I add my cheese to omelettes while its cooking, so it melts in. Same with the ham. After adding some parsley, salt and pepper it is so gooooood.

don't forget the bacon and broccoli or I also do green/red peppers, or spinach. Do you like Quiche? or Spinach Pie? Both involve eggs and are baked instead of simmered or fried
Its usually a quick meal so neither of those lol. Quiche is usually OK and i dont really like Spinach pie. I usually have an omelette after school or for lunch otherwise. Good protein for a guy who is starting to bulk up
they used to say the yolk was too much too eat eggs daily and it will give you high cholesterol, but new studies are saying otherwise.....if you lift and workout, you work it off quick. Bodybuilders eat just the whites cuz it's pure protein, but it has NO TASTE IMO.
Well i am 6'2" and only 150 lbs. I lost 15.5lbs since i started playing rugby this year so I need to bulk up a little for next season. The weight loss changed me go from chubby to fairly thin and small built, so eggs and exercise all the way 
more proteins = canned tuna, tuna steaks, swordfish, any fish but the darker the better, lots of baked or broiled chicken, steaks and lean red meat, lean ground turkey instead of ground beef, lots of peanut butter, peanuts, cashews, almonds, Brazil nuts, nuts of any kind, seafood of any kindWell i am 6'2" and only 150 lbs.

Do you like seafood and fish?
Also any type of wild game you can get is healthier than store bought meats, typically
where you at

try doing stuff like while you're watching TV, drop and do 50 Push-ups during commercials.....uhm, STRETCHING builds muscle just like lifting because muscle is built by tearing down muscle and letting it regenerate, you can do sit-ups/crunches all day everyday. Pull up a chair a few feet from anything level with it and do DIPS.....find a tree branch and do pull ups
Do you have your own weights or a gym membership or a YMCA or what?
I do have gym membership, but i have to be 15 for weights so soon i can do it.
Im doing pushups, situps and planking before i sleep right now, and im going to start doing them at other times.
As for during ads i like never watch TV, if i am i am probably too tired for exercise lol

I heard it is in alot of trouble(doesn't work). Most say just use plain soap.
A long read
1. Antibacterial soaps are no more effective than conventional soap and water. As mentioned in the announcement, 42 years of FDA research—along with countless independent studies—have produced no evidence that triclosan provides any health benefits as compared to old-fashioned soap.
"I suspect there are a lot of consumers who assume that by using an antibacterial soap product, they are protecting themselves from illness, protecting their families," Sandra Kweder, deputy director of the FDA's drug center, told the AP. "But we don't have any evidence that that is really the case over simple soap and water."
Manufacturers say they do have evidence of triclosan's superior efficacy, but the disagreement stems from the use of different sorts of testing methods. Tests that strictly measure the number of bacteria on a person's hands after use do show that soaps with triclosan kill slightly more bacteria than conventional ones.
But the FDA wants data that show that this translates into an actual clinical benefit, such as reduced infection rates. So far, analyses of the health benefits don't show any evidence that triclosan can reduce the transmission of respiratory or gastrointestinal infections. This might be due to the fact that antibacterial soaps specifically target bacteria, but not the viruses that cause the majority of seasonal colds and flus.
2. Antibacterial soaps have the potential to create antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The reason that the FDA is making manufacturers prove these products' efficacy is because of a range of possible health risks associated with triclosan, and bacterial resistance is first on the list.
Heavy use of antibiotics can cause resistance, which results from a small subset of a bacteria population with a random mutation that allows it to survive exposure to the chemical. If that chemical is used frequently enough, it'll kill other bacteria, but allow this resistant subset to proliferate. If this happens on a broad enough scale, it can essentially render that chemical useless against the strain of bacteria.
This is currently a huge problem in medicine—the World Health Organization calls it a "threat to global health security." Some bacteria species (most notably, MRSA) have even acquired resistance to several different drugs, complicating efforts to control and treat infections as they spread. Health officials say that further research is needed before we can say that triclosan is fueling resistance, but several studies have hinted at the possibility.

3. The soaps could act as endocrine disruptors. A number of studies have found that, in rats, frogs and other animals, triclosan appears to interfere with the body's regulation of thyroid hormone, perhaps because it chemically resembles the hormone closely enough that it can bind to its receptor sites. If this is the case in humans, too, there are worries that it could lead to problems such as infertility, artificially-advanced early puberty, obesity and cancer.
These same effects haven't yet been found in humans, but the FDA calls the animal studies "a concern"—and notes that, given the minimal benefits of long-term triclosan use, it's likely not worth the risk.
4. The soaps might lead to other health problems, too. There's evidence that children with prolonged exposure to triclosan have a higher chance of developing allergies, including peanut allergies and hay fever. Scientists speculate that this could be a result of reduced exposure to bacteria, which could be necessary for proper immune system functioning and development.
Another study found evidence that triclosan interfered with muscle contractions in human cells, as well as muscle activity in live mice and minnows. This is especially concerning given other findings that the chemical can penetrate the skin and enter the bloodstream more easily than originally thought. A 2008 survey, for instance, found triclosan in the urine of 75 percent of people tested.
5. Antibacterial soaps are bad for the environment. When we use a lot of triclosan in soap, that means a lot of triclosan gets flushed down the drain. Research has shown that small quantities of the chemical can persist after treatment at sewage plants, and as a result, USGS surveys have frequently detected it in streams and other bodies of water. Once in the environment, triclosan can disrupt algae's ability to perform photosynthesis.
The chemical is also fat-soluble—meaning that it builds up in fatty tissues—so scientists are concerned that it can biomagnify, appearing at greater levels in the tissues of animals higher up the food chain, as the triclosan of all the plants and animals below them is concentrated. Evidence of this possibility was turned up in 2009, when surveys of bottlenose dolphins off the coast of South Carolina and Florida found concerning levels of the chemical in their blood.
