Raw Eggs

[420]

Does anybody here like to down raw eggs? Never done it before. Just curious what you dudes think about it?

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_egg

Eggs can be pickled, hard-boiled, soft-boiled, scrambled, fried and refrigerated. They can also be eaten raw, though this is not recommended for people who may be especially susceptible to salmonella, such as the elderly, the infirm, or pregnant women. In addition, the protein in raw eggs is only 51% bio-available, whereas that of a cooked egg is nearer 91% bio-available, meaning the protein of cooked eggs is nearly twice as absorbable as the protein from raw eggs.

i drink raw egg whites, easier than cooking them

im not so sure about this


the protein in raw eggs is only 51% bio-available, whereas that of a cooked egg is nearer 91% bio-available,

maybe 5151 can chime in

The egg whites you eat raw, legaliz3, are they from a carton? If so, they've prolly been pasteurized which should make them as available as cooked, but if raw from the shell, I do believe that you'll be short changing yourself.

Thats correct! (chris farley voice from Billy Madison) Egg whites in a carton can be consumed safely and are highly bioavailable because they have been pasteurized. They have been heat treated so that the bacteria does not survive and the enzymes stay in tact. Good call aladdin.

i dont eat raw eggs i like them cooked. and i have also heard that they are better when cooked as far as protein goes

yep from a carton, thanks costco

:bch
yep from a carton, thanks costco


DUDE! COSTCO EGG WHITES ALL THE WAY!!! SO CHEAP AND SO CONVENIENT!! holla!

Crazy how you get more protein after cooking..

[Amoral]

yep from a carton, thanks costco

How much do they cost?

[Houstonbc]

3x500ml for about $6...if i remember right

[waderow]

eating raw egg whites is (for most) very bad for gas. i will not take raw eggwhites, for i could easily fool a cadaver dog into thinking there is a dead hooker up my ass

its all about enzymes. heating up food, for short periods of time, and not at extreme high temperatures alters enzymes to make the food more bioavailable, this is especially true for fresh vegetables.

costco charges $4.69 i believe for 3x500 ml cartons

Guys, some are close on here but not completely correct.....
A couple things happen that can be negative eating raw eggs......
First and worst and most common is.....Biotin deficiency, raw egg whites contain avidan, which attaches to biotin and will wreak havoc on your innards...big time, the yolk has some biotin in it which can help off set a tad, but raw whites are bad....
Pasteurizing is a good way to alleviate this...
#2. Salmonella....very bad, i had it from raw eggs when i used to eat 30 plus per day...not good..lost 13 lbs in half a week and took a long time to recover...like many months for all guts to normalize and not turn everything to acid..
So eat pateurized if eating raw..

ya as soon as its cutting time i think i will be chuggin egg whites from the carton for breakfast along with some cooked rolled oats. Does anybody ever incorporate egg whites into a shake of some sort? Probably tastes like shit. Anybody know how to make them a little more delectable?

[#8]

ive had the same breakfast every day for 3 years now....

250ml/250g eggwhite
1 scoop isolate OR 1 scoop muscle milk (tastes much better)
2 packets instant oatmeal (no sugar)
half a cup water
several ice cubes
fresh fruit if you have it

this is the best start to the day meal and takes only about 1 minute to make. solid oatmeal and fruit carbs in the morning get you going and a good mix of whey and albumin protein for timed release goodness. you wont feel hungry for at least 2 hours afterward :)

edit* forgot to add this is all blended up and i drink it :)

^^Breakfast of champions.

Im a lazy bastard when i wake up so that meal sounds perfectly easy.

[ironwill]

blender,
ice,
1 cup frozen fruit,
3/4 cup probiotic yogurt
1 scoop pro powder
1 cup egg whites (pasteurized)
1 T olive oil
some milk
waxy maise or oats for a bit of extra carbs if needed..
good for about 2 hrs after until nxt meal....

[spankmonkey]

have used pasturized egg whites for years (vanderpol egg whites $40.00 for 8L).
Use to eat raw and have never had any issues, just takes too much time to crack and seperate.

Anybody know how to make them a little more delectable?whip them into a maringue with some splenda, just like eating maringue from a pie

try it dude, i guarantee you will be hooked. it gives you such good energy in the morning and nothing beats it for convenience. IW puts yogurt in which i have done as well which also tastes very good. pretty much any flavour will go with any combination of fruit, and protein powder. just experiment with what you like.

i pay 3.35$ for 2x500ml at cosco.

Eggs can be pickled, hard-boiled, soft-boiled, scrambled, fried and refrigerated. They can also be eaten raw, though this is not recommended for people who may be especially susceptible to salmonella, such as the elderly, the infirm, or pregnant women. In addition, the protein in raw eggs is only 51% bio-available, whereas that of a cooked egg is nearer 91% bio-available, meaning the protein of cooked eggs is nearly twice as absorbable as the protein from raw eggs.

Quote:"meaning the protein of cooked eggs is nearly twice as absorbable as the protein from raw eggs",
I thought It was the other way around, even with meat,

[Ritch]

My body can`t handle it for some reason. The gas was too much. Even for a guy like me who loves farting and stinking people out of a room. It lasted nearly all day and no more than a few minutes between farts. And off 1 shake only with egg whites.

Mix it in your protein shake, and drink it fast.

Yes you can eat raw eggs/whites, but the whole eggs or carton eggs must be pasteurized (it will say so on the carton). Pasteurization is when they heat the egg/egg product enough to kill all the bacteria (including salmonella) and the protein digestion inhibitors (usually126-140 degrees). If you eat non-pasteurized eggs/egg products your body cannot utilize the protein in them due to the presence of a protein inhibitor. And while you may get salmonella from raw eggs/egg product the chances are 1 in 10,000 for regular eggs and 1 in 30,000 for free range eggs.

Avidin is a glycoprotein, which is found in raw egg whites, and blocks the uptake of Vitamin B6 and Vitamin H (Biotin) causing a vitamin deficiency (it binds to Biotin and iron making them unavailable). You must cook/pasteurize the egg white to neutralize the Avidin and allow your body to safely digest the protein and utilize all its amino acids. Cooking egg whites at high temperatures denatures some of the amino acids which makes the proteins slightly less effective (slower digesting). A soft boiled or poached egg (at 70% albumin coagulation) is digested much easier as opposed to a fried or hard boiled egg. 2 soft boiled/poached eggs spend less than 2 hours in the stomach being digested, where 2 fried/hard boiled eggs spend over 3 hours in the stomach. Although fried/hard cooked eggs are digested just as completely as soft cooked eggs, it just takes longer for them to be completely digested and assimilated.

An egg white is about 10% protein and 90% water. It’s the proteins that cause the egg white to solidify when you cook it. Egg white proteins are long chains of amino acids. In a raw egg, these proteins are curled and folded to form a compact ball. Weak bonds between amino acids hold the proteins in this shape—until you turn up the heat. When heated, the weak bonds break and the protein unfolds. Then its amino acids form weak bonds with the amino acids of other proteins, a process called coagulation. The resulting network of proteins captures water, making a soft, digestible gel.

If you keep the heat turned up too high or too long when you cook an egg, the proteins in the egg white form more and more bonds, squeezing some of the water out of the protein network and making the egg white rubbery and increasing their digestion time.

So, basically the most bioavailable and readily assimilated egg proteins are either pasteurized raw eggs/egg products or soft cooked/poached eggs that have not reached 160 degrees at which point the proteins become coagulated/denatured and take longer to be completely digested and assimilated.

I cant stand the taste and texture of it
