Drinking liquid egg whites

[scumpxharry]

Saw a video on youtube where a guy suggested liquid egg whites as the best way to add a lot more protein without much additional effort. Liquid egg whites with chocolate syrup.

I'm still too new to this forum to be allowed to post a link to the video.

I've started drinking a half carton a day with chocolate syrup, as he suggested. I have a couple issues with it so far:

-Even though objectively it tastes ok, in reality the idea of it coupled with the texture makes it seem pretty bad. Maybe I will get used to it though

-I read else where that raw eggs do not have the same bioavailability of protein as cooked eggs. Something like 50% available in raw eggs and 90% available in cooked eggs. Can anyone conform or deny this?

-Maybe it would be better to put in in a smoothie with protein powder, Bananana, oats, coconut milk, peanut butter or something similar. Would dilute the taste.

Anyone here been drinking egg whites for a while?

Sounds disgusting.

I'd at least throw it in the microwave for a minute and then add some salt and pepper.

If you’re strapped for time, you can just microwave them

1Manu on this forum suggested it a while back, and explained that it worked well for him.

I am not 100% sure on the claim that you don't digest the protein fully unless it's cooked - hope someone can answer that because I am curious as well.

I have started doing this occasionally myself: don't mind the taste and appreciate the ability to ingest a huge amount of pure protein with no preparation required. Sometimes I don't have time to cook or slowly eat a meal.

Liquid egg whites are pasteurized, so technically they are heated, not sure if it counts as 'cooked' though. Yes, egg protein is less bioavailable when raw, as to whether or not it matters, not likely enough to have any real effect.

^^ Thanks

However, I just found out that actually cooking an entire carton and eating that with one dry measured cup of brown rice, throwing in some salsa and sriracha and an onion, produces an enormous amount of food... I am a big eater and I decided I didn't even want to eat that much. Still was only ~1200 calories.

Thankfully there are also pre-packaged protein shakes.

I certainly wouldn't have to think too hard about more protein powder vs liquid egg whites with fawking chocolate syrup. Wtf is this world coming to.

No chocolate syrup here. I don't need it to pretend to be a dessert or something.

From time to time I still do a large egg white frittata. 32oz egg white, diced onion, mushrooms, or any veggie you like, maybe cheese if you want, salsa/hot sauce on it after cooking.

Use a large casserole dish, 9x11 or so, pour egg whites in, mix in diced onion, mushrooms, ect. Bake at 350 for 1 hour, maybe a few minutes more until top is golden brown.

Fcker is huge, dense, and low calorie. Much tastier than just scrambled IMO.

I think ready-to-drinks are a much easier choice. Just 16 oz flavored water with 20 g whey isolate. I'm always tempted to get a case at Costco.

Often unnecessary self-torture associated with protein choices. This makes the 7x/day whey-oatmeal post seem like fine dining.

You can do whatever makes you taste good for you, but I'd rather cook the liquid egg whites and put some meat and veges however it will take a while preparing it but it's worth.

Idiotic.

why? are you calling Rocky Balboa an idiot? he drank eggs and if you haven't tried it, you are not in a position to critique those who drink em.

You're aware that the food I eat I actually enjoy, right? (and it was actually 4x, so...)

Sorry, I forgot you also eat buckwheat and egg whites because you like variety - my bad. I was actually complimenting your post's food choice in comparison to this one. I eat oatmeal too, just not 4-7x/day.

I for one seriously do like buckwheat.

I'm not sure if I've ever had it. One of those things I never really think about in real life terms, kinda like a huckleberry.

As a kid, my mom would make it occasionally. Eaten as a hot cereal, it has a very earthy, smooth tasting flavor. IMO it's delicious even without anything added.
