20 raw eggs a day

[wheels30]

I ate raw eggs for about a year until I actually got salmonella. Once that happens you'll stop - guaranteed.

20 eggs/day is verging on excessive and putting you at risk of choline toxicity depending on the rest of your diet. I can't also fathom *wanting* to eat them raw when eggs cooked are so damn tasty.

Scrambled eggs on toast with black pepper and smoked salmon? Yes please.

[janglingjack]

I love eggs more than anyone else I know, but you OP, you sicken me to my core.

cook thoses mofos

Omg 20 eggs

[desslok]

Why don't you just eat 10 cooked eggs, and then paypal me the cost of 10 eggs. That way you'll be getting the same amount of protein while still paying as much as you are now.

Not that is the entrepreneurial spirit.

Mother of god...so for 10 months? You actually enjoy the taste? Srs question.

Yes, I actually DO enjoy the taste, its like i have become addicted.

* My rest of the diet is just regular, chicken, cheese, vegs and fruits.
* I am not trolling, I actually do eat that many eggs a day and I do not experience any farts, I did at first couple of months but then your body gets used to it.
* I am not a big guy by any means, nor would I ever be one(just my genetics), but that doesn't mean I cant consume eggs as part of my diet, close to 60% of my diet are raw eggs.
* I would probably stop if I would get salmonella, but fingers crossed I am not, and the chances are very slim of that happening.
* IT IS NOT waste of protein, eating them raw is actually the most nutritious way

This makes me sad.

But your Signature promotes egg consumption.

For the pleasurable taste they provide when cooked.

Does anyone know why the sudden "egg" threads? Is is it National Egg week or what?

Hehe, well noted.

Uh, no. That is incorrect. Contrary to popular belief, Rocky was just a movie.

I didn't base my assumption of eggs being most nutritious(when they are raw) on a Rocky movie lol. There have been studies that once cooked, eggs lose certain amount of nutrients.

Which nutrients?
Which studies?

But who was bioavailability?

[Jabroni89]

I can think of so many better ways to consume 20 eggs a day- omelet, scrambled, quiche, fritata, french toast.... such a waste to have them raw; less bio-availability too.

This.

Sure. Most things lose some nutrients when cooked. Do you eat everything raw because if this? Or do you realize it doesn't make that much difference. For example with Choline, a raw egg has 23% more than a hard boiled egg. What this means is to get the RDA you would need around 4 hard boiled vs 3 raw. But you eat 20 so its completely a moot point anyways. But on the other hand you are literally throwing half the protein down the chitter.

[bartolomei]

It seems that protein from cooked eggs is digested and absorbed more efficiently than from raw eggs.

http://ajpgi.physiology.org/content/277/5/G935.long
"Amounts of 5.73% and 35.10% of cooked and raw test meal, respectively, escaped digestion and absorption in the small intestine."

http://jn.nutrition.org/content/128/10/1716.long
"The true ileal digestibility of cooked and raw egg protein amounted to 90.9 ± 0.8 and 51.3 ± 9.8%, respectively."

Also:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7322688
"Dietary deficiency of biotin was documented in an 11-year-old retarded boy as a consequence of a dietary prescription containing raw eggs."
Symptoms included loss of hair and scaly skin.

Raw eggs contain a protein avidin, which binds biotin and prevents its absorption.

I just prefer eating my eggs raw, and I could never eat 20 boiled/fried/scrambled eggs a day. For me it is the most convenient way to consume eggs.

* I may be wrong by assuming that eggs will lose nutrients when cooked however, I did read it(cant remember where) that exposing eggs to heat will make them less nutrient than in their raw state

Read the post above yours a few times, and then provide the sources and studies that refute that.

[SwolenBro]

Disrespectful to the Hen IMO.... just drinking them kids like that

So you are deliberately choosing the more expensive option?
Sure, that makes sense. Let's settle for absorbing 'bout half the nutrients, instead of cooking it and absorbing way more + requiring less for satiety.

Yes. For me its a quick and easy way of consuming good amount of protein and fats at the same time. I can only eat about 3 boiled eggs at a time, but I need more than that, so I prefer drinking my eggs. I drink 8 eggs for breakfast before I go to work and it just works perfect, as its 3 hours to my next meal that I have at work. It keeps me full. I am happy with it
