does anyone know about how many grams of protein are in one raw egg? how bout cooked? i get the bigass white eggs if that matters.
 
It's around 4 grams for the egg white, I pitch the yellow.
I eat 10 egg whites every morning and thats roughly 40 grams.

The yolks are far from worthless. they are in fact the most nutritious part of the egg most people won't eat it though for fear of the cholesterol which they are finding could be a myth.

its right at about 6g for the white. don't eat the yolks-they are worthless



Better stay closer to 4 grams. 6 is a little high unless your gettin Ostrich eggs. lol

They are the best part,and bad cholesterol is only present when they are cooked
 
Eggs should be eaten raw,cooking kills some protein and changes structure of cholesterol making it bad. 1 in 20,000 grain feed chicken eggs contain semonila but only 1 in 50,000 organic eggs contain it. The yolk has all the vitamins and the good fat. the eggs could be checked to see if bad. I just wrote all this,and got knocked off,and i don't feel like writting again... O yeah and since the meat in food stores comes from grain feed cattle,fish is filled with Mercury,and processed Milk just sucks,eggs are one of the healthiest whole protein foods your going to get

Could you please post a reference for this info (website, journal article, etc.). Thanks.

Also, there are studies that say egg proteins when cooked, are better assimilated than raw.

Here's one of them:

Evenepoel P, Geypens B, Luypaerts A, Hiele M, Ghoos Y, Rutgeerts P.
Digestibility of cooked and raw egg protein in humans as assessed by stable isotope techniques.
J Nutr. 1998 Oct;128(10):1716-22.

This is not a flame, I just would like to expand my knowledge and would appreciate any help. Thanks.
 
I downloaded a diet plan from Mercola.com into acrobat reader a while ago,but i don't have it anymore. Check his site,he talks about raw eggs alot. He also says not to mix the raw eggs in a blender,because that also destroys the protein. I've been on his site for some time now,but i just can't find all that info right now.
 
Here is the link to all that raw egg stuff he was talking about.

Yeah but there is more in his diet plan. I will try to find it tomorrow. He used to think that the egg whites shouldn't be eaten raw but now he says it's ok as long as the raw yolk is eatin with it. :o im tired
 
Sorry,

No matter what some experts say about drinking raw eggs, I will not try the 1 in 50,000 russian roulette game. I have heard stories of people going to the hospital because of this. Actually, a friend of mine was staying with me for awhile, and he thought he was some sort of (wannabe) bodybuilder. I found out he was drinking raw eggs...well, a month or so later he was at the hospital with bad stomach pains and he lost a ton of weight. Makes me think it was the raw eggs.

Think about it, would you guys eat raw chicken right from the meat department? Of course not.
