I couldnt find the exact thread but i remember seeing someone was saying that....
one cup of egg whites cooked = 25 grams of protein
one cup of egg whites raw = 12grams of protein
i dont understand how uncooked egg whites would have half the protein???
or is what this person was saying incorrect??

Raw eggs versus cooked eggs
I have been looking for the nutritional value of raw eggs versus cooked and have found nothing. Unadulterated amino acids which we find in raw eggs have to contain more protein than cooked eggs in my opinion. Cooking destroys the nutritional value of most food or at least diminishes it. I like to drink raw eggs in a small glass of OJ and swallow them whole after a strenuous work out. The last taste in your mouth is the OJ. Make sure the eggs are fresh, range fed being best, salmonella is usually carried in the feces of the eggs and would be on the shell. If anybody has more info it would be appreciated! I've been a clinical nutritionist and chiropractor for the last 30 years.

I think you shouldn't worry about this and that you should eat cooked eggs.
Boiled eggs are the least caloric way to eat eggs, I believe.
I'm lucky enough to have in-laws who have a farm with chickens. They give me a massive amounts of free-range organic eggs every month or so. I boil them up and pickle them in one part white vinegar, one part water. Great snack!

There's a link in this very thread. Look harder.

actually the protein in cooked eggs was actually 40% more bio-available to the body than when uncooked. In practical terms, this means that you’d have to eat seven raw eggs to absorb the amount of protein available in five cooked eggs. So cooking actually ehances the biological value (BV) of eggs, versus degrading it.
Eating raw eggs can also interfere with the absorption of a key vitamin: biotin (also known as “Vitamin H.”) Raw egg whites contain a protein called avidin, which binds with biotin in the gut and prevents it from being absorbed by the body. However, cooking the eggs deactivates the avidin. So long-term and regular consumption of raw egg whites may contribute to biotin deficiencies.

Eggs are a protein rich food; around 12% of the egg white is protein and the yolk is about 16%. Proteins are made up of chains of building blocks called amino acids which are folded and arranged in a very specific way, and it is this shape, among other characteristics, which bestows the protein its properties. When proteins are subjected to changes in pH or temperature, the bonds holding them together in a particular conformation are disrupted, causing the protein to unravel and tangle. This process is known as denaturation and is the reason that egg whites go from clear to white when cooked
The broken down protein pieces or individual amino acids (after cooking) allow for better absorption into the body, thus retaining/building more protein for muscle use. The whole proteins in raw (uncooked) egg whites make it tougher/longer for the body to break down for protein synthesis (in muscle recovery)
So if you have the time/energy to do so, cook your egg whites instead of consuming them raw such as in a protein shake. You'll get more of your money's worth, and your body will thank you.

Thanks for the unnecessary copy pasta (that you didn't bother to attribute to the author) over two years after this thread died. Around 12% of the egg white is protein? About 100% of the calories in whites come from protein. I'd ask you what you're attempting to claim, but you probably don't know since you copied it from an internet site.
