Mikey, I thought of You when I watched this video. Thought it was a good video. In the comments he mentions the cooking of eggs.

I eat 1 to 4 cooked eggs each day, they are one of my main protein sources so I find this video very interesting.
I think anything is good as long as you don't overdo it. Whenever there are conflicting opinions I try to do something in between. I eat eggs but not 10 per day like some strength athletes do.

The key to selecting eggs or any food is to know the source. I mean the true source and everything that was done to it from start to table. I rarely buy eggs from the grocer. Only when my farming friends' chickens slow down or I run out. When I do buy them at the store, I look for THESE from the Happy Egg Company or the ones from Vital Farms. So, I stay stocked up because eggs stay fresh for a very long time. They don't even need refrigeration if turned 1/4 turn every morning. When I take them on summer trips, they are not in the cooler taking up space for the more perishable stuff. When eating eggs, the closer the yolk is to raw, the more nutritious they are. |

If it has an ingredient label, it's quite unlikely to be food.

I buy most of my eggs from Trader Joe's. They have reasonable prices for organic stuff. Thanks for the Vital Farms mention. I have seen them in two stores around my house. |

I love eggs. Sunny side up with runny yolks. From what I’ve read, it’s best to eat the yolks raw, or runny. Hard boiled eggs, where the yolk turns a weird greenish- yellow color, don’t appeal to me.
Like Michael, I buy mine at Trader Joe’s, and sometimes the organic ones at Costco.

I pay $2.50 to $3.50 per dozen for my free pasture range organic eggs from the farmers or farmer's market people I buy from.
Look for a farmer's market or food co-op if you don't know anyone who has chickens. There are people with chickens in this area who have a shed or room on their property where people can go in, pull eggs from the refrigerator and leave the money in a can - honor system. This is nice because I can see what's happening to the chickens.

Them organic free roam eggs are like $8 a doz. We get brown free run eggs that are local but from our supermarket, $5.49 doz. Which is fitter an egg that roams or an egg that runs?

Free run eggs are barn chickens that can run around, free roam is where they run around on grass outside. Free Run above and Free Roam or Cage Free below
 That is the chickens not the eggs. |

I heard that free roam eggs have the most nutrients I'm glad you mentioned this. I did a search and found THIS. Apparently, the eggs I eat are correctly called "pastured eggs". The chickens are in the most natural environment possible. They are usually within a fence and they have shelter available, but it's typically a generous area in the back yard where they are free to roam around and eat bugs and plants - doing what chickens do. Their are also people who have layers inside a moveable cage which is moved around the yard to give them fresh grazing. |

Thanks for posting that Mikey. Learned the difference between the type of eggs.
