Eggs are nutritious. They contain proteins, vitamins, minerals and healthy fats even though they also contain some calories.
An average of no more than one egg per day is recommended.
1. Soft-boiled eggs:

Overcooking eggs may damage most of the nutrients in it so you may want to avoid hard-boiled eggs as often as you can and go for half boiled eggs instead.
2. Poached eggs:
You poach an egg by cooking it in slightly cooler water than the one you boil it in. You crack it in a pot of simmering water and boil for a few minutes.
This method is recommended because you are not adding extra fat or calories. Thus the only calories you consume are those in the egg alone.

3. Fry with 'healthy' oils:
If you must fry your eggs, then fry them in healthy oils. Healthy oils here refers to oils that are stable in high temperatures.
Oils that remain stable at high temperatures and do not oxidize easily to form harmful free radicals. Examples of healthy oils are extra virgin olive oil and buttter.
