Eggs

[coreygb]

How many people here eat them raw? I'd like to be able to eat more eggs, but I dont have the time, cooking skills, or desire to clean the dishes every day. So, I was wondering how many of you eat them raw, and if you have ever gotten sick. Fear of sickness is keeping me from eating raw eggs. Thanks!

You can buy pasteurized eggs if you are concerned about sickness.

I would be more concerned with bioavailability and wasting your money. The protein from raw eggs is about 51% absorbed, vs. 91% for cooked eggs.

Absorbed = measured free amino acids in circulation, cooked vs. raw. See Study:

HAHAHA I was thinking the same thing. On another note, what i do is put in a blender 3 raw eggs in with 2 scoops of O.N.protein some ANPB and it tastes great. OHH and u will have to wash the blender.....sorry bro!!

I got salmonella when I was younger from undercooked eggs. It was nasty and I got really really sick. The doctors were not sure what I had so they just gave me a high dose of penicillian before the test results came back. Afterwards they told me if they had waited any longer to give me the antibiotics I would have died. I stay away from totally raw eggs now but I still can't resist an overeasy egg. The risk is really small and I think I was just unlucky.

Ive actually seen people microwave their eggs...nit sure if this takes from the nutritional values of your eggs. They get extremely fluffy tho.

Only reason i will avoid raw egg white is due to the avidin in egg white inhibiting biotin absorption.

Eating eggs raw is a load of crap.

Why eat snot? Do yourself a favour and cook them, and add a bit of cheese!
