Raw Eggs

[Drum&Bass]

I've been eating (blending) 4 raw eggs in protein and fish oil for the past 2 weeks, and I love it ! its feels healthy as hell !! but a bunch of co-workers at my gym are telling me its not so healthy and theres salmonella risk.


so whats up ?? cook em' or continue eating them raw which is much more convenient, MUCH MORE NUTRITIOUS except for this thing on biotin ????

p.s. i eat grade AA omega 3 enhanced chicken abortions

To bottomline it, cooked eggs are more bioavailable. You get more bang for your 'cluck', eating your chicken eggs when cooked.

I tried the raw egg thing for a bit...It's not worth it, unless there's 0 time to cook the eggs.

There's a 1/30 000 chance you'll get salmonella or whatever the heck is in it. Even then, the odds of it being dangerous and deadly to you are even slimmer. But it's your body.

really ???

I thought cooking food decreases nutritional value ?? where did you learn that cooking eggs makes them more bio-available ???

Why would anyone eat the eggs in a raw form? Heating the egg protein actually changes its chemical shape, and it is this change in the protein structure which can easily be a cause of allergies. The heating also destroys many of the nutrients and proteins found inside the egg.

Also !

Nearly every food preparation process reduces the amount of nutrients in food. In particular, processes that expose foods to high levels of heat, light, and/or oxygen cause the greatest nutrient loss. Nutrients can also be "washed out" of foods by fluids that are introduced during a cooking process.

I eat stacks of raw eggs. I have had salmonella from them once.. worst two days of my life.

Raw eggs are way more anabolic than cooked eggs (don't need a study to prove this, add 12-24 raw eggs to your daily diet and see what happens in the gym). Keep at 'em.

There is salmonella in you fairly often. Big deal. You've probably had diarrhea from it before and didn't even realize it. What matters is the quantity and your ability to kill it off.

Now a big strong boy like you eating lots of food should have a good strong immune system so even if you eat the 1 in 30,000 egg with salmonella in it, you probably won't even get sick or only mildly.

The eggs with salmonella it's often visible. Look at the egg before you eat it. If it doesn't look normal skip it.

Body builders have been eating these things raw for a long time.

exactly.. a normal, healthy individual shouldn't even be affected by it. if you're very young or very old or already sick you might get it. but otherwise only if your immune system is questionable.

Why are raw eggs more anabolic? Why does cooking eggs make them less anabolic? Not challenging you; just curious.

It's something I have gleaned from personal experience, and the experience of others. I've tried cooked eggs vs raw eggs (at least a dozen a day) and the results have always been in favour of raw eggs as far as strength gains/gym performance was concerned.

I also tend to dramatically increase raw egg intake for short periods of time during intense training cycles (towards the end of a cycle where supercompensation yields the best gains of the entire cycle).

There's plenty of avidin vs biotin/bioavailability arguments floating around but the proof is in the pudding (or eggnog), so to speak.

I also believe raw meat is more anabolic than cooked meat, but I wouldn't go as far as to actually do that.

nice !!! i'm convinced !! i'm gonna stick to my raw eggs thanx boiz

I had a scoop of chocolate mint whey, 4 raw eggs, and like 2 oz of water that i mixed with a hand blender today.

It was really tasty. The eggs added a vanilla flavor hidden behind the chocolate.

SO much better than what i've been doing suffering through choking down hard boiled eggs. Hard yolks are too dry and i'm not particularly fond of eggs in any capacity.

When I get out of cut mode it should be easy enough to be able to add 2-3 more eggs for a meal like this... especially when on the go and i can stick it in a thermos.

A pint of raw eggs with cream is a nice breakfast. It's probably best that you take some digestive enzymes with raw eggs to increase their bioavailability.

I honestly don't think enzymes are necessary with raw foodstuffs.. your body has a training stimulus and it gets the most anabolic source of protein readily (whole egg) available.. it's not going to waste it.

Now, enzymes because of the sheer quantity of food you (should be)/are consuming is another matter..

Limited digestive capacities is a big reason why true hardgainers exist. Similarly that's why huge guys eat huge amounts of food. They got huge because they have the digestive capacity to handle the gross amounts of food they need to get grossly big.

People with poor digestion will need to do certain things (isolate proteins, digestive enzymes, bromelain, papain etc) to progress the huge amounts of food they'll need.

But people with truly poor digestion are rare.. if hitting yourself with 4-5k calories over six months doesn't gain you any weight then you should question your digestive capacity - just saying this in case guys on here eating 2k calories with 100g of protein a day think that they're not getting bigger 'cause their digestive systems suck..

I eat loads of raw egg. You are taking a risk. I'm very healthy and I check the eggs. I was sleeping in the toilet and spewing out both ends at the same time! My stomach contractions were so bad I thought my ribs were going to rip apart. I woud have called an ambulance but I was too weak.

I've been eatting raw eggs lately, and I've been getting some diarrhea. Is that normal?

Wait it out. Your body will likely adjust.

 

[mrRuckus]

Yeah, or just wait for this :

You could also never go to a restaurant and never touch a doorknob again and use wet naps on your steering wheel if you want to avoid all contact with bacteria if your immune system is that pathetic.

americans are scared of germs... ironically, we're creating supergerms by overusing and misusing antibiotics & antiseptics, and little kids are growing up in far-too sterile environments that surely give them weaker immune systems and may also be linked to increased allergic responses (the studies on this are mixed but suggestive).

notice ads rarely refer to "bacteria" or "viruses" -- nearly always "germs" -- a vague terms that sounds like "cooties"... you're bathing in all sorts of bacteria & viruses, fungi & more, ingesting them, and letting them in through every porous surface of your body (basically, every square inch). get over it.

Isn't there a possibility of getting Bird flu by eatting raw eggs.

 

[wolf116]

and I lost 5kgs that took 6 months to get it back

Typical mathematical ignorance leading to fear. Same bullsh1t that has us eagerly willing to give up our rights for an imagined increase in security against events that have almost 0% chance of occurring to us while ignoring actual real threats. Same bullsh1t that leads one to fear flying while driving around on a motorcycle is a-ok.

You're more likely to die driving on the way to work. But yet we still manage to leave the house daily.
