On the whole id say no, eating raw eggs is not good for you.

The chances of getting an egg infected with salmonella are slim, but why risk it.

Ive read somwhere that your body can only absorb something like 30-35% of the nutrients from eggs when eaten raw. Correct me if i'm wrong

When you cook the eggs you're desnaturalizing the protein, in other words, breaking the peptids. In the case of the egg, cooked is better, you can absorve more protein than a raw egg.

how would you cook your egg hard boiled?

I got the worst gas when i tried drinking raw eggs. Stomach pains, bloating, gas the whole thing.

There's a bacteria in there my stomach didnt like.

If you do not cook the egg, you do not destroy a glycoprotein called avidin. Avidin has a super high affinity for the B vitamin Biotin.

Historically, Biotin deficiency was origionally called "egg-white syndrome." So if you were to go overboard with it, you would run into deficiencies such as issues with your intestines, hair, skin, Central Nervous System, and your Peripheral Nervous System [Burning Hands & Feet Sensation].

These are the reasons why you should not eat raw eggs...aside from the risk of salmonela.

As far as denaturing goes, you will still absorb the egg protein very well. Remember that most of the protein powders out there [both retail and clinical] have pre-digested or denatured proteins in the form of di-,tri-, oligo peptides. You absorb the protein...enought to maintain a postitive nitrogen balance to support lean muscle growth.

Might as well cook them, your body won't be able to use that protein from
raw eggs anyway.

I eat raw egg whites for years and i,ve make good gains, without any side effect. I dont like eggs, and thats the only way i can eat them.
