would a couple raw egg whites in your protein shake after gym be that bad?

it would be no worse then eating a couple of raw egg whites at any other time..but eating raw eggs is never the most healthy thing to be done. Many people do it, but there are certainly health risks involved. Most likely it wont affect you, but it COULD.

Its not going to hurt you but you do realize that raw eggs even the whites cannot be digested by the body unless they are cooked. You might as well drink a glass of water. Also, when you don't cook eggs there is an amino acid in them that robs your body of biotin and cause hair to shed etc. Cook them or use something else, trust me bro that is an old school method.

I always wondered if pasteurization was enough to make the egg whites more bioavailable. Since I'm not a raw egg eater I've never looked into it.

I will see if I can find the info, but here is piece of an article that I was reading

"What's the difference in LIQUID verses RAW egg whites?

The human body cannot digest a raw egg white. So, if you like to do the "Rocky Routine" with a raw egg or raw egg white in your drink, you are wasting your time. Because of the Avidin found in a raw egg white, your body cannot digest a raw egg white. Not to mention the threat of Salmonella. You must cook the egg white to neutralize the Avidin and allow your body to digest the protein. Too much Avidin in your system can cause a Biotin deficiency. "
