Don't like egg?

Question

My Partner and i are starting a new healthy eating plan we found over the internet, i says to have an egg for snacks etc now my partner cant even stand the smell of eggs let alone eat one, was wondering if there was something else i could substitute for it? also how long do you boil an egg in hot water for to make it hard?( thats for me)

Answer 1

Eggs are very high in protein and natural fats. So, I think a great substitute would be natural unsalted variety of nuts. Not peanuts necessarily, but almonds, pecan, filberts, walnuts, and brazils. 1/2 a cup of varied unsalted nuts are a great high protein snack.
As far as your hard boiled eggs are concerned.
1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water.
2. Bring water to a rolling boil; immediately turn off heat. (Don’t let the eggs continue to boil. Sulfur compounds in the yolk turn an ugly shade of green when eggs are exposed to high heat.)
3. Cover the pan; let eggs stand in the hot water for 14 minutes (small eggs) to 17 minutes (extra large eggs).
4. Drain eggs and cool in ice water. Refrigerate hard-boiled eggs for up to one week.

I don't know everything, but I do know that eggs are high in cholesterol and I wouldn't recommend eating more than 4 a week. Just something my dietician told me.

First put eggs in pan of COLD water so they don't crack. Turn on heat , when they come to a full boil , time for 10 minutes. To peel easier,let set in hot water for at least another 10 minutes then slowly pour hot water off eggs in sink,then put cold water in pan and let set to cool. I usually pour off the cold water and make it colder again or you can just put ice water in it the first time. Then,drain and put on plate with dry paper towels.Crack on counter or table just a few times then gently roll it on table or in your hand. Also , really fresh eggs don't peel as well. Not,spoiled or anything, But don't worry I think they last pretty long ,I've never even seen a rotten egg. I just mean if you have a few left when you buy some more ,use the first ones first.Rinse with cold water to make sure there are no shells ,then put back on paper towels to dry. You can boil a whole pot at a time if your gonna be eating them that often. Keep refrigerated. About the substitution- peanut butter also has a lot of protein but may not fit in with diet cause the sugar ,fat ,etc. But there are reduced fat peanut butters and I think there's a low sodium one too. Other than that I have no idea! An egg is kinda hard to substitute with stuff. There is that powdered egg stuff I think you mix with water but of course that would just work for scrambled or omlet , I think it's called "Egg Beaters" . I never had it. I like real eggs . Hope ya find your answers.

Answer 3

start the egg is cold water, bring it to a boil. when it boils turn the heat off and leave it to sit for 10 min. done.

they could get protein (prob. what the diet has you eating the egg for) from grilled chicken breast, tuna, edamame (a super yummy snack), or cottage cheese.

Answer 4

you can boil egg in hot salt water for about ten to fifteen minutes in high flame. actually egg is rich in protein content, if your partner is a non-vegetarian he can opt for fish since it also has high protein content and omega-3 fatty acids which are also very essential for good health.If he is a veggi then you can go for spinach, and vegetables like bush beans which contain fibres.

egg beaters..i think its called, that fake egg stuff. my ex used to eat it. it came in a carton...i eat real eggs, but i would make those fake ones in a skillet with green peppers, onions, and mushrooms. he loved it.. i have never tried them. that and those eggs cooked and put on a dry bagel, with fresh tomatoes, and onions. he loved that too. they didnt smell like real eggs, to me i cant really explain the smell, the taste, was like nothing, just plain. but he liked them!!!!!
good luck!!! wish ya the best
