Egg Whites International ???

[XD40]

Ive just started using this stuff and if it is wat it says it is then you need to go get some! I have replaced my egg white omelets and steak in the morning with this stuff to cut out the time to prep and $$$ on different types of food. it is also a good addition to your protein shakes. i do have a Q though. do you guys think that it is okay to replace a meal or two with this stuff? i think i mite knock out that dreaded whole can of tuna or salmon that seems to be so repetitive with this. Im just gonna mix it in with some gatorade. do you think this is benificial or am i missing out on some nutrients?

(this guy is kind of a tool but u get the idea)

[D7M]

looks like just 'egg whites'...you can get that at any grocery store.

I wouldn't replace a whole meal with it, but you can replace what ever egg whites you usually eat with that.

And yes, that guy is a tool.

[XD40]

No you cant buy it at the grocery store because its pasturized. you can eat these things raw and they have no smell or taste.

[D7M]

I'm positive they sell pasteurized egg whites at grocery stores.

hmmm.....well they dont in illinois

[Phate]

hmmm.....well they dont in illinois

they don't have eggbeaters in illinois?

btw, raw egg whites aren't good to eat, they lose 25% of their protein value when uncooked

go look in MuscleScience's Ask the Exercise Scientist thread, he and i are discussing this question right now

[Deltasaurus]

^^^They have pasturized egg whites everywhere goto walmart or sumthing

[XD40]

well i know that i deff. would not want to drink egg beaters. smell and taste like shi*. E.W.I easily mix in with any drink w/o the odor or taste. they have a protein content of 26g per cup. my question is would it be okay to replace breakfast with two cups of these when i dont have time to cook in the morning ?

i just drank some eggbeaters an hour ago, not bad at all, faint taste but nothing bad

the problem is that even though they have 26g per cup, if you are losing 25% due to them being uncooked then they are actually only 20g per cup, so you would have to drink 2.5 cups

[XD40]

ok kool i got ya bro. to be honest i didnt know that you could actually drink egg beaters thats why i just spent $38 on a gallon of eggwhites. i thought that E.W.I were different. I also checked out ur post with the exercise scientist. if you like to drink em like i do then check out the link i posted above man. thanx for clearing that up for me.

yeah, i've had EWI before, but i can get a gallon of egg whites from my store for about 10 bucks

[XD40]

sweet man thats CHEAP! is your store a natural foods store or what?

[Phate]

HEB, it's just a huge supermarket, they have egg beaters for 4$ for 32oz but i get the store brand that are 1.50$ for 16oz, which is around 50g of protein, perfect chug size

[XD40]

sweet bro thanx.

Phate are you saying that the protein in pastuerized egg whites (aka egg beaters) is not 100% bio-available in the raw form, or are you only referring to un-pastuerized egg whites (aka the whites eggs)? I have heard you are ok using pastuerized egg whites in the raw form.

[dmoneyellis]

How do the egg beaters taste raw? It just sounds bad..but listening to yall drinking it makes me want to drink it instead of cooking it since it loses protein

[Joker111086]

how much a carton of egg whites cost??

[XD40]

depends on where and what you get. i pay 36.00 for a gallon of the EWI.

[Joker111086]

gallon has how many oz? lol

[XD40]

128oz

[Joker111086]

egg whites? lol sold 165 per container for 46 bucks

[XD40]

I dont think thoes are pasturized so you cannot drink them only cook with them....

[Joker111086]

they look precooked lol

[FallenWyvern]

Where is otto?

the egg is only 100% bioavailable if you consume the whole egg, and since egg beaters only contain less than 1% egg yolk then the bioavailability is going to be less than 100%, though i don't know by how much

pasteurized lose around 5% of their protein to digestion, while uncooked raw egg whites lose around 25% i believe

[XD40]

Well the EWI company lies. On the container it says "100% Bio-available"......basterds

News to my ears, that's the first I have heard about pasteurized egg white liquids losing 5% of their protein through digestion. If this is true, I need to account for the lose in my macros.

everything loses to digestion, that's the basis of thermogenesis, if you eat a 100 calorie portion of protein, up to 30% of the calories are going to be turned into heat by digestion, 20% for carbs and 1-2% for fat if i remember correctly

Yeah, yeah, yeah, digestion causing exothermic reactions within the body, it's like biochem all over again. Phate you're such a scholar, j/k thanks for the info bro.

No, I believe you and DSM are the only takers around here!
