It taste a little nasty, but I did it and yeah I got some okay gains. I have no clue about the health issues though, sorry bro.

I heard taking it in raw is no good cause of the bacteria or something like that.

Probly not the healthiest choice w/ the whole salmonella thing, it causes typhoid fever. It was more of a fad around the time of the Rocky movies.
It's definitely quicker than cooking them, and ive never known anyone whos gotten sick from salmonella. But hey if you dont mind the taste, and wanna take the chance, go for it.

Personally i eat just the eggwhites, cooked. The white contains the protein and very little, if any, fat. The yolk has really no nutritional purpose and they're very high in bad cholesterol. The yolk is one of the main ingredients in alot of fatty foods like mayonnaise, really wanna eat that?

tell you a trick i learned.

find a baker's supply shop - it'll take some doing, but they're out there.

go and ask if they sell pasteurized egg whites: most places do, as they're integral to industrial baking. they're free of samonella, etc (all the bad stuff with eggs) and you can drink them.

i was going through about a gallon a week for a while but have cut back in favour of meat.

just have to explain to people why you have a jug of what looks like piss sitting in your fridge. thats up to you.

yeah, it looked cool in ROCKY but not a good idea. Some of the heat cooking it also improves it's digestability.

Actually the possability of contracting samonilla is like one in 1mil if you are healthy and raw eggs are full of enzymes to aid in digestion. this means your pancrease will not have to produce protayze to digests the protein which will conserve metabolic energy for more important things, like building muscle.

personally i have used eggs whites for years as a souce of protein. I am on the road alot so have recently started using pasturized eggs from a company called Vanderpool Eggs (look them up on the net). there are also some good companies who make powdered egg whites like Now. I usually try to stick with fresh when at home just for the help with digestion. on a side note enzymes are very heat sensitive and so are completely destroyed in the cooking process.

I say this because I do want to know where the eggs are really coming from so it was a general statement, as for enzymes...sure, med to high heat not the heat I or most use for eggs.

I did some research on this a while back cause throwing raw eggs in a shake was really easy and I didn't find it too hard to choke them back.

According to what I read, you DO run the risk of getting significantly sick from a bad egg. I've also heard from other people on other forums about this happening to them. I found statistics from two different studies on this - one listed the "bad" rate at around 1 in 25,000, and the other found it to be closer to 1 in 100,000, or something close to that.

Bottom line - there are risks, but heaps of people eat raw eggs as standard and you should be fine. Nowadays I just poach or scramble them. I'm one of those lucky guys who actually really likes the taste of eggs.

why not try the Egg Beaters Egg Whites? They're in the dairy and egg sections of the grocery store. They don't taste funky at all, just a plain kind of taste. You will not choke on them. I think the cartons are 16 ounces and 2 oz are equivalent to one egg. I drink them straight/raw for my early a.m. protein. Try it, it's easy to use.

Actually the proteins in eggs are digested easier when cooked. The higher digestibility of cooked egg protein presumably results from structural changes in the protein molecule induced by heating, thereby enabling the digestive enzymes to gain broader access to the peptide bonds...

There are no digestive enzymes left once the egg is cooked according to Dr. Edward Howell in his book Enzyme Nutrition. this is a must read for any bodybuilder imo. look it up, this guy was/is te foremost authority on enzyme therapy and has cured some uncurable diseases. Cool stuff.

I hear ya bro, but in terms of overall digestion... It has been shown that the reduced digestibility of raw egg white is at least partially related to the presence of the trypsin inhibitors which are present in uncooked raw egg whites.

Ya careful man, you can get sick with some serious shit if you eat raw eggs. Some people can get away with it but I wouldn't take the chance. Down time being sick from raw eggs means down time from iron. Unless you feel like puking and shitting yourself at the gym.

