Whole eggs or boiled?

[Jag_Saiyan]

So I have a question. What is the best way to absorb all the protein from your eggs?

Eating it whole (raw) esp. the OMEGA-3 eggs, OR would you boil them?

Boil them, but dont eat to many whole eggs, becuase of the cholesterol levels, so try to find liquid egg whites and cook those up.

where would you find liquid egg whites? thanks

I heard the cholesterol in eggs is the "good cholesterol" aka which lowers the bad.
So I think it's a good idea to eat the whole egg itself.

i drink a lot of raw eggs. never done me any harm. the first thing i do after waking up is put 6 whites and 2 whole eggs in a glass, top it up with milk and down it.
there is a company that sells pure pasteurized egg whites, but imo its a waste of money, when you could just drink them raw anyway.

there is no such a thing as good cholosterol

err... yes there is. high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein-HDL/LDL

Boiled, or scrambled (in a microwave). I never through out the yolk!
Never eat raw eggs. Salmonella doesn't help you build muscle - lol.

true, and the muscle wasting effects of not being able to hold down food/vomiting it straight back up for a while should not be ignored. all im syaing is thta i think the risk is exaggerated. i have been doing it years and never got ill. i would not do it with cheap eggs that i didnt know the source of though, i get mine straight from the farmer, no longer than a couple of days old.

Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL): accumulates in the arteries, eventually hardens and causes stenosis (narrowing) which leads to atheroslcerosis, increased bp, and heart problems.

High Density Lipoprotein (HDL): Most people refer to this as "the good kind or the Healthy cholesterol."

HDL picks up LDL and takes it back to the liver and is eventually excreted.

Notice both are lipoproteins and not 'cholesterol.'


also you only need 300mg/a day
