raw egg whitew

LazosVshape · 12-15-2007, 01:31 PM

i read some time ago an article written by Dave Palumbo saying that one of his favorite muscle-building shakes is raw egg whites with some oatmeal and splenda blended for say like half a minute and then instantly consumed. I tried it and i loved it! The problem is that a guy in my gym said that raw eggs contain a substance that doesn't allow the protein of the eggs to be absorbed by the body. He claims that substance is neutralized when the egg whites are cooked. Has anyone heard of this?

Yes, it is Aviden which is a binding protein.

Raw egg vs cooked egg

I know some people like to eat raw eggs. Theyre most likely harmless. However, there's still the possibility of raw eggs making people VERY sick. Take 2 mins and cook your eggs. Its not worth the risk.

i eat alot of eggwhites everyday, just eggwhites taken from the shell, i add kraft cheddar cheese for the taste and seems to be working well for me, so egg whites raw is no good, what about rockey worked for him, rofl?

Eggs can be cooked in the microwave. It's a very fast way to cook eggs with very little clean-up.

Again, you probabaly won't get sick. All I'm saying is that if you can put a few eggs in the microwave on high for 2 minutes, do it. I'd rather not risk anything.
