Pasteurised egg in a carton. Anyone use?

[NorthMich]

I see there’s a big difference in these liquid egg whites pricing. Target and Walmart have some inexpensive whites, true enough. Brand names like Muscle Egg are more. So it’s a matter of where you want to get your liquid whites and the potential quality, I suppose. Maybe it’s a country of origin thing to get costs down. Maybe they are all 100% the same, but maybe not.

TN powder is $0.065 per gram of protein
Target liquid is $0.05 per gram
Muscle Egg is $0.079 per gram
Organic ME is $0.09 per gram

Pricing seems to have become chaotic with the bird flu killing chickens, I guess. That’s what I’m reading.

Are Raw Eggs Hurting Your Gains?? By Steve Taylor, MS, RD

We’ve all watched that famous scene of Rocky Balboa cracking tons of raw eggs into a glass and then slamming it down to step out the door to begin his run.

Study showing the Avidin binding and limiting absorption. Pasteurizing at 142F snips the Avidin, moving bioavailability from 50% to over 90%. That’s for whole eggs, though

Looking at just egg whites, it’s not necessary. Egg white protein is packaged differently than egg yolk protein, apparently. See here: Heating Has No Effect on the Net Protein Utilisation from Egg Whites in Rats

Note the discussion that at 160F the aminos start weak bonds between chains (they called it coagulation) and that led to a longer time in the gut to retrieve the protein.

Yeah for sure muscle egg is way more. It's nice, but expensive

 

[NorthMich]

Given how simple egg whites are, I wonder if there would be any difference between egg white brands. Like, would egg whites from the largest egg producer in Mexico be any less than an egg white from an organic dude’s backyard?

Interesting article.

Only 5 people involved in the test though so I'll have to say it's inconclusive.

Still interesting though.....

I go through a 32oz carton daily, half for breakfast and the other half before bed. I mix 1 whole egg in with each and I cook them

The need to at least pasteurize eggs to get max protein is reflected in a lot of studies. Including that one I think I linked, that used radioactive tracers to follow the aminos into the muscle. Simple and elegant way to compare pasteurized vs non.

What’s new to me was that it apparently only matters to protein in the yolk

Sams club and Costco have the cheapest prices I’ve found and they are the cheapest by a good margin. I drink a 16oz carton at a time. 50g of protein. They are easier on my stomach than whey

Apparently heavy metals can accumulate in the whites. So if you’re a person that follows or cares about that sorta stuff, there ya go.

I’ve found whey to be getting more intolerable with me also, but one protein/meal replacement I do really well with is Redcon 1 MRE powder. It’s derived from real food sources and when I’m dieting I just use half the serving size to keep the carbs down a bit, it’s good stuff and tastes awesome too

REDCON1 MRE 25 Servings

MRE from Redcon1 is a high quality, whole food protein powder that can be used as a meal replacement to lose weight or to cut calories! You can get a decent meal from MRE because of its wholesome ingredients like brown rice and sweet potato along with beef and chicken. No Whey Protein. Meal...

Interesting!

Anyone consider egg white powder instead of liquid egg whites? I’ve read where the additional processing of the powder (heating it) makes the proteins more bound, and therefore they take longer to digest. Still get digested, but more slowly than liquid egg whites

Not sure if that’s enough if a factor to avoid the egg powder.

I tried it once, but it didn't taste good to me.

FYI for the pasteurized egg whites - there is a difference between pasteurized and cooked.

I drank liquid egg whites for a long time.

I had horrible digestion problems (that I did not attribute to the egg whites). Huge bloating. Horrid, uncontrollable gas that probably violates human rights to let loose in a closed room. My wife took a pic of me when I had my shirt off in the yard and she saw I would not notice the pic. I had visible abs, but my abdomen was protruding like I was 6 months pregnant!

I kept removing or changing foods and finally figured out it was the liquid egg whites.

I eat cooked egg whites with no problems or issues.

So there's that to consider.

I have never heard of such problems, it is necessary to look for information, maybe someone met with such a problem. Have you tried changing the manufacturer of liquid egg whites?

 

[malfeasance]

I have heard of plenty of other persons having the same problems, especially the horrible gas. Talk about a bad problem to have on a date.

 

[NorthMich]

Been eating my own egg whites for years. I pasteurize them at 144F, though. Never had any issues.

Now using MuscleEgg organic whites. I’m sticking to that. So far, so good. Wife likes it better than TruNutrition Whey

It even became interesting, we really need to study this issue.

Yes, I usually break a couple of eggs and already add the rest of the pasteurized proteins and make an omelette

I can eat them just fine cooked. It is the uncooked, but pasteurized eggs that cause a problem for me.
