I am new to this medifast system. (Just finishing my 2nd day). I am wondering if you can have eggs, boiled or scrambled for your protein meal?
BTW: Reading all these responses sure is a great motivator

although I'm also new ... and intimidated answering a question ... but I was also interested to read the following from a post by Nancy. I also love eggs and am on the 5-1 plan.

I fixed a nice salad of spinach, red onion, a bit of cucumber and two hard boiled eggs. Eggs work fine on occasion if a person has no cholesterol probs. Women can have a protein serving of 4-5 ounces, men 6-7 ounces. Keep in mind the calories in a lean meat serving - that's why I chose two hard boiled eggs in place of the meat serving. I wouldn't have it every day but once in a while it should be fine. Men could most likely get away with three eggs.

regarding eggs...

Too bad, so sad, NO eggberts are allowed on the weight loss program.


I am on maintenance so I have eggs occasionally.

They will still be around when you get to your goal weight and you may have them then. Patience, have patience, don't be in such a hurry...

1 cup of egg substitutes is permitted on the plan for Seniors. (There is a whole separate protocol for seniors.)

I recently made a suggestion to one of our MakeMeThinner Friends who was caught off-guard with no protein in the old refer. I suggested that they have an egg or two rather than having something that is not lean and higher in calories.

well darn!! But, glad I asked. I love eggs... but like you said, they will always be there. I guess I can wait til the weight is gone...
