Soft-boiled vs. Hard-boiled Eggs: How Do You Eat Them?

I usually eat soft-boiled eggs after my workout to replenish protein or as a meal replacement. However, I was advised to eat hard-boiled eggs in the summer due to concerns about food poisoning from Salmonella on the shells. So, I have been eating hard-boiled eggs lately, but for some reason, I feel like I can't digest them well. Do you eat soft-boiled or hard-boiled eggs for protein or as a meal replacement?
