Do you guys get the liquid eggwhite in the tub? That **** looks like cummy water.

FTFY

3 tbsp. 25 calories, 0 fat, 0 carbs and 5 grams of protein? The hype is real brah

What about the poor digestibility and oral BV of raw eggs? Don't be so quick to dismiss those factors

I put 'em in my omelettes or other cooked food, never really drink them raw, but if I did would it be pointless due to those factors?

Egg whites in a carton aren't raw though, right? They've been processed/pasteurized or whatever else...

 

[KingJulien]

Why would you eat them raw? If you cook it you double the amount of protein you're taking in.

Egg whites in cartons are pasteurized prior to packaging and are safe to eat raw and added to whatever you want. I add to servings to my shakes all the time...

I don't think we even have those in England, i've never seen them. Always wanted to try them though for the novelty. Bulking sounds so much easier in america, we don't even have frozen chicken breast unless you go to a poverty store.

This is what I use, and it's way true that bulking is easy as **** here.

Yes, but once the stimulus is removed it undergoes renaturation. Thus bringing us back to where we started. Poor digestibility and BV

Possibly more

So at what point are we calling them, "cooked" if I stick them in my microwave for a few seconds, or even mix it with boiling water, are they then cooked?

Seems like a bit of mental masturbation.

Someone still missed the "make pancakes" part of TK's post It hink.

No it's not. Cooking breaks down the enzymes in the eggs, vastly increasing the amount of protein in the egg that you actually absorb. I believe it goes from ~40% to ~90%. You can visibly see this as the egg white solidifies, so if you microwave it and it's still runny, you're not getting the benefit.

If you were just talking about pasteurization, the risk with raw eggs is a small risk with large consequences - salmonella. You're pretty safe with free range eggs. I don't know much about farm eggs.

My fiance is a food scientist and tells me this all the time...

Can't you guys just cook eggs like normal people? If you want to drink your no-carb no-cook protein just have a whey shake why are you ******* with eggs.

 

[Tooch4321]

I'll eat like 3–4 eggs and then add some extra whites for more volume...
