3 questions

whatislife

1) I grilled a chicken, didn't use oils or anything, to bring to lunch with me. I chopped it up and put it in a lunchbox with pasta. I then put the box in the fridge. Should I let the chicken, cool first before putting in the fridge?

2) Anyone have any special recipes for boiling an egg?

3) What are the best type of nuts to eat, and what brand would you recommend for me when I go to Tesco lateR?

Never put hot food in the fridge, it's an easy way of getting food poisoning.

Soft - boiled boil water then put egg for 4 min
hard - just put egg in water and bring to boil for a few mins

Depends on why you want to eat nuts, if it's for a healthy snack nuts during weight/fat loss are meh.(my opinion on the meh)

Some of the lads on here have a great recipe for an oat/whey/ egg pancake, that you can make and take to work for lunch.

Check this out,

Its Mellors recipe....

Yeah let the chicken fully cool down before putting it in fridge, or leave out over night then add it into your pasta...

Sorry to hijack this op but I didn't know where else to ask the question.

Iv bee told eggs are Brilliant for protein etc.
But how many can you safely eat a day i.e what is a healthy number of eggs per day.

Should I take out the yolk or use all of it.

Thanks

Nuts aren't a very good protein source.
A decent fat source, but not protein.

I don't eat nuts as snacks as I will take a bit extra without noticing and before I know it I've ate 400 calories of nuts instead of 200 and have hardly ate anything at all,
for 200 cals I have a quorn sausage 50, pumpkin rye cracker 50, cream cheese 50 and an apple 50 ish, mmm its lovely and like a whole little meal.

Nuts are good fats though! Eggs are grand, not much you can do with a boiled egg I'd imagine though.

I wouldn't fret about the how many eggs but on the other hand I wouldnt treat it as an unlimited food source, there is such a thing as eating too many eggs isn't there I'd imagine but maybe not as much for bulking up. Yurt no egg fear.

Hives? That's unusual or at least I've never heard of anyone getting hives from eating eggs.

On a slightly side note I bought 12 good free range eggs for 2.30, they were half price because they were going to go off next week, eating loads of eggs this week.

Are you allergic to them?

elizabethmary

maybe its an old wives tale but we were always told that too many eggs would give you hives.and when we were little and got itchy eggs were blamed.

Me, I LOVE eggs, I have my owns hens and eggs are sooooo yummy.
