No matter how you like your eggs cooked, you'll get the same great nutritional benefits. If you want to enjoy eggs without any added fat or calories, however, then you need to try poaching them. Poached eggs have a creamy, delicate texture that's sure to appeal even if you've grown used to eating your eggs scrambled or over-easy, but all you need to cook them in is water (and perhaps a touch of vinegar).
SF Gate points out that if you were to eat eggs cooked in a tablespoon of butter five days a week, and then made the switch to eating poached eggs, this would save you approximately 500 calories per week, or 26,000 calories per year. As it takes about 3,500 calories to lose one pound of fat (via the Mayo Clinic), this simple switch would allow you to lose about 7.5 pounds in a year's time. Okay, so maybe not enough to make you The Biggest Loser, but every little bit helps, right? Oh, and if you're afraid to try your hand at egg poaching, don't be. It's really not that complicated, as long as you make sure to follow these tips for perfect poached eggs. Tasty, healthy, and easy, too. Best. Breakfast. Ever.
