eggs

[nvnvgirl]

I used to give Max just a few pieces of my scrambled egg whites and he LOVED it! I wonder though.....if anyone knows.....I use the nonstick cooking spray to cook them with....I wonder if that's ok for them? I mean, he never got sick or anything, but I wonder if it's better that they be cooked in olive oil or something else rather than the NSCS?

I never noticed him having gas either...maybe it's from the yolk

Sometimes they even get it on saturdays Then they REALLY love me...I keep reading and hearing about how good eggs are for dogs coats and skin. It has a lot of protein plus something about the yolk keeps the babies coat and skin good. But of course only 1-2 eggs a week without all the stuff we add in them for us.

So, you shouldn't feed one every day?
Also, I am cooking it in the microwave. I just mix it up plain in a glass dish and cook it for less than a minute..........then mix it a bit and cook a bit more to be sure it is done.
Any problems with the microwave? I hope not, as we eat food from the microwave!

Mine get eggs also, it is a huge treat to them and they love it, I generally give them just egg, but adding cheese would be a bonus for them,

I do not see why the microwave would be a problem. I think that is a great idea. I mean as long as you are heating it in a glass bowl and not in plastic (which you did say you use glass ). I think its all good girl!

Not really, bc eggs are rather high in cholesterols. Sterols are healthy, but not in huge amounts, just like for humans (sterols are lipids - fatty).

HUMMMM.....I am wondering if I should stop giving M&M one every morning now.

What else could I feed for breakfast if I do not do my mixture of egg and cottage cheese?

Hmmmm....well, maybe you could just do the whites? The cholesterol is contained in the yoke. Or, do you think egg beaters would be palatable (bc they are cholesterol free)?

Or, what about cottage cheese and tofu (if no soy allergies) or meat or fish?

Are you homecooking entirely or just in the mornings? You can just feed what you feed the rest of the day if you homecook. You could go with a meat instead (like chicken, lamb).

What if you just give them the whites scrambled? It's a good source of protein and no cholesterol. You could add the yolk like once a week or a couple of days a week. I know Max loved the whites. I just scramble them in non stick spray (or you could use olive oil I guess) without any seasoning.

Yes I am homecooking - I may have to do that, give a variety instead of eggs every morning. Eggs are just easy and cheap so that is why I have been doing it.

I could do that too - good idea. I know they like the egg whites as well.