Do not drink the eggs, it tastes nasty and there is bacteria aka salmonella when they are raw, its not life threatining, but it sucks.
ya just cant drink em every day, once a week is fine but the more you drink em the more you risk it
you can just buy egg whites in the store and drink those, they are safe

besides, youre not a boxer anyways, lol

I keep a couple of cartons of All Whites in the fridge all the time. They can be found in any grocery store. If im cooking i deffinately prefer to use real eggs but if something sudden comes up i just grab a carton and down it 50g protein quick and easy. They aren't thick or slimy at all (maybe a little bit bitter in taste but nothin a lil spleda cant fix).

I wish those weren't so damn expensive... or that I wasn't so cheap I guess. My parents make me pay for off the wall shit I need (that they don't...) like splenda, sweet potatoes, protein powder, egg whites, etc. They generally hook me up with my milk, wheat bread, eggs, pastas, oatmeal and whatnot.

TheBlacksmith
01-21-07, 6:00 pm
They're more expensive than regular eggs no doubt about it. About $2.39 for 1 16oz. carton. But just think of all the money wasted on buying shit ass supps that don't do a damn thing for ya..... thats a whole lotta All Whites.

the problem with raw eggs isn't really one of health but more of digestability. when the egg is raw, only about %50 of the protein is usable by the body. there is an enzime in the egg that binds to the protein making them undugestable. it isn't untill you heat the egg and de-nature the enzime in the egg that it will be come %98 usable. so cook them or their useless

Even if raw eggs were 100% safe to eat, why would you eat em like that? They taste like shit.

J-Dawg is right the human body doesnt break down eggs enough during digestion to get anything outta them. if your into the egg thing Universal has poweder eggs for protein. but it does make you feel like the italian stallion firein down a few raw eggs

Obviously everybody knows that eggs whites are the best form of protein.

I was wondering, if eating a raw egg is good to do?

Ive read a couple articles, but some tell me yes, and others tell me no.


What you guys think?

02-11-07, 12:28 am
Even if it really wasn't THAT bad for you, it certainly isn't any better than cooked, if you're really tight on time just throw em in the microwave for like 2-3 minutes that's all you need

Yes you can eat raw eggs/whites, but the whole eggs or carton eggs must be pasteurized (it will say so on the carton). Pasteurization is when they heat the egg/egg product enough to kill all the bacteria (including salmonella) and the protein digestion inhibitors (usually126-140 degrees). If you eat non-pasteurized eggs/egg products your body cannot utilize the protein in them due to the presence of a protein inhibitor. And while you may get salmonella from raw eggs/egg product the chances are 1 in 10,000 for regular eggs and 1 in 30,000 for free range eggs.

Avidin is a glycoprotein, which is found in raw egg whites, and blocks the uptake of Vitamin B6 and Vitamin H (Biotin) causing a vitamin deficiency (it binds to Biotin and iron making them unavailable). You must cook/pasteurize the egg white to neutralize the Avidin and allow your body to safely digest the protein and utilize all its amino acids. Cooking egg whites at high temperatures denatures some of the amino acids which makes the proteins slightly less effective (slower digesting). A soft boiled or poached egg (at 70% albumin coagulation) is digested much easier as opposed to a fried or hard boiled egg. 2 soft boiled/poached eggs spend less than 2 hours in the stomach being digested, where 2 fried/hard boiled eggs spend over 3 hours in the stomach. Although fried/hard cooked eggs are digested just as completely as soft cooked eggs, it just takes longer for them to be completely digested and assimilated.

An egg white is about 10% protein and 90% water. It?s the proteins that cause the egg white to solidify when you cook it. Egg white proteins are long chains of amino acids. In a raw egg, these proteins are curled and folded to form a compact ball. Weak bonds between amino acids hold the proteins in this shape?until you turn up the heat. When heated, the weak bonds break and the protein unfolds. Then its amino acids form weak bonds with the amino acids of other proteins, a process called coagulation. The resulting network of proteins captures water, making a soft, digestible gel.

If you keep the heat turned up too high or too long when you cook an egg, the proteins in the egg white form more and more bonds, squeezing some of the water out of the protein network and making the egg white rubbery and increasing their digestion time.

