Is Eggy Bread Healthy?

I'm just wondering if eggy bread (french toast) is healthy because I'm a student and I know that eggs are very very healthy (e.g. scrambled eggs) but I rarely hear people call eggy bread healthy.
So, is eggy bread healthy? Or are the eggs no longer healthy once cooked to make eggy bread.

P.S. the bread used is wholegrain bread

Its not unhealthy but I wouldn't describe it as healthy because of the way it's cooked :smile:

What, fried? What's wrong with frying?

You may be labouring under the misconception that dietary fat is bad. This is not true, except for trans fats. Of course, it adds calories, but they aren't bad unless you have too many.

I made no mention of fats of any kind, I simply said that it isn't the healthiest way of cooking things

As part of a balanced diet it is perfectly fine.

Right, which is cooking something in heated fat. And that isn't unhealthy, unless you're using trans fats. Make sense now?

Frying is the cooking of food in oil or another fat

This is fast descending into stereotypical pointless internet debate, but what exactly do you think is unhealthy about frying? What is a healthier way to cook eggs and bread?

Use coconut oil to fry with which has many benefits and will make even healthier way to cook or use no oil at all a good quality non stick pan on a low heat, I don’t add milk to my mix either just eggs n bread
