Okay guys... Answer this for me
Raw eggs:
12 good quality eggs for $1.50, 72g protein in a dozen.
That's .69 Cents for 20g serving protein from raw eggs versus $1.20/20g serving of comparable egg protein powder.
As far as I know, you get a little bit less protein out of a raw egg (versus a cooked egg). Still not bad
Raw eggs have way more nutrients, minerals, etc than egg protein powder (it must?).
The chances of getting sick from raw eggs is suppose to be 1 in 30,000?
Eggs are the best source of protein, better than whey.
The white can caused a biotin deficiency, but the yolk makes up for that with its abundance of biotin?
You can quickly and easily down 20g of raw eggs, you have to mix up protein powder with milk or some other shitty drink and it taste like shit and takes forever to drink.
So why not get your protein from raw eggs?
I've been doing it for two weeks and it seems to be going very good.
Been there, done that! I called it "Poor Man's Met-Rx"!!
Vince Gironda, from the old school, used to recommend his clients drink a brew, made of a dozen eggs, half-n-half, and some yeast or protein powder.
I simply cut that in half, drinking one shake in the morning and (if neccesary) a second one before bed.
But, this was back in the 90s, when eggs were well under a dollar a dozen.
As far as getting sick goes, eggs (like other foods) only develop salmonella at the "danger zone". That is, between 40 and 140 degrees F.
Bacteria die in extreme heat or extreme cold. So, either cook your eggs or consume them ice cold. When I was in college, my roommate's mini-fridge would always freeze my eggs solid.
Above all, make sure you clean your blender THOROUGHLY. The one time I got sick was due to my not doing such and unknowingly leaving egg residue on the outside of my blender, which my mother noticed and about which my mother tried to warn me. Hot water, soap, and BLEACH will take care of any bacteria on your blender or any other utensils.
I don't do that any more, simply because it's too easy to get RTDs on clearance for less than the price of the protein in a dozen eggs.
