I think they're assuming you'll use butter or oil for the scrambled or fried egg. And who knows what that cooking spray is made of? A poached egg is just as good as a hard-boiled egg (as long as you don't put it on a piece of toast).
While an occasional egg is good for you, I don't know any meal plans that recommend eating an egg every single day.

I think HB eggs are recommended in order to reduce the fat and calories used in other cooking methods. I think poached is fine as long as you don't use fat to cook it (like those poaching pans with the individual egg cups that most people grease with butter to add flavor). Poaching your eggs by breaking them directly into a skillet of simmering water and avoiding the buttered cups is completely acceptable.
By the way, I wouldn't DREAM of eating an egg without toast. A good hearty whole grain toast provides you with excellent nutritional benefits, fiber just to name one
. I also sprinkle my toast with ground flax seed for an added bonus of cholesterol lowering fiber and omega 3 fatty acid. It actually adds a lovely flavor and texture to the bread.
I think eggs are included in most meal plans because they're loaded with nutrition (especially the yolk), low in calories, and an excellent source of protein.
