Raw Eggs?

[this_dude_55]

Is there anything wrong w/ consuming raw eggs w/ protein shake? I just remember someone saying a long time ago that raw eggs weren't good for you. Just figured I would ask. Thanks.

 

[this_dude_55]

Thanks. Would actually prefer them raw since easiar then cooking them. lol.

I prefer to eat them raw too, mostly because cooking them stinks up my apartment to hell, even hard-boiling them.

How do you eat them? You just drink them down? Should you do it after a workout since it has lots of protein?

 

[Master Bates]

You do it whenever you'd normally take protein. And yeah, you just drink it down. Don't chew!

 

[HandyAndy]

lol i dont think i can handle that

WBA says raw eggs are more anabolic that regular eggs.

I have paranoia issues with salmonella so this is how I prepare em:

bring small amount of water to boil. Turn off heat and crack eggs into to water. Stir. Put in freezer for faster cooling. Enjoy.

Organic eggs supposedly are salmonella free due to the ultra-pasteurization process they need to go through.

Eh?

 

[HandyAndy]

well how do you know what quality eggs are like? Package wise.

 

[Master Bates]

It really doesn't have any taste at all.

It took me longer to master raw eggs than drinking EVOO straight from the bottle.

You guys actually drink the eggs without mixing it with anything? If I tried to do that I'd probably throw up.

No they blend them into their shake. No taste.

 

[this_dude_55]

Okay. Let's say I eat one with salmonella. What happens?

 

[wolf116]

2 days of spewing from both ends. The gains are worth the small risk. Raw eggs are the best diet thing that I could actually see results from. I'm on 24 a day.

Another question do benefit more from them being cooked or raw??????

raw (liquid) will certainly hit your system faster, particularly if you're taking them post-workout.

cooked is supposedly more bioavailable (you get more protein out of each egg).

WBA claims that raw eggs are more anabolic.

salmonella sucks, but i've never gotten it from raw eggs, only cross-contamination or food left out too long.

I use to eat my eggs raw, I even posted about it, but now I prefer to cook them.

I talk with my co-workers (all certified trainers who have been in the biz for years) about alot of the nutrition topics mentioned here and I have a totally different view about everything on these forums.

raw (liquid) will certainly hit your system faster, particularly if you're taking them post-workout.

much easier/better to have a whey isolate supplement.

much easier/better to have a whey isolate supplement.

it worked before anyone figured out how to isolate whey, and it's still worthy in a pinch. but, granted, that it comes with fat you'd rather avoid postworkout.

i'm sure your certified trainer friends have different opinions. that's the beauty of opinions -- everyone has one.

Yeah, man. Salmonella comes from filthy cages and filthier hens. Since organic eggs come from hens that are treated much better and live a far cleaner lifestyle, the risk of salmonella is almost nil.

I understand that, but that's not ultra-pasteurisation. You can't pasteurise an egg in its shell without cooking it. But yeah, I only eat organic eggs raw.
