Cooked egg whites... how long will they keep for?

[|D_J^B_J|]

Okay, now that I am back at uni I am often forced to eat on the go. As a result, I often resort to drinking egg whites as my protein source.

Say I cooked some egg whites with brown rice, and then kept it in the fridge overnight to eat the next day... Would it still be alright? Bear in mind it will spend about 2 and a half hours in my bag before I eat it. What about cooking for two days in advance?

Thoughts?

I think they will be OK. Do you have a Microwave in your Uni? If so, take them frozen and blast them there.

If not, give it a try with a small batch (but keep a protein bar just in case). If you don't leave them under the Sun they should be OK, but cold which makes rice and egss a little nasty...

have you tried those famous Oatmeal pancakes thingies?

Yes, there is a microwave at uni but most of the time I will be eating while I am walking between classes, so won't have enough time to use it. However, on the days I can use it, I will do.

Is it okay to refreeze defrosted eggwhites? Say, I defrost the carton in the fridge, then pour out the amount I need and freeze that. Do you think that will be alright? Lol, I aint no expert on bacteria and how it forms on food...

Oatmeal pancakes?? I sometimes make my own pancakes for breakfast with oatmeal, eggwhites, cinnamon, stevia, vanilla extract and mashed banana... then I top it with SF syrups.

Drinking uncooked eggwhite is ASKING for gastrointestinal problems... BEGGING FOR THEM...


Raw albumin binds to all sorts of stuff you need and tosses it down the shitter. A half dozen vitamins and at least two beneficial bacteria are going bye bye everty time you do that. Its not gonna kill ya tomorrow, but it isnt all that good an idea either.

cook them.

Drinking egg whites =

As for cooking them ahead of time, they won't go bad overnight or even 2 days later..... You may want to just slightly undercook them so when reheating them, they won't turn rubbery on you...

Okay, I won't drink them raw anymore. However, I checked out the uni microwave today, and, to be honest, I'd rather eat food at room temp than use that thing.

So, I'll cook the egg whites with the rice and spices a day or two before, then keep them in the fridge until the morning I leave for uni.

They'll be in my bag for about 2 and a half hours before eating them... Surely no bacteria could form in this time??

boiling the eggs may be better

I buy the egg whites pasteurised in a carton, so boiling them is not possible.

Can you buy a small insulated cooler?? You know, the small-ish ones?? You can keep them in there with an ice pack....

As for the bacteria -- bacteria forms constantly under most conditions, but it won't have multiplied at a level that would hurt you in 2 hours.... so, I think you'll be OK...

Oh, and the uni microwave =

That Uni Microwave sure sound like a nasty thang...

you sure you didn't open a Petri dish instead???
