I know I'm a teenager and I'm posting in the Over 35 section, but I have a question which I don't think the teen section can give me a clear answer to.
A month or so ago I was researching the tastiest way to eat eggs and I find that they are just as good mixed with a protein shake, as they are cooked. So that's what I started doing.
Few weeks later I find out differently, again, being told by people on this site, saying that you get hardly any protein from raw eggs, so I stopped. I know everyone has their own opinions based on personal experience, but as I'm only starting I don't want to do something that I discover a year down the track to be totally pointless, so that's why I come here to ask you guys who I'm sure have lots of experience.
P.S I know some people don't like raw eggs due to the salmonella risk, but I don't really care as I hear the chances of getting it is pretty low. I just want to know what's more beneficial; eating 5 raw eggs mixed with a protein shake for breakfast, or drinking a protein shake then 10 minutes later having 5 boiled eggs.
Thanks

Putting raw eggs with protein shake

personally I wouldn't make a habit of it.. even if the chances are low, if you do it often enough it's bound to happen sooner or later.. say the chances are less than 1%.. 0.5% for example.. in other words 1 out of 200.. so if you have a protein shake with eggs every day for a year, there's a good chance you'll get salmonella at least once throughout they ear.. from what I've heard about salmonella, I'm not willing to go through that even once..
getting back your question.. I wouldn't know which would give you more protein.. if you're drinking a protein shake anyway, then you're already getting plenty of protein.. I'd just cook the eggs and eat them later..My Blog:

Being knowledgeable in food myself, contracting salmonella is still a great risk if you are consuming that much. Also, even cleaned and sanitized egg in a food manufacturing company gets contaminated once in a while. So don't get confident that you wont get salmonella in eating raw eggs. You are getting much protein in a protein shake as you are just a teenager. Cook the eggs and eat them. Watch out though for the cholesterol that you will be taking if you have family history of hypertension.
Whatever you give to life,it gives you back.
Do not hate anybody.
The hatred which comes out from you will someday come back to you.
Love others. And LOVE will come back to you..

Not to go against the grain, because it probably is a risk, but I have been putting raw eggs into my protien drinks for over 25 years and never got sick.
I have recently been using egg beaters instead since they have no cholesterol, fat and are pasturized. Now that I've said all that, I'm about to have my shake for the morning, and I may have jinxed my luck....."Facts are Stubborn Things";

I have drank a TON of raw eggs. And In shakes too. They are NOT bad for you at all no matter what anyone says. As long as they are drank before staying out to long.
Drink away and dont worry. You can make some great shakes by mixing some RAW eggs, skim milk, some flavored whey protein, some creatine, and some fruit. AWESOME!!!
Very good for you and very good tasting.

My thought is to do both, it doesn't hurt to throw an occasional "trusted" raw egg in a protein shake... and also poached, and I especially love making my own Egg-McToast. The studies show that even though you may have increased digestibility with a cooked egg -it's based on transit times, the egg itself is rendered an incomplete protein from preheated treatments. Another more wary concern is Biotin absorption , from a previous post...
