Eggs are indispensable. Practically a multivitamin and nearly perfect in every way (don't mind the cholesterol; studies have strongly shown that eating eggs--2 a day is what they tested--actually improves cholesterol levels) and plus they're incredibly cheap; I can get eggs for 10 cents each ($1.20 per dozen). I used to fry them up for every meal, but to save time I've started soft-boiling about a week's worth and then mixing them with my vegetables at each meal to warm them up. Technically you don't even have to heat them up afterwords, but I at least enjoy them warm. As far as I've calculated, a dozen eggs is roughly equivalent calorie-wise to a pound of beef or pork, which at its very cheapest is roughly $1.85 a pound and on average is probably $2.50 a pound and can't compared nutritionally (much more saturated fat in meat and not nearly as many vitamins; just less cholesterol). Chicken and fish are certainly leaner and have some benefits, but both are much more expensive and, once again, fewer vitamins and minerals. In other words... stock up on eggs!

Also, I remember this thread being on here before the server reset. Is it really worth reviving it? Is the original poster still reading it or is anyone still interested?
