This question gets asked by keto dieters because eggs are often a go-to food and hard-boiled eggs are exceptionally convenient. The answer depends on what you mean by "regular" eggs. Hard-boiled, or otherwise fully-cooked eggs, make sure there are no pathogens in the egg that could make you sick. That's why it's advisable to fully cook your food if you don't know where it came from.Of course, any time you apply heat to raw food you risk damaging some of the nutrients, such as heat-sensitive vitamins. While I like hard-boiled eggs, I prefer a soft yolk of pastured eggs that offers the maximum amount of nutrients.
