Raw eggs

[Psaletta]

Does anyone still eat raw eggs? I know you get more protein if you cook them but sometimes I don't have time or don't want to wake up the kids by banging around the kitchen. Straight ROCKY style!! Haha

I wouldn't. Too dangerous, not worth the risk imo, not to mention, as you pointed out, eggs have better bioavailability when slightly cooked.

I do however eat raw cartoned egg whites daily. They're pasteurized, therefore gtg. Also, the pasteurization process heats them enough to kill the enzyme responsible for 'blocking' some of the protein from being absorbed.

Do you just add to your shake?

Most of the time, yes. Lately I've just been using egg whites in place of water... literally just shaking up protein powder in egg whites and chugging em.

lol, it does seem nasty at first, but honestly, there's no taste and the consistency is hardly thicker than water... I don't even think about it now.

A little... but protein shakes are kinda gross anyways so a little gelatinous liquid in there isn't going to big me much.

I used to do the same thing, about 4oz almond milk, and 8 oz egg whites...I promise you this, it'd make u think about it 45 minutes later...have me HORRIBLE gas. Eye burning gas ha

lol yup... one big drawback to egg whites. Such a quality protein source though, it's worth it. Well, almost. My wife would beg to differ.

I do the same thing and have even drank them right from the carton.

I thought I was the only one, I just pound em right out of the lil containers, my gf thinks im nuts. I actually think it tastes pretty good.

Also curious how cooking an egg can increase its protein content?

Bro that is straight beast mode.....i guess dont knock it till you try it.....my diet is so ****ing monotoneous im so over it.....maybe ill spice it up with some egg whites lol.

[thehaas10]

Norm just buy the 5 dozen egg carton from walmart and hardboil them all in one sitting throw em in a bowl and toss em in the fridge....

It's not that cooking an egg increases it's protein content, but rather, its protein's bioavailability. I'll try and dig up an article I read that explains it perfectly, but in short there is an enzyme that inhibits some of the protein from being absorbed. Heating eggs to a certain temperature (160 degree's? Can't remember) destroys this enzyme thus 'unlocking' the protein. Pasteurization takes care of this as well.

lol, I hear ya bro. I'm pretty much over my entire diet lol.
