Egg?
Eggs are great, but I should really stop putting so much salt on them, not good for, talking about hard boiled.
Scrambled is always good, and with toast B^)

I can't stand eggs, but they always look so delicious to me

I used to eat 3 eggs sunny side up/over easy with 4 slices of toast. I was killing myself with all the bread. So now I just do a scramble and add whatever I have in the fridge (jalapeños, cheese, bacon, ham, chicken, steak etc...) and sometimes put it in a tortilla.
Any recommendations of vegetables to add for someone who is not a big veggie eater?

I used to love Corned beef hash when I was a kid.. Now the smell alone is just completely rancid.

Eggs are my main meal because they're cheap and go with anything.

It's creme fraiche, which is somewhat similar but not identical to sour cream.
Plain Greek yogurt works well in them, too.

Didn't really like eggs until I put hot sauce on them. God-tier bruh.
Spinach, onion, bell pepper, mushroom (I personally don't like them but others do), tomatoes (yes not a veggie), and avocado.

Coconut oil is farce. No evidence has promoted it over conventional oils.

Really sad to see people avoiding eggs for misguided dietary advice from misguided people. Eggs are just about one of the best foods around.
I eat between two and eight just about every single day.
Wait, what do you consider "conventional oils?" My personal go-to oils are butter, lard, coconut, and olive.

Yeah he said creme fraiche but I used sour cream since we have that in the fridge all the time. Did not hamper the deliciousness.

those plus corn oil. It depends on the heat though.

Pass on that corn oil. I tend to avoid any and all vegetable oils that require extreme processing to extract the oil from the source.
I also tried the Gordon Ramsey way this morning thanks to this thread and definitely will be doing this more often!
As for the health issues, I actually asked this question to a nutritionist friend of mine a few weeks ago. She said generally you're only suppose to have 1 egg a day. Quick google search indicates that it's because the yolk contains ~184mg of cholesterol (that's 60% based on 2000 calories a day). If you proceed to eat just whites after, I imagine it's fine.

Except that dietary cholesterol doesn't really have a huge effect on blood cholesterol. What an expert of a nutritionist your friend is.
My Dad taught me to cook over-easy eggs using a mix of about a table spoon of peanut oil and a table spoon of clarified butter. He says that the oil helps prevent the butter from burning.
I like my eggs over-easy, served with toast. My brother on the other hand prefers poached eggs. Scrambled eggs and omelets are great though. Just never order scrambled eggs at a cheap restaurant or diner.

She did say generally. She studies in the field, and I'd sure take her word over yours. Anyways I'm not trying to convince anyone here.

It's totally understandable that you would take a friend's word over that of some random guy on the Internet. That doesn't stop her from being wrong, though.

Best base breakfast food. I feel wonderful every day that I have eggs in the morning.
The yokes are the best part for you, so this is horrible advice.
You should let your "nutritionist" friend know that dietary cholesterol does not have an effect on our cholesterol levels. Once again, eggs contain polyunsaturated fats. Which can actually lower cholesterol. Which is why if you read the thread you'll see other people have the same results:
I eat about 3-5 eggs a day and have very healthy cholesterol levels.
Good for you then but GENERALLY professionals will recommend you one a day.

http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/7301/description/Reevaluating_Eggs_Cholesterol_Risks
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cholesterol/HQ00608
A 2007 study of nearly 10,000 adults demonstrated no correlation between moderate egg consumption and cardiovascular disease or strokes, except in the subpopulation of diabetic patients who presented an increased risk of coronary heart disease.
There are studies from 2012 that contradict the studies in the links you provided. The most recent study your links cite to is 2008.
The most recent study on this issue that I can find, published in 2013, concludes that there is no link between egg consumption and heart disease/stroke.
As for the recommendations of professionals, I've had 2 doctors tell me that I can eat all the eggs I want because of recent findings in regards to how our body handles dietary cholesterol.
If dietary cholesterol worked how you believe it does, then I would be consuming 300% based on my 2k calories per day. Given that I have healthy cholesterol, you can see how your reasoning is problematic...
But I don't blame you for believing a friend over someone online. And who knows, given how often the medical community changes their mind, for all I know in a few docs will conclude that eggs somehow effect estrogen and are turning me into a female or some shit or some other crazy shit.

scrambled eggs are about as bland as it gets even with salt and pepper and creme fraiche, just such a boring dish
i like my eggs spicy or sunnyside up/over easy on toast or with some rice, that shit is tasty
i also appreciate eggs because it give us
a crucial ingredient in all of these

I'm all for believing otherwise if you've given sufficient information to back up your opinion, which you have now. But like you said, seeing how they contradict their opinions so often, I would, personally, rather stick to a not so crazy amount. Guess I won't feel as bad for eating two a day now.
This is why I generally find it difficult to argue too intensely on this issue.
In trying to prove my point, I cite to the medical community and their journals. But these journals are inconsistent as fuck and seem to constantly contradict themselves.
In the past 10 or so years, I think they've gone back and forth +10 times in regards to whether red wine has any health benefits, whether butter will kill us, whether we are getting enough iodine through table salt on its own, whether the mercury in fish will kills us (and whether only predatory fish pose this risk, assuming there is one), whether organic fruits/vegetables are superior, whether organic dairy products are superior, etc.
But even if we are to synthesize the links you provided with the links I provided, 2 eggs surely won't kill you

I love me some eggs. I used to ask for them all the time when I was younger. I think I'm gonna have to try Gordon Ramsay's version of scrambled eggs. I've never made them like that before.

I think the key is to monitor your levels and adjusting consumption accordingly. We should get our blood checked regularly anyway.

I only clicked the Harvard link, but in the text you chose not to quote, it (seemingly grudgingly) admits this:
Why limit it to one then?
All of those links say to limit your consumption of dietary cholesterol, but they fail to explain why.

Agreed. Go well with fresh-squeezed orange juice, too. Six soft boiled eggs in kosher salt and turmeric with a glass of OJ every day.
