😔 Low Appetite
Boil just 1 egg. Eat half if that's all you can manage. Even half a boiled egg provides 3g protein—perfectly acceptable when appetite is minimal.
🤢 Feeling Nauseous
Soft-boiled eggs with runny yolk are often gentler than hard-boiled. Serve warm not hot. Very plain no salt. Eat slowly in small bites.
😊 Normal Appetite
Boil 2-3 eggs. Eat with slice of buttered toast or crackers. Could comfortably eat 3 eggs (18g protein) on better appetite days.
📦 Storage & Make-Ahead
Hard-boiled eggs keep in fridge up to 7 days (leave in shell or peel and store in covered container). Label with boiling date. Don't freeze. Soft-boiled best eaten immediately.

Eggs provide complete protein with all essential amino acids. Very budget-friendly at 17p per egg. Highly portable—can eat anywhere. Soft or hard-boiled suits different preferences.
