Duh....he drinks the raw eggs so he can get it on his mustache. This way he can blow the odor in his competitors face and gain a strategic edge over them....didn't you watch that episode????

And yes you can get salmonella

only about 50% of raw egg is digested. can't remember why, but i know this has been proven. i gave up eating them raw because of it.

egg is a great source of protein, but if you want all the nutrients and protein they can provide, you gotta cook them.

Your question should be: "Why do some bodybuilders drink raw eggs?"

Some believe the egg is the perfect protein source and that cooking denatures the protein.

Are there benefits?

Maybe

Would i do it? I have.. but it doesn't appeal to me.

There are no secrets in bodybuilding noob.. 'cept maybe consistency.

Drinking some raw eggs won't give you the edge over anyone.

Eat your chicken and fish.. drink your whey.. Get in your carbs and EFAs.. and train hard

Especially with fresh grade-A poultry

I've read that but i'm not too sure

I do know however that when consumed raw there's an enzyme in eggs that prevents the absorption of one of the b-complex vitamins. Cooking de-activates that enzyme.

I agree.

The operative phrase there is 'cook them'... as opposed to over-cooking 'em.

Over-cooking 'em imo is worse

drinking pasteurized eggs or egg whites = high bioavailability

cooking pasteurized eggs or egg whites = decresed bioavailability

cooking regular eggs or egg whites = high bioavaliability

drinking regular eggs or egg whites = decreased bioavailablity...plus chances of getting salmonella.

Aw, dang it Nark - that's the whole reason I joined this board!
I thought I'd find the secret (Meaning easy way) of getting big and lean.

BTW - This one was pretty good!

Hogan comes from the really old school where it was believed that the worse something tasted, or the more painful an exercise, the better it was for you. Jack La Laine in the 50's used to say "If it tastes good, don't eat it!". That was kind of the bodybuilding mantra of the day. Hogan's from that old school. The mind is a powerful thing too, if you think you're taking something in it's "hardcore" form, like the eggs, sometimes it mentally gets to you and you think you just feel stronger and bigger. Psyches you up for a workout. The rest of us just think about salmonella......lol.....:-)

**peterj** · 05-11-2006, 02:42 AM

has anyone looked at the TEF of raw vs cooked? (any method of cooking)

now my question here is this: is raw pasteurized eggs preferred, or is cooked regular eggs preferred? with cooked, you have the concerns with overcooking or undercooking. with pasteurized, it's good and ready to go, but is as much really bioavailable as is with the cooked?

im not totally sure...but since pasteurzing IS cooking them a bit...im guessing its pretty close to one another..

Drinking them takes 2 seconds and ur done...as to cooking, u gotta cook, make sure u dont overcook and then eat...and do dishes

i always drink them..alot more convenient.

yea, i'm thinking of doing the same, cause i'm sick of spending so much time every night cooking the damn eggs. i scramble them, and since i have an electric stove, the things are having to be constantly stirred, and even then they still try to stick to the bottom of the no-stick pan! to keep as little from sticking as possible, i have to cook them on a really low heat, which means it takes about 15 minutes to cook them as well. it's a pain in my *ss.

i know a place near me that sells the pasteurized kind, but my only problem is no egg yolks in it, which i use for the cholesterol (saying as i don't get any anywhere else in my diet). what else could i use as a cholesterol replacement to go along with the pasteurized eggs?
