  • Are hard boiled eggs healthier than scrambled eggs?

    From Mike Dippel@999:1/1 to All on Tue Feb 10 21:37:44 2026
    Yes and no. Hard boiled eggs are slightly lower in fat than scrambled, but this is by only
    a small amount. There isn't really much in it.

    Eggs are extremely nutritious and healthy foods as long as you don't eat excessive
    amounts.

    There is no longer an upper limit on egg intake for healthy adults in the UK.

    Also, for those who eat 1-6 eggs a week, there is a reduction in death from all forms of
    illness. Therefore, eating 1 2 eggs daily is considered a good guide.

    If the eggs are being fried every time, then the over all fat content of the person's diet
    may start to become a concern and need looking at.

    Mike,

    Yes and no. Hard boiled eggs are slightly lower in fat than
    scrambled, but this is by only a small amount. There isn't
    really much in it.

    It's rare I have eggs anymore. At one time, there was this product
    called "Egg Beaters" that you poured out of a milk carton size deal
    into a pan (that you sprayed with "PAM" or had butter in it, and you
    could make scrambled eggs with. The deal here was either low or no
    cholesterol.

    I love hard boiled eggs in salads. Speaking of which, I ran into
    a deal on Facebook called GardenCup. While they have several
    varieties, they can be a bit pricey, but have several nutritious
    ingredients with them.

    Back to the eggs, I think of the hunters eating at the campsite,
    and the game warden approaches them. There is a sign that notes "NO
    POACHING ALLOWED", and the game warden wants to know how they are
    cooking their eggs. <G>

    In another case, at a restaurant, the waitress is asked if they
    serve poached eggs. Grinning wryly, she replies "No, sir. We get
    our eggs from legitimate chickens". <G>