So, basically the most bioavailable and readily assimilated egg proteins are either pasteurized raw eggs/egg products or soft cooked/poached eggs that have not reached 160 degrees at which point the proteins become coagulated/denatured and take longer to be completely digested and assimilated. I hope this helps clear up some questions .

If you want to save some money you can do this at home.It is possible to pasteurize eggs at home. Pasteurization is simply a process of heating a food to a specific temperature for a specific amount of time - designed to kill specific bacteria. It is known that salmonella bacteria are killed at temperatures of 140 degrees in about 3 1/2 minutes (or a higher temperature in less time). If a room temperature egg is held in a bowl of warm water - say, 142 degrees to be safe - for 3 1/2 minutes, the bacteria will be killed and the protein inhibitor neutralized. It takes 5 minutes for extra large or jumbo eggs.

Place the room temperature eggs in a colander, and lower them into a pan or bowl of 142-degree water. Use an instant-read thermometer to be sure of the water temperature, and leave the thermometer in the water, to be sure that the temoerature is maintained. For medium or large eggs, leave them in the water for 3 1/2 minutes; for extra large or jumbo eggs, allow 5 minutes. Then remove the eggs, dry them, and refrigerate them, in a tightly-covered container.

Eggs begin to cook at about 160 degrees, and will be "scrambled eggs" at 180 - but if the 142 degree temperature is maintained, the result is a safe egg that will act like a raw egg in recipes and will provide a fully usable protein source."

Great post Stumpy... Easiest and safest way if you're just going to eat raw eggs is to buy cartos of "AllWhites" its pasturized and contains no bacteria which is exactly what Stumpy said. Mix 1 carton Allwhites and 1 scoop of sugarfree tang and you've got yourself an orange julius with 50 grams of protien.

Im sure this has been posted many times so sorry for anyone who gets upset this is on here again. I just cant eat eggs anymore i need a break. Everytime i go eat them i cant i just cant swallow. Im asking what can i eat instaid of eggs for my first two meals of the day. Before i was eating one shake and oats in the morining right when i wake up and than 2nd meal was a shitload of egg whites..what can i have instaid. Thanks for anyone who post back.

its not a good choice. one salmonella is a risk even though very small, and our bodies do not break down the protein when the eggs are not cooked.

02-20-07, 3:36 pm
I got a quick little funny story about them...a year ago when i was bulking i used to drink eggwhites right from the carton, I loved it, easy no-cooking breakfast...kids in my classes would gag everytime i took a chug though...well anyways, one of the more powerful hurricanes hit FL (where i live) and knocked our power out...the raw eggs gave me HORRIBLE gas...bad enough to make me gag...well since the hurricanes knocked out the power, no air was moving in the house (no A/C), and we couldnt open the windows, or we would blow the house up....so my gas would just add up in my room...when my mom came in to see how my windows were holding up, she sniffed, ran to the bathroom, and threw up...i thought it was the funniest thing ever, so i guess the moral of the story is...no, it cant be good for you

I used to purchase from International Egg Whites www.eggwhitesint.com. The whites are pasteurized eliminating unhealthy bacteria. Price was not that bad, but add shipping and it was just too expensive so I am back to cracking.

This article initially promoting eating raw eggs, then switched back saying it can cause biotin deficiencies…

All the following might contain raw eggs:

home-made mayonnaise, Béarnaise and hollandaise sauces, some salad dressings (like caesar), ice cream, icing, mousse, and other desserts.

For the safest choice, you could use pasteurised egg instead because pasteurisation kills bacteria.

If you buy commercially produced mayonnaise, salad dressings, sauces, ice cream, desserts, or ready-made icing, these will almost always have been made using pasteurised egg.

According to calorieking.com, 1 large raw egg has 4.5g fat, 6g protein. An extra large egg yolk has 5g fat, 3g proein where a large egg white has 0 fat and 3g protein as well.

