Why does adding salt to omelettes before cooking make them tough.
I never use salt when I eat soft cooked eggs because it seems to make the yolks
firmer. Could salted soft eggs have anythng to do with elevated LDL
cholesterol. (My LDL is relatively low).

Neither salt nor eggs have anything meaningful to do with LDL.
Adding salt will tend to raise the cooking temperature. A boiled egg that is
cooked in salt water cooks at a higher temperature.

"They?" Hey, if someone is cooking you an omelette, leave well enough alone.
