Fully cooked eggs or not fully cooked?

No, there will barely be any difference at all, so you can cook them as you like. They are not like potatoes or paste, whose glycemic index changes depending on how cooked they are. Eggs will have the same nutritional value regardless if they are completely boiled down, or not entirely. Even if there will be any difference, I don't thing it will be meaningful.
this is something that dr gerry taught me on a prior podcast.
you cook an egg too much it actually becomes bad cholesterol, you undercook it and it is good cholesterol.
BUT you must get quality eggs.. if you get caged chicken eggs they are going to have diseases like salmonella, so you cannot undercook them for health benefits
so when you buy eggs you look for pastured eggs WITH the humane friendly sticker on them. that tells you that those chickens were inspected and passed and they are not stuck in cages.. they are out there pecking and eating bugs etc like they are supposed to do

As Steve says the better the egg the better the health and flavor. I'd want the yolk runny
It is just much easier to cook them completely, and not everyone digs the taste of the semiliquids.
Or two birds.
i told you why in my post above
most eggs and 100% of eggs at restaurants are cheap eggs and contain bacteria so you need to cook them. you never eat eggs at a restaurant undercooked! plus it is unsanitary anyway. you think the people cooking your food back there care?
The main reason is convenience. It's very easy to pack hard boiled eggs in your lunch box, backpack etc.
Also, most people prefer the taste of cooked eggs. When you go to a diner, 99.999% of people ask for the eggs well done. Very few people like the taste of runny egg yolks
I eat them both ways. I do like the convenience of hard boiled eggs like Muskate mentioned.
