    Just wondering if anyone here has experience horsing back raw eggs. I've done it a couple of times now without adverse effects but wondering what the general consensus is?

    p*****g against the wind tbh. you will absorb more protein from cooked eggs. if you need a quick easily absorbable source of protein and you cant use whole food, use whey shakes.

    Despite the fact that every pseudo dietician now tells you that you can't absorb them or whatever I often crack two or three yolks into a pint of milk for added calories n stuff. It's only the white that doesn't get digested when raw, the yolk does and that's where all the protein and fat is.

    Just do the cracky, movey, sidey sidey thing to drain the whites over the sink. If that doesn't make sense, ask your mother.

    Proportionately more protein in the white than in the yolk. About (from memory) 3g in the white and 2g in the yolk in a small egg. You're right though, the yolk contains all the fat or as I like to call it "taste".

    Raw eggs taste manky I have no idea why someone would want to consume them over cooking them. Horse semen also contains a lot of protein and unless that thai hooker was telling me fibs, also tastes manky, so why not go the whole hog?

    This is completely wrong. The yolk contains some protein, but not all. In fact the white has the most

    Thats just manky.
    if you want to drink some calories why not get a shake of some kind. They generally come in a wide variety of flavours, including chocolate, strawberry, vanilla even unflavoured for the less adventurous amoung us.
    Granted, i've yet to see a raw egg flavour, so if thats what your after, keep doing what your doing.
