Regarding eggs
Posted on Thursday, March 27th, 2008 at 12:39 pmSo, I’m throwing this out to the Lazyweb. Please speak up if you have something to share; I need feedback on this.
As you all know by now, I’m on a low-carb diet. And one of the greatest things about low-carb is that you can eat eggs. In fact, you are encouraged to eat eggs. All the eggs you want. Jimmy Moore eats 2-3 dozen per week by his own estimate. They’re filling, they’re even good for you by anti-low-carb standards (well, most of them, see the Jimmy Moore link again). They raise HDL and lower LDL. Nothing wrong with eggs.
Except one thing. I can’t stand them.
Really, I hate eggs. I have tried to eat them fried, scrambled, omelette-ed, deviled, boiled, poached… about the one thing I haven’t tried is raw (I want to live, after all). I can’t stand egg rolls. I don’t like food that tastes like eggs. I don’t mind eggs in things (bread, cakes, and cookies, none of which are on the menu any more; some meatloaf and burgers use them, and that’s generally OK), but if something tastes like eggs, it’s right out.
And I am not one of those people who can eat something if I don’t like it. If I really don’t like the taste, then any attempt to actually eat it in any volume greater than one or two bites will result in catastrophe. I mean epic fail. Just ask my mom about the green beans. (Well, don’t.)
So, here is my question for you out there who happen to see this. How do you prepare eggs so that they really taste different? Is there some way that I can eat eggs without having to taste eggs, or am I doomed to life without them? I think it would be a big help to getting the calories in, and getting the nutrients I need, if I could just manage to get some eggs into my diet.
Please comment here, or comment somewhere else and leave me a link here.