According to this site, a boiled egg is exactly the same in fat and protein.

if they are pasteurized eggs, then you are good to go. and yes, the body is very able to break down uncooked protein. very, very able. i mean, how much protein do you put into your body everyday thats "raw"? peanuts, protein shakes, and raw vegetables are a few that come to mind. all of these are eaten without cooking unless im missing something.

Curos
02-20-07, 8:11 pm
Well protein from raw eggs is a bit different. For whatever reason, your body DOES have trouble with it. but pasteurization heats the eggs to a certain degree for a certain time, in essence "cooking" them.

Hey bro,

Type "salmonella" into the search box. I saw around 4 different posts on it I think. Consider Universal Nutrition's Egg Pro as an alternative to plain egg whites as well. Again...type "Egg Pro" in the search box and you'll see the protein/cost comparisons.

Peace.

Read this:

If you are going to eat raw eggs make sure they are from organic vegetarian fed chickens.



"Poisoning from salmonella has been exaggerated in the past. A study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2002 indicated that only 2.3 million, of the 69 billion eggs produced annually, are contaminated with salmonella. In other words 0.003% or 1 in every 30,000 eggs. The bulk of these come from battery chicken eggs and chickens kept in unhealthy conditions - only sick chickens lay salmonella contaminated eggs. If only healthy chicken eggs (organic and free range ideally) are consumed, then far less than one in 30,000 eggs are contaminated. "

ironshaolin
03-13-07, 2:55 pm
Yeah, I still wouldn't risk it cause if by some chance you get salmonella, you will want to kill yourself you feel so sick. I would recommend getting a carton of egg whites, and drinking that. If you throw them in a blender with some fruit it makes a pretty good breakfast smoothie.

03-13-07, 3:01 pm
Pasteurized eggs or organic vegetarian fed chicken eggs are more expensive than regular eggs for reasons of purity or convenience. The chances of salmonella poisoning with regular eggs is rare, but still worth considering cuz that kind of illness could be nasty. I say cook your eggs and save your money. Peace, G

stumblin54
03-13-07, 3:39 pm
I'd say don't worry about salmonella because you're not going to get it. But the risk is obviously there, and if you are worried, just boil the eggs and blend 'em into your shakes in the morning, assuming that you drink shakes in the morning. I've been eating raw eggs for a long time now though and have never had a problem, and for those of you who say your body can't digest protein from raw eggs, please keep to yourself because I'd rather not listen. Good luck drinkin' them raw though if that's the path you choose, the first few are rough. Peace.

I used to drink raw eggs until i found two articles on the net about biotin. I can remember the other, but this is one of them:

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/drryan28.htm

which says:

"Some older athletic diets use to propose eating just raw eggs. This is a foolish attempt at taking in additional protein. Eating raw eggs (or raw egg whites) will only result in about 50% absorption of the available protein. That means that if you eat enough raw eggs to give you 40 grams of protein, your body will only absorb 20 grams.

Eating just raw egg whites results in the same (or worse). Egg whites have a huge amount of a substance called "avidin," which loves biotin. As a matter of fact, once the avidin-biotin forms a bond, the body can't break it apart. So you will develop a partial or full Biotin Deficiency Syndrome. Cooking your eggs (or egg whites) will quickly denature the protein avidin and will allow you to absorb 98% of the protein. In short, always cook your eggs."

In the article referred by Punisher, it says:

"Nature created an egg to be a balanced live food – as long as you eat the biotin rich yolk along with the white, there is no risk of a biotin deficiency."

Now, since we bodybuilder consume large amount of egg whites much more than the yolks (i believe the good ratio is 5 whites 1 yolk), so maybe it's better to always cook your eggs, apart from the salmonella issue.

Just a thought.

Scramble em, shower them with Mrs. Dash, and maybe add a little cayene pepper that shit is good as hell! I never liked eggs until I discovered Mrs. Dash. I wouldn't fuck with them raw though, getting very sick can throw a monkey wrench in your training.

