Egg whites

[lithium1189]

Just curious to know how other people eat em. Taste gets old very quickly, so anyone want to share their egg white recipes?

Drink them mofos with a scoop of whey

I add them to my oats in the morning. 4 whites and oatmeal and microwave. Very good. Gets protein and fiber all in one. Need it a little sweeter? Add a pinch of truvia and its perfect.

Drink em with whey... I do this sooooo often and I will add tblspoon flax oil a well

 

[Peterlumberjack]

yup buy the cartons and drink with whey as a meal

There was a study that showed drinking egg whites only gives you 50% of the protein, cooking it will give you 90%+ of the protein, unless you go and get the liquid pasteurized egg white then its ok to drink.

That sounds like an interesting idea. So do the eggs solidify, like an oatmeal omelet?

I put pasteurized egg whites in everything... 1/2 cup in my iced coffee every morning... 1/2 cup on my Kellogg's ProteinPlus cereal... Added to protein shakes...

They don't really add any taste. Makes the coffee kind of creamy.

As for the protein values of raw vs cooked, I recall reading somewhere just the opposite. Something about cooking breaking down the protein. Either way, for me, liquid whites are easy to incorporate into any meal.

Cooked is more digestable than raw:

Yup, thats the one i was talking about..
Good find.

 

[roguemonkeyjr]

I cook 8 whites and put some ANPB on that most people find it weird but I love it!

Worthless to drink lucky if you get gram of protien that way.

Gotta be cooked.

 

[glassmaster]

no good to drink even if there pastureised?

Good question but my guess is no, pateurizing doesn't make them more digestable. The heat is not high enough to cook the egg. I don't know exactly why cooked eggs are more digestable, but cooking causes changes in the protein (denaturization) that causes liquid egg white to solidify for example. Pasteurizing kills some microorganisms, but doesn't cook the egg and so probably doesn't change the digestability. (I don't know of any data about digestability of raw pasteurized egg however).

I load them up with cayenne pepper while cooking/scrambling. Adds a nice spice and flavor. You could also add onion/garlic powder or fresh onion/tomatoes.

I've been eating mine with a ton of cayenne pepper and really enjoy.

So no good to drink egg whites? Iv been downing 10 egg whites pw for over a month and been mixing them in shakes for almost a year.. I thought the less u cook it the more nutritious it is.

Negitive son!

Luckey if you getta gram of protien

Can anyone back this up?? This can't be true..

Abstract

Egg proteins contribute substantially to the daily nitrogen allowances in Western countries and are generally considered to be highly digestible. However, information is lacking on the true ileal digestibility of either raw or cooked egg protein. The recent availability of stable isotope–labeled egg protein allowed determination of the true ileal digestibility of egg protein by means of noninvasive tracer techniques. Five ileostomy patients were studied, once after ingestion of a test meal consisting of 25 g of cooked 13C- and 15N-labeled egg protein, and once after ingestion of the same test meal in raw form. Ileal effluents and breath samples were collected at regular intervals after consumption of the test meal and analyzed for 15N- and 13C-content, respectively. The true ileal digestibility of cooked and raw egg protein amounted to 90.9 ± 0.8 and 51.3 ± 9.8%, respectively. A significant negative correlation (r = −0.92, P < 0.001) was found between the 13C-recovery in breath and the recovery of exogenous N in the ileal effluents. In summary, using the 15N-dilution technique we demonstrated that the assimilation of cooked egg protein is efficient, albeit incomplete, and that the true ileal digestibility of egg protein is significantly enhanced by heat-pretreatment. A simple 13C-breath test technique furthermore proved to be a suitable alternative for the evaluation of the true ileal digestibility of egg protein.

i was under impression raw eggs where more nutritious .... WTF

 

[TheRippedReverend]

Whos knows 20 yeaes later we'll find out it is but for now this is what we know

 

[Soulthief]

When I started working out, 25 years ago, our coaches told us to drink 4 raw eggs in a glass of milk after each workout. I doubt they had any reasoning behind it. HAHA

Wasted years of eggs bro

 

[Joanna80]

I tend to drink them with protein powder as I really don't enjoy the taste of cooked egg whites. I used to cook up egg white omelettes but the taste got pretty boring quite quickly!

Not that great for your cholesterol :-(

 

[dylangemelli]

I eat 30 egg whites a day... I cook mine with a scoop of peanut butter crunch whey, small amounts of peanut butter and on one meal i cover them in oatmeal and i cant get enough of it

 

[Bardock]

drinking egg whites raw is the best

 

[Jigga14]

Actually the protein content in raw eggs is much less than cooked. Cooking creates a chemical reaction that makes the protein content much more bio available. We had a thread a bout this a couple months back

 

[Jigga14]

Actually it was this thread lol

 

[lithium1189]

Actually it was this thread lol

Lol that made me laugh abit.

So no good to drink egg whites even if pasteurized ?
