Random post. bkb is sleeping and I'm bored

I was surfing in H&F and they reminded me that hard boiled egg whites are a healthy snack. I ate the ALL the time while I was pregnant (craving protien much?). I'm going to do some egg boiling tonight when H gets home. Egg salad sandwiches here I come.

I really like hard-boiled eggs and egg salad sandwiches. Do you not eat the yoke though? What do you do with it? I like the whole thing

I really like egg salad sandwiches but eggs in general tend to make my stomach wonky

I like the whole hardboiled egg in the egg salad, but it's usually easier on my stomach to just eat the egg white and skip the yolk. Every so often though, if I'm really craving it, I'll make an egg salad sandwich. Eggs are so good for you! I wish I could eat them more.

I usually eat the yoke too. I don't care for it as much if they are hard boiled. I just know it is healthier if I don't. Not sure why.

As I understand it, the yolks are fattier and higher in cholesterol. They still have a lot of nutrients and are perfectly healthy to eat unless you have watch your cholesterol. It's fat, yes, but the good kind of fat.

Egg whites are pretty much just proteins and water. The egg yolk contains the fat in an egg (and other nutrients).
