadly as once considered.

And they are rich in cholesterol. One large contains over 200 milligrams.

If you are on a restricted diet established by your doctor which limits cholesterol, get their professional advice before adding this lovely protein-rich food to your meal or snack plate.
