    scrambled vs boiled

    How much protien do you loose by scrambling eggs? Like not the exact number but a general idea?


    I know it has to have been in a past thread but i couldn't find it in a search.

    i think its exactly the same if not better..i always scramble 6-8 egg whites with 1 or 2 yolks in it with wheat toast and sugar free jelly and a glass of skim milk its an awesome breakfast and gives me tons of energy

    just don't burn them and you'll be fine. i would GUESS that the nutrition of both cooking approaches would be the same.

    roteins denature when they lose their three-dimensional structure - their chemical conformation and thus their characteristic folded structure. Proteins may be denatured at the secondary, tertiary and quaternary structural levels, but not at the primary structural level.

    When food is cooked, some of its proteins become denatured. This is why boiled eggs become hard and cooked meat becomes firm.
    A classic example of denaturing in proteins comes from egg whites, which are largely egg albumins in water. Fresh from the eggs, egg whites are transparent and liquid. But by cooking they are turned opaque and white, and form an interconnected solid mass. The same transformation can be effected with a denaturing chemical.
