eggs - raw or cooked

[anabolictonic]

does it make a difference regarding protein break down if you cook your eggs or drink them raw like in a shake?? one would assume they would take longer to break down if cooked like an omelette??

Not sure on your comment about protein breakdown (and apart from directly after training having a longer absorbsion rate is a good thing)
But i do know you can get salmonella from raw eggs. i always cook them, usually just boil like 6-12 a day

Bioavailability is increased GREATLY when cooked. Boiled eggs are best.

Been having my eggs raw DAILY for 7 years now. 0 problems.
I take up to 40 egg whites/day at some point. Avergae daily 30 egg whites/day.
No Salmonella or nothing yet

the salmonella is only on the outside of the shell. if you scrub and wash the outside before you crack them there will be much smaller chance of salmonella. but realistically, when is the last time you heard about someone getting salmonella anyway. i've seen there is much debate about the protein breakdown. true, cooked would probably make them slightly slower absorbing, but i don't think the difference would be too significant.

i just drank 7 egg whites and 2 yokes a bit ago and had forgotten just how nasty it really is.

here is a good procedure how to drink eggs and not tates them:
Just open you mouth BIG () and and down it into your throat rolling your tounge backwards, and once your cup is empty take a big gulp of any other drink (have it ready in the other hand) as a chaser. NO taste wt so ever for me.

the average occurrence of eggs carrying salmonella is only 1 in every 30,000

How many times does this need to be brought up.

exactly, if you want the complete bioavailability of the egg or egg white, cook them.
