Whats the difference from solid egg vs. liquid egg

[gfactor]

A lot of people say when you cook the egg it loses its nutritional value due to heat. My question is...

Does the protein metabolize the same as solid egg form????

 

[celtic-devil]

With cooked eggs the protein is a lot more bio-available than raw eggs.

Also, your not gonna get salmonella.

Eating raw eggs is less nutritious and quite dangerous.

agreed. this information is taken from www.eggwhitesint.com , best place to get pure egg whites. "What’s the difference between LIQUID and RAW egg whites? The human body cannot completely and safely digest a raw egg white. So, if you like to do the “Rocky Routine” with a raw egg or raw egg white in your drink, you are wasting your time, not to mention the threat of Salmonella. Avidin, which is found in raw egg whites, blocks the uptake of Vitamin B6 (Biotin) causing a vitamin deficiency. You must cook the egg white to neutralize the Avidin and allow your body to safely digest the protein and utilize all its Amino acids. the pasteurization process heats the egg white to 134 degrees for 3 ½ minutes. This heat kills the salmonella and neutralizes the Avidin to allow the egg whites to be digested safely by the human body. When you cook an egg white to the point of scrambled eggs, you are overcooking the protein and denaturing the true value of the protein."

The main difference is that you lose all these good and muscle building fats

just put your eggs in the microwave for 20 seconds and then drink them. this will kill any bacteria and neutralize the avidin. it will also save you a ton of time.

depending on what kind of eggs you buy you shouldnt have to worry about bacteria, I buy the expensive ones form the health food store the high omega free range ones, I have been told that the cheap eggs you but at the grocery store are cagged, and when caged the chickens shit on each other and eat it.. this causes the spred of beacteria very quickly!

I ued to eat raw eggs every day (3-5 a day) for like a year or 2, I never got sick, since then I have done some reading that suggest you dont want to do this because the egg is not digested properly when uncooked.. I also used the egg wts intl for a few months and really didnt like them, I dont think they are correct in what they print on their site and containers as far as the protein content goes, I felt like they were way underdosed.. just my opinion..

I'm no scientist but as the above posts mention eating raw eggs is not recommended. To answer the question about losing some nutritional value after heating/cooking. Protien is some what heat sensitive, meaning it will lose some of the essential and branch chain aminos in the heating process. So what are you left with? Protien, egg white albumen. As said it is the best bio-available protien we can ingest. It just loses some of it's value. Still one of the best snacks going, Hard boiled eggs. Fast, easy and filling. not to mention no fat.

So when I drink a cup of my eggwhite int. I am wasting my time? I should have been cooking it this whole time?

no the egg wts intl are pre pasterized i belive, I personally didnt like them at all though

I have read that uncooked egg whites pass through the stomach too fast to get digested properly.

I like that 20 second microwave idea.

what about Lana's Egg Whites? Anyone eat those?

I tried this last night. 3 whole and 5 whites in the microwave for 20 seconds but I felt them and they were still cold as when I cracked them. I nuked them for another 1.3 minutes just until they started to "form" around the edges of the bowl but were still 95% liquid. I dumped them and a scoop of whey into the blender and it tasted like hot cocoa. Anyway my question is are you sure only 20 seconds neutralizes them because it didn't seem to heat them even 1 degree??

Been drinking eggs raw for years after cooking them and won't ever cook them again. For me, way less gas and digestion issues when eating them raw than when cooking them.

I bought Egg Whites International... Its pre-cooked but they say you get more protein then you would if you scramble. Tastes fine. I think ill stick with them?
