historically I have hated eggs... I wretch at the thought of an egg salad sandwich or deviled eggs... I am okay with scrambled but I avoid overeasy/sunnyside because I dont like the yolk...
But after hanging out with my father who is elderly I picked up on his daily diet of eating a hardboiled egg every day... sometimes I will cook an overeasy but cook the yolk all the way through...
pops stands by his egg and oatmeal every morning... but I am wondering if there is a downside to eating 1-2 eggs daily... especially from going from no eggs historically to that daily amount...
any insights here?

Historically, eggs have always gotten a bad rap. However now with all the low carb diets, they seem to be very popular. So basically it depends on if you're counting calories or watching carbs. I personally go through at least a dozen per week. I don't really know of any downside.

depeche, oat is a grain and grains should be avoided, with wheat being the worst of them. oats contain a lot of phytic acid which prevents absorption of needed minerals, although oats are decent when it comes to nutrients and fiber benefit. oatmeal is high on the glycemic index, particularly that instant crap.
it kind of depends, oatmeal isn't the worst thing you could eat. it's certainly better than a bagel or whole wheat toast, but there are a lot better options such as eggs, vegetables and others. if you eat oatmeal because you like it, that's fine but stay away from instant. if you eat oatmeal because it's good for you, you aren't eating something that's good for you.

I usually eat eggs for breakfast every other day. I often times will make scrambled eggs with one whole egg and then one egg white. You can barely tell the difference and you avoid some of the fat (although the cholesterol in eggs is really not a huge deal).
Microwaving scrambled eggs.....very under-rated way to cook them and super fast. I'll throw in a little cheese and some veggies as well.
Good to get some protein in the a.m.

Raw or Rolled Oats are one of the best carbs you can eat.
Most of the oatmeals are not made from raw or rolled oats though and made with "instant" oats instead..... the "instant" oats have the bran removed and not a whole grain. Not bad for you but not as good as the whole oats.

egg whites are one of the purest forms of protein on the planet, very low in calories (4 calories per egg minus the yolk) I consume 4 hard boiled eggs per day minus the yolk before each, and every workout (24 grams of protein)
as far as oatmeal is concerned, I think the poster who has negative feelings about oatmeal being bad for your system needs to seriously educate himself to the realities of nutrition, oatmeal without a doubt is one of the healthiest breakfast foods available to the human race, this isn't even debatable..
