    raw eggs

    I drink my eggs raw right before my oats when i get to work because... Well, I guess because I get lazy lol. Is this really bad? And is it likely I could get salmonella or something?

    Are these whole eggs, or egg whites in a container? The latter are pasteurized and safe to eat/drink raw. I wouldn't personally do it with the former, although I know people who do and have never had a problem. You do risk salmonella poisoning however.

    Note that the bioavailability of protein from raw eggs is less than that of cooked. Just keep that in mind.

    Just whole and raw and yes i remembering reading about cooking them causing greater bio availability. But i believe it's very minimal...
    Thanks

    Raw eggs are about half as bio available as a cooked egg. Pasteurised or not.

    Raw eggs are nasty going down. Never again. But if you really want, you can always boil or wash the outside of the egg. The shell is actually where the bacteria are.

    But keep this fact in mind...Rocky drank raw eggs in Rocky I and ended up loosing to Apollo. In Rocky 2 we see him eating cooked eggs...and he ended up winning. So there you go. Cooked is better that raw.

    I wish I liked eggs. Its such a staple for breakfast food. I tried again this week. I got some egg whites with 80 oz of bison. Tried to put them both on fork but started gagging right away. They are so ****ing gross to me.

    Ya I do it almost every single morning and I still gag on almost every egg. I guess I just need to start waking up a lil earlier to cook. Or start hard boiling them by the palette...

    Pasteurised eggs are a really smooth texture. Barely taste of anything too. They make a protein shake nice and creamy. If you can handle the fact you ain't wasting 50% of the protein in them.

    Read once the rate of salmonella from raw eggs is 1/20000. I just was off the outside and have never had a problem. Although I'm only on eg 19446

    This is what I did way back in high school (Mostly because Dan Duchaine said so...). Clean the shell well, and I was good to go. Well, not really. I still had to eat the raw eggs.

    I remember when I was about 14 or 15 my dad and I were watching rocky.
    "Hey dad have you ever eaten raw eggs before," "Of course son, I used to back in the 80's all the time."

    Well i cracked 3 eggs into a glass and chugged.
    never before has something came back up so fast

    Now I makes sure to whisk the eggs lol

    I actually found a way that I like to cook my eggs without doing them on a stove
    I'm sure people have heard of this before
    but i whip them up in a coffee cup an stick them in the mic for bout a minute and a half stirring occasionally
    comes out damn good especially with some seasoning in there

    Just gave this a shot when I got to work this morning. Just added a lil sriracha and it was good to go! Don't know why I've been choking them down raw all this time...
