So has anyone actually drunk an egg?

I tried raw drinking eggs one time but couldn't do it because the raw taste was disgusting. It is true that the chance of getting salmonella are very small but I still wouldn't recommend doing it.

With that being said I have bought some of the liquid eggs whites before (all of the protein and none of the fat). It can be cooked or even drank because it's pasteurized. I think that it comes in really handy if you're on the go and need some quick protein.

Cooking about 10 eggs to get the right amount of protein that i need in a meal is probably going to take 15 minutes or so to prepare and cook. Then it takes me another 10 minutes or so to eat them. Then after that I have to clean up all the mess that I made which takes another 10 minutes. But with the liquid egg whites I can just drink the same amount of protein within like 5 minutes. Sure it tastes a little nasty but it's not nearly as nasty as the raw ones. Also if you want to, you could mix it up with some juice or something. I've never tried it myself but the back of the carton recommends it.

 

yes once about 5 years ago where i was 15 i cracked an egg and drunk that mofo, and about 3 hours later i was sick. ukke

 

weak immune system?:huh

 

Entirely pointless.

 

No reason not to cook your eggs.

I always crack an egg or two in my smoothies.
Hard boiled eggs are an awesome snack to take to work.
I been eating a lot of omelets lately. 3 eggs and a little milk or cream, whip that **** up and cook it slowly in a pan. Brilliant.

I knew a guy who was eating upwards of 40 egg whites a day (crazy ****ing body builders), there was nothing wrong with him. My only question was, what the **** do you do with the 40 yolks?

 

Eat them.

 

I used to drink six raw in the morning out of convenience. Crack them in a glass whisk them up then add a dash of water to help them go down easy. 7 grams of protein in each egg.

 

Yes, Ive drank raw eggs and yes it was because I was young and stupid and Rocky was cool. I perfer them hard boiled now. I actually have 3 hens so I get my eggs fresh and i know what theyre being fed.

Oh, and I chase them around the yard cause mick says if I can catch them I can catch greased lightning

 

I disagree. Cooking eggs actually oxidizes the cholesterol which is dangerous to our health. Since most on here do not listen to me I will provide you guys with a study. I don't just speak out of my ass. Raw eggs are the healthiest eggs.

"We should not be concerned with the amount of cholesterol ingested
in high cholesterol foods but we should be more concerned
with whether or not the cholesterol is oxidized,
especially now that it is widely known that oxidized
LDL is the culprit in causing atherosclerosis. Oxidized
cholesterol can not only result in ulceration and rupture
of plaques which can lead to thrombosis13 but some
oxidized cholesterol products have also been found to
be carcinogenic.14,15
Aside from autooxidization in air, the most powerful
method of oxidizing cholesterol is by heat. Heated egg
yolk and milk can produce atheromas in hamsters,
an animal known to be resistant to atherosclerosis.16
Today’s egg industry puts out eggs free of oxidation
products. In rabbit feeding, fried or hard-boiled eggs
produced the highest serum cholesterol (10 to 14 times
the experimental level). Scrambled eggs increase cholesterol
six to seven times above the preexperimental
level, and soft boiled eggs increase it by only three to
four times.4 Other high cholesterol foods such as milk
fat become oxidized during the pasteurization process.
Powdered milk is exceptionally high in oxidization
products. Cheeses exposed to air for long periods during
processing and stored at room temperature are
likely to contain significant toxic cholesterol oxidation
products.
Thus, if we wish to minimize the ingestion of oxidized
cholesterol, we should prepare our eggs to be soft
boiled or soft fried (‘‘sunny side up’’). These eggs still
have small amounts of oxidized cholesterol and they
are therefore a compromise. Our milk products should
be either non-fat or contain 1% fat. For those whose
fear of the small amount of cholesterol in a minimally
heated egg yolk is too strong for comfort, there are
available whole egg substitutes. The egg yolk is removed
and the egg white is sold with yellow color
added in the form of beta-carotine which our bodies
turn into vitamin A. These are available in all supermarkets
and in many American restaurants, the most
popular being ‘‘Eggbeaters.’’ Egg whites are a high
protein food that contains all the vitamins and minerals
of the whole egg. One-quarter cup contains even a
greater vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin E, B6,
and B12 content than the whole egg. They may also be
preferred by the calorie conscious person because they
have only about one-third the calories of the whole egg."

 

Raw eggs strips biotin (a B vitamin) that causes health problems! A method around this is lightly poach them till the white starts to change colour , then drop them in your protein shake.

 

Since there seem to be lots of ambiguous and confusing advantages & disadvantages, it seems that when training alternating between cooked and raw eggs a few times a week is a good mix up for protein and vitamin intake.

 

Eat 20 of them, and save the other 20 yolks with the 20 accompanying whites in their shells for tomorrow. That will provide you with exactly as much protein as 40 egg whites, and there is no unnecessary waste of yolks. It would also eliminate your need for vitamin supplements, as the yolk is loaded with vitamins. I guess a man big enough to eat 20 eggs can deal with 100 grams of fats, of which only half are saturated, the so called "bad fats" that aren't actually bad at all. Unless he's an alien from outer space whose body does not require fats to function properly.

I'm not saying anyone should eat 20 eggs a day, but if you decide to do so there's no reason to throw away half and egg and eat double the amount to compensate for that.

 

You can buy egg whites in cartons.

 

How useful, I prefer the whole egg for numerous reasons.

 

Yeah you've mentioned this plenty of times, I'm just saying some people that have 20 egg whites a day aren't throwing away 20 yokes necessarily.

For me there's no reason not to have the whole thing.
