Liquid Egg Whites?

[intense1]

I was just reading the post on spicing up your protein shakes. I see alot of people like to use liquid egg whites. I have heard before that your body does not digest liquid eggs whites in the raw state? I heard that they pass through your digestive system to quickly to digest properly and get all of the nutrients out of them? Is this true or false?

i drink liquid egg whites every morning, it comes in a bottle equivilent to 32 egg whites, its heat treated to kill salmonella.

and yes you cannot drink a normal un heat treated egg as it has avidin which prevents protein uptake i'll post a link where i buy mine.........

Correct as tom pointed out.

Yes they are one of the fastest digested proteins.

I drink Lana's Egg Whites all the time for their ease and Convienience as they are already pastuerized and I don' t have to crack a 1000 eggs...

The liquid egg whites that are sold from Lana's, egology, etc... are all cooked but not cooked that it destroys the proteins. This gives you the ability to actually drink the "cooked" egg with all of its protein digestibility?

I just stick with the old fashion way and cook them... I find its cheaper and more convenient.

Tom, do you drink yours right out of the bottle as they say you can. Or do you mix it in something first? (in the morning)

If I remember correctly from college consuming raw egg whites causes a biotin deficency. You may want to look into this and supplement.

just drink half/ two thirds a pint glass first thing, as long as its cold its tastless and delish........and quenchs my morning thirst....then i can just have some normal cereal without worrying about protein etc

its not much cheaper, and when i was poatching 6-8 eggs every morning it was far from convieient and it bunged me up and eating 8 eggs is disgusting. i think you should try liquid egg whites if you havent, i love them.

except for the bad smells later on, buts thats the price of bodybuilding.....

i wouldnt add to protein shake though........that'll be some slimy chunks of death shake!!
