Hey everyone, I am raising chickens for an FFA project, and I am selling the eggs (At the time, I have baby chicks and they wont be laying for 5 months) But I am sure I will have a surplus of eggs that I dont sell. Can anyone tell me some healthy ways to use eggs?

Eggs are healthy!

I eat them every weekend (only cuz it takes more time than I have in the morning on weekdays).

Breakfast, baking, even dinner.

I agree! I use them a lot also!!! The ARE healthy!

I eat as many as 6-9 egg whites per day. I put them in my shakes, I whip them with oatmeal to make pancakes or just custard type cereal.
They are an awesomely wonderful form of fat free protein!

I eat them almost daily, because I am on Atkins and it doesn't allow for hardly any other breakfast food. I boil them, scramble them, make crustless quiche, omelets, egg salad , deviled eggs. They are a great source of protein, have few calories and low-fat and low-carb. Work well on most any healthy eating plan.

keep in mid the average egg yolk contains over two-thirds (213 mg) the recommended daily allowance (300 mg) of cholesterol.
A Doctor told my Dad that there is limit to how many he should eat aweek, because they arent great for the coronary system, but hopefully that is only the yolk part?
plus I have found pieces online that say eggs have no adverse effect

Well, that's because they say that the cholesterol in food doesn't affect blood cholesterol levels as much as saturated fat does.

For example, shellfish is high in cholesterol. But because it's low in fat, it apparently doesn't have that much of an effect on the body's blood cholesterol.

Saturated fat affects blood cholesterol more than actual cholesterol that comes from food. If that makes any sense.

However, since egg yolks are one of the highest cholesterol-containing foods (next to liver) the recommendation is to keep them at a max of two yolks per week.

Egg whites are a good source of protein, but most of the vitamins and minerals are in the yolk.

Also, don't forget the fat that's in egg yolks.

The cage-free/vegetarian fed hen eggs are supposedly lower in fat and higher in omega-3 fatty acids than regular eggs. I buy the Eggland's Best, 25% less saturated fat.

I eat quite a bit of eggs myself, but mostly just the whites. I have maybe one yolk per week.

I love eggs! We have chickens also. We sell some of our eggs or barter with them, plus give them to our grown kids. I use a lot of eggs. If you boil them, use the egg whites in a salad and feed the boiled yolks back to the chickens, they love them and it's good for them, as are the egg shells (good source of calcium) - thus, the whole egg gets used. I usually use the yolks as they are high in beta carotene and are much healthier than store bought eggs. Crack a farm fresh egg next to a store bought egg and look at the color of the yolks. It's unbelievable! Ours are practically orange while the store bought ones are a pale yellow.

Here is one of my fav chicken sites: http://www.backyardchickens.com/
The message boards are full of information, coop plans, and everything one needs to know about raising chickens.

New dietary recommendations are limiting eggs to 4 a week not 2 like before.

Eggs are awesome. I don't worry about the cholesterol thing because I'm only 18, and I like the yolk. I don't like to eat the whole thing, but I like it to be mooshy so the yolk juice gets on the egg whites. It gives them more flavor. I usually throw away the harder parts of the yolk. lol I'm so weird!!

Hello neighbor!!

I'll tell you what I do with my eggs. I hope you like tuna, because I make a tuna patty with a small whole egg, about 1/4 cup of hashbrowns, and a can of tuna. You mix them together and fry it as a patty. I like mine salty so I add seasoned salt too. It's less than 250 calories and it keeps you full for a long time (because of the protein). I had one today at 10:30 am and I'm still not hungry. And it's been almost six hours. Sometimes when I lacking fiber, I'll use flax seeds instead of the hashbrowns, and then you have a protein and fiber combo which is the best as keeping hunger at bay.

I use eggs in a healthy version of stir fried rice (brown rice that is). I use Koops Arizona Heat mustard in mine and it is SOOO good. I use 1/2 cup brown rice, one tablespoon of Country Crock, one egg, and whatever veggies I have on hand.

Now that sounds good.
