Alot of people ponder the same questions about eggs.

Is it safe to eat raw egg?

Do I get more protein value from raw egg?

Will I reap the benefits of eggs by eating them raw.

Well , theres only one answer; thats no , no and no. Thanks to popular movies such as Rocky , people have a notion that drinking raw eggs provides the maximum benefits of nutrients , which isn’t really the case at all. Let’s take an inside look and see why…

Egg protein is a great source of quality protein , studies even suggest egg protein can help prevent the negative effects of overtraining. The best way to consume egg protein is thru cooked egg whites , or egg white protein powders.

Myths & Truths Of Eating Raw Egg

Drinking raw eggs gives you more protein. This is false. (Not only will you get less protein by eating it raw , but you will develope a biotin deficiency.)

It is completely safe. This is false! Risk of getting salmonella are 99.9% more higher eating raw eggs than eating cooked eggs.

You get less cholestrol. You don’t , infact it contains the same ammount as long as you eat the yolk.To break things down. Eating raw eggs will only get you 30% - 40% of the protein while cooked delivers 90% of the protein. Which means one cooked egg you eat contains more protein than 2 raw eggs. You do the math.Another thing you should know is biotin. There’s a protein in egg whites called avidin that binds to biotin (a type of vitamin B) , making it useless to the body. Now when you cook eggs, the avidin is deactivated. If you eat egg whites raw, it’s pretty much guaranteed that you will develop a biotin deficiency.
So while egg protein is a quality source , the hyped benefits of eating it raw just don’t add up. It’s advised that you stick to cooking eggs before eating them.There is also tons of egg white protein powders available , which is very popular for body builders. In my opinion those are good as supplements , but of course if your an egg lover , just go eat some eggs.
