    Egg Whites

    Does anyone know of a way to cut back on the smell that microwaved egg whites makes while cooking? I prefer to use the frying pan but when I'm short on time I have no choice and it smells horrible.

    Yup thats what i do now. Was cooking them every morning but got tired of that, much faster/convenient to just chug em. very little taste too just slightly salty.

    Does the way your body processes the egg whites in liquid form differ from the way if would if they were cooked?

    not if they are pastuerized, though you will obviously feel more full if you cook them due to more bulk

    in what way? they are digested more quickly due to higher surface area but the amount of protein available doesn't change if that is what you mean, maybe i wasn't clear in my last post

    I was under the assumption cooked egg whites were more bioavailable and assimulted better than liquid eggs whites?

    But your saying the amount of protein the body uses, doesnt change?

    cooking eggs is as fast as microwaving them the only big difference is the way you have to watch them
