Eating Raw Eggs

[smoking gun]

They used to feed raw liver to sick people in Germany too around the great depression.no thanks I'll pass.the human body will only absorb so much nutrients

[Lunatic]

 

I eat 3,120 eggs a year, or 60 per week, 5 a day, but only 1 yoke out of the five.

If you eat 5 per day the you eat 35/week or 1825/year.

However; with only one yoke/day you only eat 365 eggs per year

Used to until I got a bad one and was puking and shitting for a couple hours.

Yes, your body can utilize more protein when an egg is cooked.  But cooking foods causes a loss of other nutrients.  When you cook an egg you lose signifiant amounts of certain nutrients.

 

Raw eggs have:

• 36% more vitamin D
• 33% more omega-3s
• 33% more DHA (docosahexaenoic acid)
• 30% more lutein + zeaxanthin
• 23% more choline
• 20% more biotin
• 19% more zinc

 

 

Looks like you'll have to compensate the loss off any nutrients through cooking by eating a few more cooked eggs. I don't see any benefit of eating raw eggs that you would even notice, only the potential negatives if the worst were to happen. I find that with micronutrients unless you are severely deficient, you won't even notice the increase in consumption of them. 

 

I eat 7-14 a day most of the year , mainly for the high arachidonic acid they have and the benefits that fatty acids is supposed to have on protein synthesis. Also outside of whey, egg is the most bio available protein.

 I don't see any benefit of eating raw eggs.  

 

Time and laziness.  95% of the time I cook my eggs, but yesterday I was running late and hadn't had breakfast.  I grabbed 4 eggs and a banana and ran out the door.

Raw eggs  are disgusting and cooked eggs a delicious. I don't need anymore reason to cook them.

[Lunatic]

I might, I normally eat about 2 dozen a week, many weeks more than that. usually 3 hardboiled eggs for breakfast (I pop out most of the yolks) each day, and make omelettes or eggs with zucchini, broccoli, peppers, or whatever else I have around for lunch and dinner sometimes. I like a 6 minute egg over a bowl of oatmeal, an over easy egg over a pile of burnt ends or on a burger, make frittata's for a snack sometimes, I even use an egg wrap to make enchaladas. No raw eggs for me though, about the only way I don't eat them.

 

When you say you pop out yolks, do you mean you don't eat them?

[OliverRobertson]

Eating raw eggs is very dangerous. There are many infections and diseases that you can get sick because of this. It is better to cook them

Thought about this but farm animals are not allowed in my town.

I used to eat 8-10 eggs a day but I would often break it up and do 2-3 full eggs and 6-7 egg whites depending on my macros for the day. I ended up switching it up and started to buy Muscle Eggs. They are pasteurized egg whites that you can buy in either plain or various flavors that you simply drink. They are fat free, have 25-26 grams of protein, no cholesterol and are roughly around 130 calories.