First of all raw eggs were the worst drink ive made, not even considering salmonella and the fact that they dont work as well as cooked eggs. If you made a shake with real gains or whatever you use, microwave eggs and add them to the shake your cant taste em. Thats what i do

I used to drink raw eggs until i found two articles on the net about biotin. I can remember the other, but this is one of them:

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/drryan28.htm

which says:

"Some older athletic diets use to propose eating just raw eggs. This is a foolish attempt at taking in additional protein. Eating raw eggs (or raw egg whites) will only result in about 50% absorption of the available protein. That means that if you eat enough raw eggs to give you 40 grams of protein, your body will only absorb 20 grams.

Eating just raw egg whites results in the same (or worse). Egg whites have a huge amount of a substance called "avidin," which loves biotin. As a matter of fact, once the avidin-biotin forms a bond, the body can't break it apart. So you will develop a partial or full Biotin Deficiency Syndrome. Cooking your eggs (or egg whites) will quickly denature the protein avidin and will allow you to absorb 98% of the protein. In short, always cook your eggs."

In the article referred by Punisher, it says:

"Nature created an egg to be a balanced live food – as long as you eat the biotin rich yolk along with the white, there is no risk of a biotin deficiency."

Now, since we bodybuilder consume large amount of egg whites much more than the yolks (i believe the good ratio is 5 whites 1 yolk), so maybe it's better to always cook your eggs, apart from the salmonella issue.

When gaining mass always eat the whoole egg

When gaining mass always eat the whoole egg

Shit, the whole egg should be eaten by all "hard gainers". When trying to pack on mass, this is essential. I always eat 2 egg whites to every 1 whole egg. If you're not gaining, try eating more whole eggs.
The egg yolk--now that's where the nutrients are.


As for the biotin issue and reduced protein digestibility with raw eggs, I agree with this... however, I get so much biotin in my diet, that every now and then, I'll add a few raw, whole eggs to my morning or evening shakes just to up the EFA and protein content. I'd prefer cooked but heck, I'll take slightly less absorption over trying to cook 'em up when I 'm in rush.

Add it to your protein shake - I use Milk+oatmeal+egg whites+whey+peanut butter
You won't even know it's there.

But besides that, I feel it's all about training your mind. I used to have an extremely hard time eating tuna(cooked/out of the can). Today I am able to eat 4-5 cans a day

I hate 'em too, but I choke them down. For me, its all about flavoring the egg whites to hide their flavor. I add 99% fat-free turkey chili, tons of ketchup and hot sauce, or fat-free cheese. If you just can't choke them down, go for a whey shake in the morning to put you back in an anabolic state. But remember, egg whites are a very high quality protein, so think twice about leaving them out of your diet.

In the recipe section, I posted some nice egg/breakfast recipes and so did some other members here. Here are some links. You may have to do a little cooking though, but that never hurt anyone...well...cooking should be fun, not painful. You dont need a cooking lesson 101 do you? LOL

My suggestion if you're throwing them up . . . don't eat them. I never eat egg whites, chicken breasts or tuna unless I'm 8 weeks out from a show. If I do I'll be sick of them when I have to eat them. If you are dieting for a show try adding home made salsa to your egg whites. It makes a big difference.

I eat eggs in the morning sometimes... but you don't have to be religious about it. A lot of times I'll have a great breakfast shake in the morning just because I'm fuckin sick of eggs. I mix 16 oz. milk (casein/whey protein), 1/2 cup oats (clean carbs), 2 tbsp. PB (healthy fats), and 1.5 scoops of ON whey. That's more than enough to get my body anabolic after sleep as well as keep me anabolic until my 10:00 am school lunch period. If you're sick of eggs try that. Eggs are the best and most common for breakfast but I see no problems with that shake at all.

Stay away from raw eggs - Even though the risk is considered low these days - They are a source of salmonella.
Always check for a cracked egg shell also before you eat an egg. Throw those away.

