<p>I love scrambled, omelette or poached (I do fry them when I put one in a burger) one of our chickens supplies a double-yolker once a week, so it'd be rude to waste her efforts. </p>

Scrambled or omelette all the way for me. Although aren't we supposed to only eat the whites? Yolk has all the flavour as far as I'm concerned plus it seems a waste to throw it out, so I'll just have to put being a finely honed athlete on hold for now.</p></blockquote>
There's been concern over the years re eggs (specifically the yolk) being linked to high cholesterol but studies have actually shown that regularly eating eggs can actually lower your low density lipids (ie "bad" cholesterol) and raises high density lipids.<br><br>
Sure you are getting fats from the yolk so if want to avoid fats you could just go egg whites but for mere mortals like us, I wouldn't be too worried. Before cutting yolks (which actually have great nutritional value) you are better to eliminate all other more fatty foods ie anything fried.<br><br>
Some copy and paste re nutrional value of yolks... <br><br>
They contain 100% of the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K as well as all the carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin found in an egg. They also contain more than 90% of the calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, thiamin, folate, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. Compared to the yolk, the white doesnâ€
t bring much to the table in terms of nutrients. An egg white contains more protein than the yolk, but itâ€s only because the yolk is smaller. -
JK got it off the interweb, that's enough 'research' to keep me eating eggs. Not quite 15 a day but still....<br><br>
How do you guys poach them? I go for the lots of vinegar/salt approach and wait til the water is boiling. I also put them in the water very slowly and carefully. A big pan is a must as well when doing four at a time. Some folk go for the swirly water trick but that doesn't work well for me. -
<p>I have one of these</p>

Yeah mine is 32.</p></blockquote>
31 at the moment (180/100). <br><br>
Drop to 93kg to get to 28. That is sustainable, but still overweight apparently. I'd need to get to 81kg to be "normal". I'd be skeletal. And my oversized head would look even worse. -
30 eggs a day is obscene.<br><br>
I have 5 for breakfast, but I blend them together with protein powder. I then have that together with oats and raspberries. It's bloody delicious. -
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Weight 93.3 kg</p>

<p>Was at the Phillip Island International Classic so that was six days of eating and drinking well. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But as of this morning I'm 92 kg and my waist is 93 cm. Quite certain I'll make my goal easily. Starting to dream about abs...</p> -
<p>Progress has stalled this week. If I'm honest that's not surprising.</p>

<p>Well that will teach me, it's becoming harder now. Might do some swimming. That should burn some extra calories, particularly with my shithouse technique.</p>

<p>Played in a carnival on Saturday and I currently feel like I've been in a car accident. Had to drink a million beers because carrying around your own morphine is frowned upon. Still wandering around like a cripple today.</p>

Slow progress, yet progress none the less. Weight down to 91 even.

105 weeks on and after bacon and eggs this morning, I weighed in @ 90.6 kg
Now a concerted effort to get down to 85 which will be a more manageable weight to do the http://www.coasttocoast.co.nz/

Bump. Never got to 85, bulked up instead for the Masters Games. Now trying to get fit for Japan's Parliamentary Rugby World Cup and repairing a troublesome adductor tendinopathy.

Masters Games is a harder level than Parliamentary RWC in my experience.
PRWC involves less playing and more drinking. MG tends to involve being roped in as a sub for as many games going.
My only claim to fame rugby story is the one where I kicked the winning conversion against the Houses of Lords and Commons in 2003
