do you eat raw eggs?

Mmmmmmmm salmonella



I ALWAYS cook my eggs, eating them raw is asking to get sick.

all eggs and raw poultry contain salmonella but not always in high enough concentration to make you ill....personally ill always cook em they taste better...its safer ......beats screaming out "oooooohhhhh adrien i just shit my pants and threw up at the same time" after youve done the raw egg rocky thing......and got salmonella poisoning.

If you don't have time to cook them, at least microwave them real quick. Eating them raw, if they are unpastuerized, is asking for trouble.

I often notice crap on the shells of eggs. It reminds me that these eggs are delivered in a less than sterile environment. I simply have no interest in eating raw eggs. Cooked eggs have lots of good protein; I'm sure of that, and I enjoy cooked eggs (to a point). Eggs are cheap. I do need to learn to throw away the egg yolk, seeing as I have a cholesterol problem.

i always boil my eggs and eat them in about 3 bites. im never able to eat as many eggs when theyre scrambled or cooked out of the shell.
when i peel them i always crack the shell and pull off a small bit. then i rub at the thinnest top layer of skin and peel away the shell like that because it usually gets the shell off in a few big pieces rather than having tiny shells everywhere.

my question is how much nutrition is in this skin im peeling away? i know its a bit anal to worry about such a small detail but does it make a difference? i can peel the shell away without peeling off the skin.

I have a high metabolism, so I eat whole scrambled eggs, though I usually have it with fresh squeezed juice from off of my trees, or I'll have a bottle of Ensure Plus.

I have my eggs scrambled, and I eat the equivalent of about 6 eggs as I have a high metabolism, but to balace the meal I'll have my eggs with some fresh squeezed juice from the friut that I grow in my backyard, or I'll have a bottle of Ensure Plus.

Cooking eggs increases bioavailibility.

Go to nutrition.org and search for the following study for more info:
Digestibility of cooked and raw egg protein in humans as assessed by stable isotope techniques.
