Egg Whites
ad
Guys I hate waking up in the mornings and having to separate eggs. It's not terrible but it's time consuming and I'm definitely not a morning person, I usually am half asleep and get some shell in the bowl or something then I gotta dig it out and...
Any one buy egg whites already separated online? Also what are the most cost effective egg whites online?

what does work of white egg?describe
you can get them at walmart pretty cheap organic too I'm pretty sure got some about 2 weeks ago, I make omelets with mine I can't eat em raw for some weird reason
I buy 3kg bags of egg white powder, and mix a large scoop and two whole eggs for my scrambled eggs every morning, tastes great as long as you put 1 or 2 real eggs in.
the rest goes into protein shakes.
AnonWhy would you want to seperate them anyway? The yolk is the best bit. All those good fats keeps ya slim! If you can, eggs are best eaten raw, just crack open a few and dump em' in your protein smoothie, you likely wont even taste them. By the way, cooking eggs destroys much of the nutritional value, however if you are going to eat them raw then just make sure that they are organic. Pasturisation as mentioned in the post below is also a heat process, therefore not recommended if you are looking to maintain nutritional content. However if you must cook them, lightly poaching is the best option.
Hey mate not too sure where you got that info from about the good fats in egg yolks and eating them raw. The yolk contains cholesterol and it's not the good one. However there are enzymes in the yolk that aid in digesting the albumin (white). That is why you eat 1-2 egg yolks per 6-8 eggs. As for eating them raw that great if you want to chance getting salmonella poisoning. Also our body can't digest raw eggs thats why when they are eaten you fart so much. That just my .02 worth. Not saying you are wrong. Any way keep up with your training bro. Good luck
I agree with you about not eating them raw, but the notion of the yolk being 'bad' is extremely outdated and only really propagated by soccer moms these days. In a healthy individual, serum cholesterol levels are not significantly impacted by dietary cholesterol. Well, assuming you're getting in at least a moderate amount of fiber!
People that should watch their cholesterol intake are the ones with a high risk of coronary heart disease, extremely obese individuals, or some of guys on more juice than they have in the fridge. Even this is more of a case of "rather be safe than sorry" though, because most every study ever conducted showing a strong correlation has either been on individuals at high risk (meaning just about anything could have increased their risk) or very old.
AnonIf you have any GFS stores they sell cartons of it for about 8 bucks.. it is in the frozen section..
Muscleegg.com Chocalate is fantastic!
Take a look at this. They ship real egg whites directy to you packed in ice. They say this product is ran through a process (pasturization)that eliminates bacteria but doesn't cook the egg whites and makes them tasteless/odorless. They claim ''When you cook an egg white to the point of scrambled eggs, you are overcooking the protein and denaturing the true value of the protein.'' Anybody tried these?

Anonthey probably irradiate it..
Don't stress their little end claim, they obviously haven't taken a general biology class. You cook your meat before you eat it right? Denaturing a protein is not the same as destroying it. You're simply causing the protein to lose its structure (and thus its function.) Considering its transported down in that tummy of yours anyways (which produces hydrochloric acid with a pH ranging between 1-2ish) it's going to get denatured one way or another! You eat protein for the amino acids they're made of, not for the actual 'protein' itself.
your rite, its prolly just a marketing scam for them to make a quick buck. Sure their product prolly works to get some amino acids but they just try to come up with some things to say to talk their product up to make more money.
AnonIf this is the same company I think it is, I used to buy them.. they were great except after a few orders they decided that they weren't going to send me my egg whites.. I figure since I am not competing any longer I just eat my eggs and am happy.
Did you call them and ask why they wernt shipping them to you? What did they say? I would be pissed.
AnonThey kept saying they were sending it out... it was a hundred bucks ...I finally had an attorney friend of mine send them a letter...we got it in two days....I haven't ordered from them since and won't I can get egg whites from GFS if I want them but I generally eat the entire egg anyway:-)
The origional basis for cholesterol being bad is a marketing taking advantage of a flawed study, it was done on rabbits and rabbits do not eat meat, the is also record of a man who lived with inhuits for 18 yrs he ne at fat blubbery foods and meat only, you also manufacture way more than you can ever eat. ecto, endo and meso have all been linked with cholestrol issues and has nothing to do with consumption it is to do with stress as it is released as part of flight and fight system to protect the body.
I eat 12+ eggs a day whole im fine been doing so for months on end, animal fats are also gd for you. Separated egg white also go through a heating process, this will denature the quality, whole fresh organic farm is the best, but i cant afford at the moment so Tesco is! scrambled at a low heat is best not to destroy quality. Cheap manufactured chickens are given anti-biotics and ppl that have worked with them in environments have become immune to anti-biotics, so organic is best when you can afford in long run as they are not just corn fed, also.
Anonnew research shows that dietary cholesterol has very little effect on blood cholesterol levels (an no the research wasn't done by the egg companies ;-)
Guys - the information that the yolks are bad for you was from studies done in the 1970's before the difference between the effects of HDL and LDL was understood. Back then, they thought all cholesterol was bad. Recent studies show whole eggs increase good cholesterol and have no effect on bad cholesterol until you get up to 6 or so a day. Most of the nutrition in the egg comes from the yolk, not the whites. All of the vitamins and more than half the minerals in an egg are in the yolk. 40% of the protein is in the yolk as well, along with almost all of the flavor! So... if you don't like separating eggs, just eat the whole thing. Yeah, it's got some fat in it, but so what? The body absolutely needs fatty acids in order to function properly. Plus it's a lot easier to get 3500 cal from a diet which includes a reasonable amount of fat because fat has 9 cal per gram versus 4 for protein and carbs. And fat doesn't cause insulin spikes like some carbs do. If you buy free-range eggs, they are also a source of Omega-3.
Anoni decided to be lazy and assume this info is correct when my wife and i made oatmeal cottage cheese pancakes yesterday! lol!
1 serving
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup oats
1 tsp vanilla
4 egg whites
blend all ingredients and cook just like pancakes over medium-low to medium heat
i had to separate the yolks and had 6 of them (i made more than 1 serving) sitting in a bowl so i decided to make an egg yolk omelet with pepperjack cheese.
it. was. the. shit.! still don't know if the info here is true but i don't care! it was too good to not do it again! just be careful when you cook the yolks (greasing the pan isn't necessary by-the-way if you used the same pan as the pancakes without cleaning it) because they "pop" and splatter onto your chest when you fold/flip it!
everyone should try these!
That sounds so amazing thanks man! Printed and trying tomorrow morning!!!!
Powdered egg whites also make excellent scrambled eggs/omellets and other mixes where eggs are required. Just add a 1/4 cup milf to every 25g egg white powder.
Bostonmmmm...sounds great but i prefer 2-3 full cups of milf in mine!
