Raw eggs
ad
So I'm on a tight budget and seeing that eggs are pretty cheap I've been adding 3-4 of them in my protein shakes: one scoop powder, milk, banana, tablespoon peanut butter, and 3-4 eggs (two yolks only). My doc said as long as the eggs have been pasturuzed there's no risk of samonilia. It makes my 5lb tub of protein go a lot further and the eggs are tasteless. Anyone else use raw eggs? Is my doc right or is there too much risk?

no issues with salmonella for a healthy adult, but the avidin in uncooked eggs will sap biotin from your body and cause a deficiency over a period of time...
As far as safety goes, as long as they're pasteurized, your good. Digestability is another issues. Others have addressed it below. Overall, eggs are a good, cheap form of protein.
I eat 60-70 eggs a week and never tried them raw. Im not bad ass enough for that. Props to you.
Ten eggs a day? Nice! How do you cook yours? I love some scrambled eggs but the less cooking I have to do the easier.
Ye i scramble them, with xtra virgin olive oil
russel12Bro raw eggs are hard to digest! And when eggs are cooked they are easy to digest and your body can use all the nutrients! By eating raw eggs you wasting have of the protein
I must agree that eggs are a good cheap source of protein DoriDori but drinking them raw is something I just cant stomach. I tried it once , and even tried it again but I just cant do it. More power to you if you can :-)
I do however hard boil about 30 eggs a week though.
I've been doing it for about a month now. No stomach issues and no weird gas (sorry if TMI). So are they hard to digest or slow to digest or both? I believe my digestive system absorbs very healthy. On 5-6 500 calorie meals I only use the el bano twice. Correct me if I'm wrong but slow digesting macros are what I need right? All year round? Except directly after workouts I suppose....
Many different views on the whole slow digesting macro thing DD - IMO. A simple Google search will yield plenty of info regarding raw egg consumption. I myself would cook the eggs and wash em' down with my shake :-)
Cool! Just read that cooked eggs are "90%" available for digestion compared to "50%" raw. Cooking exactly helps the protein availability.
