hard boiled it is
Or you could just buy pasteurized egg whites and you have next to no risk.

If you know the source and get free range cage-free chicken eggs, you dont got really anything to worry about. Raw eggs like this are a very good source of powerful nutrition.

It might not denature the protein to a huge degree, but eating raw eggs will put little to NO stress on your digestive system as a result of the full complement of enzymes native in the egg. Heating the egg via cooking however will quickly destroy the enzymes which are very heat sensitive.
Orange juice, vanilla Metabolic Drive, cinnamon, 3 omega-3 eggs, and Superfood = quick breakfast.
Doesn’t the high biotin in the yolk cancel out the anti biotin effects?
Also doesn’t stomach acid denature protein as well as cooking?

Raw eggs are only 51% bio-available. Cooked eggs are 95% bio-available.
This means that if you drink 10 raw eggs, your body can absorb only 5 of them. If you drink 4 your body absorbs 2.
Now cooking them increases the protein absorbtion to a whoopin 95%. This is higher than in most foods. Some foods are absorbed better than others.
It is a common misconseption that heating the eggs will denature the protein. This not true, cooking changes the shape of the proteins in an egg when you cook the egg. In this case, denaturing the egg proteins changes the texture of the egg from slimy to firm.
Cooking changes the shape of proteins, but cooking doesn’t take away the amino acids found in them.
Cook your eggs, from an efficiency point of view it hold many advantages.
Now considering the theory of bio-availability, let me try to change your mind.
You will get the same amount of protein+nutrients if you-
- Drink 10 egs
- Eat 5 eggs.
So if you say you cant eat as many eggs cooked, the answer is you dont need to.
Digesting the raw egg will also put alot of stress on your digestive system.
Hope this helped.

So, would you (or anyone else) advise that you cook eggs first, even if your going to throw them in a blender with other stuff? I have a hard time eating eggs by themselves, so blending them makes them go down easier.
On another note, does your body still absorb calories and nutriuents from a liquid food source (such as blended eggs, milk, and PB) as well as it normaly does from the solid food source (such as scrambled eggs)?
Cooked eggs are better than raw frim few reasons. They are more absorbed + they don’t contain avidin which blocks absorption of vitamin B1 + you can get Salmonella by consuming raw eggs. And you know what Salmonella is. The possibility to get it from raw eggs is small, but it exists, and that is very nasty bacteria