Pasteurized egg whites can be consumed raw or cooked.

uncooked, unpasturized egg WHITES are at a BV of roughly 51

cooked/pasturized egg whites are @ a BV of roughly 90+

whole cooked egg roughly BV 100

however raw egg yolk is still @ roughly a 100 BV since there is no alvidin (sp) amino acid in it.

scramble them with some or all added:

fat free cheese slices (torn up)
pieces of ham
diced onion, peppers, cauliflower that you've stir fried a bit before adding

Also good is to top your scrambled eggs with a couple of whole eggs cooked sunny side up so the yolk runs all over your plate.

Update: I've been cutting and I'm really lean now (31 inch waist) but weighed the other day and was disappointed to weigh only 185 (at 6 feet zero inches and age 45). Guess I was a little too fat at 200. Hope its Ok if I keep the name.

sometimes when i wake up i'll make up a mix of skim milk, oatmeal, and a couple raw eggs, maybe some whey powder and frozen berries...throw it in a blender and mix it nice and smooth...then you can fry up a couple eggwhites and some whole wheat bread...this is a good way to get a higher amount of eggs in that first meal w/o worrying about the whole gag trip....oh, and for the record i spent 5 minutes this morning over the sink yelling at myself to "keep my fucking breakfast in my stomach"

it's not bad to eat raw eggs?

lol Before downing 8 raw eggs in a glass like these burly manly men on here I suggest you try it with just one egg while your standing over a sink.

I have devoured raw meat and some unspeakable things in other countries with a smile on my face. But I for the life of me cannot down a raw egg.

That aside, you have a few options. One being, stop whining. lol

Another is take a break from it. Eggs are an amazing food but if your sick of it, it could be taste or believe it or not even your body telling you to take a break. (ever CRAVE protein? Your body wants it. It's the same thing with NOT wanting something)

Take a few weeks away from the egg. Switch it up and confuse your metabolism. Lean turkey slices. Nuts. Whatever you want.

40-60 egg whites? whats the point in eating so many?

Easy way for me to get a meal in, + its easy to count out my protein content this way, 1 eggwhite = 4g of protein, so for my daily macro's i have my other food but then i can just total and tweak it depending on the amount of eggs i need. So say i'm under my protein amount by 60, i can easily eat 15 egg whites spaced out into 2 meals to cover this.

while cutting i'm not a big fan of whole eggs mainly because i'd rather eat somethin that will curb my appetite more such as peanut butter.

However i do use 2 whole eggs a day which accumulates to 8 total grams of fat just so i can get the extra amino acids from the yolk.

never mind...

In reguards the the raw whole eggs. Drinking them is harder than drinking egg whites but still the same concept, Except you gotta get metally preped for them. You can't drink, you have to 'gulp' or you'll end up gagging. Espically when you hit the yolks :).

For the past 6 months I've also had the same egg problem, tryin to swallow them. I've been makin them on the oven, scrambled, but they've turned out slimy and makes me think I'm eating a snail because of the texture.





I lady from work suggest I put them in the microwave instead, and scramble them every 20 seconds or so.


I did that. They are perfect now! All yellow and fluffy, just like I like em.

Try mixing your whites with a little splenda before cooking them. It makes a kind of custard almost.

Or melt peanut butter on them.

Or do both.

Or make french toast with whites and whole grain protein bread (some companies add gluten and whey to their breads for additional protein).

as far as raw egg concumption goes...

dont down raw egg whites alone..it's a waiste of protein. BV drops down near 50% area. 3g per egg white now drops to 1.5g per egg white.
either down whole eggs raw or pasterized egg whites. were the BV stay up near the 90% area.

I said it in a previous post 15 min ago or so, protein powders are not better than whole foods... whey has its benefits, especially around your workout or maybe even in the morning after fasting for some good hours, but stick to whole foods for most of the time

I suppose it is a good thing to eat protein out of many different sources, as long as it is lean enough. Whey alone is probably not a good option. If I don't remember it wrong, egg whites e.g. contain plenty of albumin, which is a kind of protein that is important for the body.

