Okay im not a big fan of eggs i don't like how scrambled eggs taste in my mouth, and the only egg ill order if i'm out to eat is sunny side up, but i don't think frying the egg is the BEST idea out there, so i need alternatives so i can get the great protein from eggs, i really want to try, after i defeat this egg terror ill conquer oatmeal BAH!
 
So don't eat eggs! They arn't exactly the healthiest food on the market anyways. They are very high in cholesterol also.

If you concerned about protein, there are TONS of foods you can eat instead....

Beans (including soy)
•Tofu, ½ cup 20 grams protein
•Tofu, 1 oz, 2.3 grams
•Soy milk, 1 cup - 6 -10 grams
•Most beans (black, pinto, lentils, etc) about 7-10 grams protein per half cup of cooked beans
•Soy beans, ½ cup cooked – 14 grams protein
•Split peas, ½ cup cooked – 8 grams

Nuts and Seeds
•Peanut butter, 2 Tablespoons - 8 grams protein
•Almonds, ¼ cup – 8 grams
•Peanuts, ¼ cup – 9 grams
•Cashews, ¼ cup – 5 grams
•Pecans, ¼ cup – 2.5 grams
•Sunflower seeds, ¼ cup – 6 grams
•Pumpkin seeds, ¼ cup – 8 grams
•Flax seeds – ¼ cup – 8 grams

Eggs and Dairy
•Egg, large - 6 grams protein
•Milk, 1 cup - 8 grams
•Cottage cheese, ½ cup - 15 grams
•Yogurt, 1 cup – usually 8-12 grams, check label
•Soft cheeses (Mozzarella, Brie, Camembert) – 6 grams per oz
•Medium cheeses (Cheddar, Swiss) – 7 or 8 grams per oz
•Hard cheeses (Parmesan) – 10 grams per oz

Beef

•Chicken breast, 3.5 oz - 30 grams protein
•Chicken thigh – 10 grams (for average size)
•Drumstick – 11 grams
•Wing – 6 grams
•Chicken meat, cooked, 4 oz – 35 grams

Fish
•Most fish fillets or steaks are about 22 grams of protein for 3 ½ oz (100 grams) of cooked fish, or 6 grams per ounce

•Bacon, 1 slice – 3 grams
•Canadian-style bacon (back bacon), slice – 5 – 6 grams
 
How do you feel about deviled eggs? I can eat those like crazy...

Also if fried is okay, what about poached or basted? They're cooked in water so without all the oil when they do that!

And of course there are custards, which you could probably make with fake sugar ;) Also macaroons (I think those are the ones) are cookies made from egg whites and sugar...
 
First of all, there have been plenty of studies that suggest that eating eggs is great for you, and that dietary cholesterol has little or no connection with blood cholesterol. I think that by this point, most docs wouldn't recommend against an egg or 2 a day, although I hear you should try to keep it to under 5 a week?
Anyway, I feel like you're giving the fried egg a bad rap because it's called fried. What if you thought of them as sautéed instead? The amount of butter or oil that goes into cooking an egg should be very little, so don't worry about it! Eat your eggs sunny side up and reap the benefits!
 
The main point of my post, above...was that if someone doestn' like a certain food, they shouldn't feel like they HAVE to eat it anyways. There ARE other options out there.
 
I certainly agree that no one should have to eat a particular food - however, I've also seen people learn to like foods. After 40+ years my husband finally found a way to eat the 'vile weed' AKA broccoli that he could tolerate. And now he can handle 'lesser' preparation methods for it too.

And Toddless, you're right! I probably saw them on Top Chef or something and figured they were just pronouncing macaroon kind of oddly ;)
 
LOL I don't eat eggs or oatmeal. Yuck to both! If you don't like them, don't eat them. There are plenty of alternatives.
 
You don't *like* eggs or your afraid of eggs? your post isn't clear. Personally there are only a limited amount of calories you can take in every day, why eat foods you don't like, I wouldn't! Stick with what your OK with, unless its a fear your trying to conquor and want to do this because its a phobia, but otherwise there really is little reason to chose to eat an egg.

Stick to the list kindly written above for you, you will easily get enough protein from that. I don't eat eggs, I like eggs but cannot afford them. I eat other protein foods which get me my requirement with ease-it can be done.

So just eat eggs that aren't scrambled- theres no shame in not eating scrambled eggs! I don't eat many things for various reasons, its not something I feel I need to alter as I get my nutrition from those omitted items elsewhere. Being over 18 it is my choice what I eat and this is why I see there being no issue in not eating certain foods, so long as my body has its nutritional balance maintained.

I don't think it would be hard to never eat scrambled eggs again if this is not something you get on with.
 
I'm not generally a fan of scrambled eggs either. Something about the texture just doesn't do it for me.

However, I think they are great for the morning and an excellent protein source.

What I do is make my own little healthy version of a breakfast sandwhich - I use a mini whole grain pita and stuff in some egg (When I'm running late I cook the egg in the microwave), light cheese and a tiny bit of light mayo, and it is delicious! You can add lettuce, peppers, anything you want. It really gets me going in the morning and I find the eggs tasty in this way. Give it a try. :)
