Raw Eggs



Hate washing dishes? Hate cooking? Now, there's a new way to get the protein you want and need in the morning! Just grab some eggs from the fridge, crack them into a glass and drink away! 6 raw eggs will give you around 36 grams of protein. I did this one Saturday morning not too long ago. I really didn't feel like cooking that morning and also had some motivation to try something over the top (I was listening to Eminem after I woke up). If you're wondering why I keep squinting it's because I don't have my glasses on. Don't try this at home, kids.

What are some advantages to doing this?
- No cooking required
- Minimal amounts of cooking required
- Fast protein (eggs have the highest grade rating of protein compared to any other food)

Disadvantages?
- Low chance of getting salmonella poisoning
- Taste is awful
- Terrible texture of each individual yolk going down

My final two cents on this: I think that having a few raw eggs here and there is fine for the most part. It's alright if you want to throw one or two in a protein shake or something. However, if you have too many, start combining it with some form of dairy, or just drink raw eggs for the hell of it, then I feel that it isn't worth it. There are so many other options I could of had in the morning to achieve that amount of protein. I could of had two scoops of whey protein and got an additional 14 grams of protein on top of that. If you got a strong stomach and don't mind the disgusting feel of raw eggs, then go for it. I, however, won't be eating raw eggs again for awhile. (I say that yet I'll probably be eating them raw next morning)