Do so at your own risk. All i gotta say is I got salmonella once and was shitting and puking my life away for about 2.5-3 days. Anything you drink or eat will come right back up from one hole or another in about 2 minutes, sometimes less. So you feel continuasly thirsty but cannot quench your thirst.
So to conclude, it really sucks, and if you're weird enough to want to experience half the pain, go run for 2 hours, then dont drink any water for 24 hours, then make sure you take a laxative and force yourself to puke. That's salmonella for ya!

Probly not the healthiest choice w/ the whole salmonella thing, it causes typhoid fever. It was more of a fad around the time of the Rocky movies.
It's definitely quicker than cooking them, and ive never known anyone whos gotten sick from salmonella. But hey if you dont mind the taste, and wanna take the chance, go for it.

Personally i eat just the eggwhites, cooked. The white contains the protein and very little, if any, fat. The yolk has really no nutritional purpose and they're very high in bad cholesterol. The yolk is one of the main ingredients in alot of fatty foods like mayonnaise, really wanna eat that?



-Veritas-
acutally the yolk has as much protien as the whites

Ok animals a lot of friends have asked me what do i do when i am strapped for time and i need some protein. Well like this morning with gettn the kids up and my self ready I didnt have enough time. SO I just grabbed a cup cracked a couple of raw eggs into the cup(3) and chugged. I know i know gross right. but its a quick protien fix to help get your body going. NOw i know u may think well what about bacteria and food poision. Well if for those of you who did not know. bacteria needs a certain tempature to start growing. That tempature starts at room tempature(usually 75 degrees F). So straight from your fridge to the cut to your gut you will be perfectly fine. So the worst thing I would have to say about crack'n open some liquid chicken is the texture of it. Just thought I woudl share that with ya for your knoweledge bank.

Well then again you would have to use a lil sense in that matter. I was only referring to eggs. but again I just get my eggs from the grocery store. Also in 2years that I have done that off and on not a problem once. Now like you said uncooked fish,steak,poultry. I wouldnt do it. But if u were to try im sure because of the bacteria tempature factor you would limit your self to exposure.

Also I saw a thread on here about asian bodybuilders. Check out there diet. This dude ate raw eggs stragith from a bowl and then blended up some raw frozen fish and chugged. And he is a pretty massive dude. So i guess it just boils down to good ol common sense and judgement.

I don't think it works like that....
So, by your logic, "bacteria" should begin to grow in your stomach?
If the egg has salmonella, it has salmonella even if it has been in your fridge. You need to cook it so it can't do any harm. Besides, we are always in contact with germs and bacteria, but a very small percentage of those little things are actually dangerous. *And they are only dangerous if they overpower your immune system.
*Not entirely sure about this last claim.

Just a heads up raw eggs and egg whites inhibit the absorption of certain vitamins. So you might as well cook them. They lose this property of inhibiting vitamin absoprtion as soon as the protein has denatured (COOOOOOKED). So cook your eggs!

Are raw eggs safe tot eat?
i think the risk of Salmonella, along with its symptoms of chills, diarrhea, muscle weakness, and dehydration to be far too big a risk!

I agree, it's probably not worth the risk., but if you're going to eat them anyway you'd better go with the ones in the carton because it's been pasteurized and therefore would be safer

The monotony of eating 10-12 eggs scrambled eggs each morning is starting to grow old. However, this routine, along with the rest of my meals throughout the day has enabled my body to transform from a 175lb frame at 18yrs to a 220-225 pounder (off season) at 21 yrs. My question is if any of you have experimented with simply cracking eggs into a glass and sucking them down like Rocky. I apologize for this thread if the topic has already been addressed and/or discussed. Also, this question is not necessarily "diet" specific but I dont feel like posting a seperate thread on "Livin". Im sure some of you have/are experiance stretch marks. Personally I see them as a point of pride, kind of proves that yeah im growing, but come time to compete, Id like them gone. Any suggestions? Coa-Coa butter?
