[allday54]

This might sound dumb but is it safe to drink raw eggs? I'm really getting tired of constantly cooking them and cleaning the damn pans!!

i read a study where the nutrient factor increased once eggs were cooked...

I'm too lazy to cook the eggs and clean the pan too, so I eat them raw. I just crack the egg, dump the white down the drain, and swallow the yolk whole. Haven't been doing it for very long, only like 6 months, and I only eat about a dozen a week because they are anywhere near as delicious as steak.

Personally, I think that the risk of contamination is greatly exaggerated. I have an electric grill that I cook a steak on almost every night and I haven't washed that thing once in the more than a year that I've had it. But then again, I am one of those people who pretty much never gets sick. I've been sick like once in the past 5 years, and that's only because both coworkers sitting next to me can in sick two days in a row. Even then, all I got was a mild runny nose and other than that felt fine.

I use to chuck a whole raw egg in my protein shake all the time. Never got sick.

I think you have an ever so slightly higher risk of some types of food poisoning but its not significant and if you get fresh quality eggs probably none existent.

Ratiocinative ... you must have a super immune system or something ... your still gross tho ... you realise that at night your house ****roaches are having a gourmet dinner eating the fat you leave out for them ...

Also read this....much more beneficial to cook them. Plus eating eggs raw is just gross lol

You could try pasteurized egg whites (out of a bottle). These are completely safe to drink raw.

I normally put 250 mls of egg white, 100mls of water, 2 scoops of choc protein and 1 table spoon of coco in a shaker and have them. It tastes good.

Why not clean?

Right

Pay the extra cash and get egg whites in a container that are pasteurized, I personally do this and drink 36 ounces daily. Your problems are solved.

1/10000 chance of salmonella last time I checked. Although I have heard you absorb the protein better when it is cooked. Plus who doesn't like scrambled eggs?

avidin binding to biotin in uncooked whites.

Ever try hard-boiling a bunch of eggs at once? Cleaning (yes, you will have to eventually) a large saute pan and adequate cooking oil, hot enough to make 'em bubble and sizzle and seal, if you did it right they should scrape off clean from a non-non-stick (stainless steel recommended) pan.

Why would you throw out the white? That's the part with most of the protein!

[MDiocre]

I get an 18 pack of large eggs at the store and hardboil em all. These i snack on throughout days.

I also get 2 large cartons of eggbeater whites, or even the white+yellow eggbeaters (same 0 cholesterol as the all whites, same protein, same everything, just more vitamins and minerals). These are all drinken in their lqiuid form in shakes.

I dont cook eggs anymore, and the ease of comsumption has allowed me to have more than ever. My farts have also been off the hook, which my GF is super happy about.

I eat 1.5-2lb of steak almost every day, and steak in just cow muscle, so I see no reason to worry about my protein intake. I'm more concerned about increasing my vitamin D, saturated fat, and cholesterol intake, though not to imply that I'm very worried about those either, otherwise I'd eat more than 1 or 2 eggs a day.

A little shot of Pam keeps eggs from sticking .. heat the pan up before putting eggs in, keeps them from sticking .. run water into the pan immediately after taking out the eggs and a scrubby pad and whatever might be sticking comes right off .. all three methods take seconds and or cost next to nothing ..

raw eggs aren't a danger (imho) but darn it's gross

[SupremeMMA]

Egg Whites International has pretty good egg whites but I prefer to cook them rather than drink them.

I have heard the same and always boil them. And do not need to clean the pan!

[GreenEarth]

I would just keep cooking, even if it annoys you. Drinking eggs just isn't an enjoyable experience, and quite honestly I find enjoying what you eat to be a very good basis for keeping your sanity.

Assuming you're eating eggs on higher-fat days, cook some bacon in the pan first, then use the hot grease to cook the eggs sunny-side-up-over-hard style...eggs cooked in bacon grease are the most incredible tasting eggs in the world lol.

I've eaten raw eggs for years and never got sick. I've understood that the problem with the raw eggs is the egg white which contains enzyme inhibitors. So, now I eat the yolks raw and I cook the whites. Does anyone know if the yolks are even better cooked, nutritionally I mean?

Personally I love the taste of raw yolk, even more than cooked ones.

[Gokmog]

I think with yolks you've got a situation where the de-naturing process of cooking doesn't increase their nutritional quality because the plethora of enzymes from the raw state can do so much to pre-digest foods. Steak tartar, for example. The ground steak begins to melt, liquify, if left at room temperature. Ever make aiolis or mayonnaise, PrimiFit?
