Some Easy Egg Recipes

There are many excellent easy egg recipes to be found in cookbooks and on the Internet. An egg can be cooked alone - boiled, poached, fried, scrambled, or used as an ingredient in baking, batters and cakes. But how do you know about old an egg is? You can put the egg in a dish of water.


When it sinks, lies horizontally - very fresh.
When it sinks, tilts slightly - about 1 week old.
When it sinks, but stands vertically - older, stale.
When it floats - it's off and be careful not to crack the shell.


Some people prefer brown eggs and some white, but nutritionally they are the same. Egg yolks are extremely high in protein, vitamin B12, and vitamin A. Egg protein is loaded with vitamins and nutrients that feed the muscles and tissues allowing for muscles to become stronger. There is a large amount of protein in eggs, which make egg protein supplements one of the highest concentrations of protein available on the market. Protein is a very important part of any bodybuilder's nutritional diet.


Eggs have always had an important role in the bodybuilding arena. Most have maintained a raw egg diet to boost proteins in the body before working out and strength training. Protein has always been a pivotal mark in building muscle and the egg has become almost symbolic for bodybuilders. If you're a bodybuilder, chances are that you have had a raw egg shake or two! Thank goodness for many athletes that egg protein supplements today are available without the runny, slimy raw texture to swallow.


Always prepare raw eggs on a clean surface and be sure to wash all surfaces down with your favorite kitchen cleanser or dish detergent, and clean all cooking utensils thoroughly to prevent salmonella poisoning. You should use the same precautions you would if you were preparing meat. Always thoroughly cook the egg by scrambling it or by boiling.


There you have it! Now get to cracking the easy egg recipes!
