I bought 48 hardboiled and peeled eggs at Costco.

It said they would be good until like mid April.

are there ingredients (preservatives)  besides eggs?

my boiled-at-home peeled eggs have gotten slimy a lot sooner

Please let us know how it tastes

If they aren't rubbery, I might buy some

DS and I love hardboiled eggs

I'll check later re: preservatives. I didn't think they were super flavorful (but they typically aren't to me), but they were not rubbery.

They come bundled together 4 little sealed bags. Shaped to look like one egg container, kind of.

I cut one open and it didn't stink. I was surprised.

I get what you mean though. The stink comes later.

Are they in some sort of liquid? If so, what is that stuff? It always weirds me out and is the reason I can't commit to buying hard boiled eggs.


Maybe it's just water? I'm probably way overthinking it.

No liquid. They might have been a little damp, but no pool of liquid.

Nor do I understand throwing away yolks and searching out some other "nutrient-dense" food. IT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. lol.

I just don't love the taste. They are powdery and weird.

I only eat the whites. I used to do 3 whites as part of my breakfast.

Let me know if they're good or not. Cause, they could be ... weird.

They're not weird. I've had the costco ones. Super convenient too.

I forget what happened? You bought some at a gas station. They were bad?

She ate pickled eggs from a gas station! Not the same thing!

Think I will feel added energy?

I think something must be off. I got bloodwork on Friday during a physical. I may need vitamin D or a B12 complex or something.

My doctor said that daily vitamins are a waste and not to bother.

My vitamin d is low and I'm taking prescription 50000 unit pills once a week to see if it improves. I'm less tired and my bones aren't hurting for no reason now. Hopefully they can find a reason.

[karmasabiotch]

Too many bald eggs all in one place. Do they get slimyish?

[Alyssa]

Sorry, I must be an egg snob but the thought of eating a month old hard boiled egg sounds pretty nasty.

Some people have to watch their cholesterol. I try to stick to 300mg a day. One egg has around 185mg. There are a lot of reasons people ditch the yolk, this is just one.

I'd look at the other foods you are eating.  Between what you said here about eggs being high calorie and having issues with cholesterol, I'd suspect that eggs are the least of your nutritional concerns.

Eggs are high in dietary cholesterol.  There is little, if any, evidence that the high dietary cholesterol in eggs has any impact on raising your body's cholesterol level. 

Additionally, I believe egg yolks contain 1/2 the protein in an egg, so eating egg whites for protein in an attempt to cut calories is ridiculous, as you need to eat twice as many to take in the same amount of protein if you eat the whole egg.  The calorie savings is minimal at that point.

[wambam]

OMG what is that?! I must eat it now!

[Deleted]

Yolks are the best. I legit get sad when I make fried eggs and overcook the eggs so that it's no longer runny.

[bania]

I could really go for some eggs right now. I'm annoyed I won't have enough time at lunch to run home and make some.

[fezzik]

I just read this whole thread thinking there had to be some juicy drama in here to be 4 pages, but nope, just a 4 page thread all about eggs.

I'm disappointed.

Lol.  That's why you skip right to page 3 or 4.  If there's juicy dramz, then go back and read.  Viola!

Are we fighting about eggs?

You believe it, or you know it to be true based on something? I need to know if I have to eat the yolks. Lol.

I would make avocado egg salad: www.skinnytaste.com/2012/04/avocado-egg-salad.html

[8675309]

I was on a protein kick and was eating 2-3 (whole) hard boiled eggs a day. I was so happy when I dicovered that Costco sells them already boiled and peeled. Then I ate one and gagged. It had a chemical smell/taste to it. It was so gross that I had to have egg salad sandwiches for a month just to get rid of them. Blech!

[iamgrace]

This is insane.
A) that's a lot of fucking eggs, man.
B) just fucking make eggs.
C) unless you eat nothing but pop tarts and slim jims now, I highly doubt the addition of 1-2 hb eggs a day will change how you feel. Except for the farts.

I eat soft boiled eggs everyday.

If it was so bad, why not toss them?

I don't taste chemicals.

I don't understand this?! What is so offensive to people about buying cooked eggs like this. It's not like I paid MORE for the convenience. 

[murdock]

Hard boiled egg yolks = gag
Soft boiled, sunny side up, etc..yolks = yum

LOL.  There is just over 6 grams protein in one egg, with 3.6 grams in the white and 2.7 grams in the yolk. 

So if you eat one egg at just under 80 calories, you get 6.3 grams of protein, all of the nutrients in the yolk that aren't in the whites, and a lot more flavor (the flavor comment is, in fact, my opinion, not based on anything, lol).   Or you can eat 2 egg whites to get those 6.3 grams of protein and save about 40 calories.  But then you have to stomach eating two plan egg whites.  :-) 

[iamgrace]

Ok, ok. BUT please do a taste comparison and report on the first egg you eat v. the 48th.
