How Long...

[mystkev]

in advance can you boil eggs?

I am trying to eat boiled eggs daily, but I am too tired to make them most mornings and I figured I could boil a bunch at a time and keep them in the fridge until I am ready to eat them.

So how long can I keep them before they go bad or they become questionable?

boiled eggs can last up to a week in your refrigerator. A couple of days if left out.

I would probably make enough for like, 4 or 5 days at a time.

4 weeks on the shelf

4 months in the freezer

i'm confused...

Why does it last longer in the shelf as opposed to the fridge?

You should never eat more than 4 whole eggs in a week. Eggs are high in cholestrol. You can eat egg whites though.

If you're looking for protein, try eating tuna fish or turkey breast. Fresh salmon is also very good. The fat on the salmon is actually good for you. It's just hard to store it over a number of days. Best to prepare it and freeze it in separate containers.

i added boiled eggs for breakfast recently...i boil 4 of them and keep them in the fridge, they are usually gone by the end of the week.
