I wouldn't say that raw are are good for you at all. And in some cases can be very very bad for you.
If you want to bulk up then you need to increase calories. you just have to make sure that they are clean calories.
For example:
Bad way to bulk up: "I'm trying to bulk up so I'm eating all of my meals at McDonalds"
Good way to bulk up: "I'm trying to bulk up so I've boosted the intesity of my workouts, and I've increased my intake of clean calories like fruit and veggies, salads, lean meats and meal replacement shakes."

Raw eggs, yummie!
Eggs are a great source of protein. Be aware of the overal fat content. I eat them raw all the time, and cooked too. No problem.
I don't worry much about the fat content. My fat levels are extremely low, as I'm an exomorphic rake who eats mostly veggies and fish, so I can pretty much get away with (and probably need) fats from eggs, cheese etc (in moderation).
As for SARS/salmonella, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger! Er, except having your spine broken or something...
I think you mean ectomorphic. Unless your body mass really is on the outside.Originally Posted by Mat
Ew!
I eat them raw occasionally, although the nutritional value is probably higher when cooked ( http://www.nutrition.org/cgi/content...ct/128/10/1716 )
Makes it easier to watch my diet!Originally Posted by Mo Lung
LOL, yeah and that from an English teacher too...
Raw eggs are a risk, like eating raw chicken in my book. Nothing wrong with cooking them up. I eat a couple of eggs each day, usally 3-4 egg whites and one yolk. I'll scramble em or boil em.

I'd tell you to go to hell, but I work there and don't want to see you everyday.
Raw eggs are fine here in Oz. But it's cheaper (per mass of protein) to buy protein powder.

Here in the states most chicken farmers put scat in the feed to increase proteen. Problem is this concentrates salmonella in the bird and the eggs.
But eggs are a natural wholefood, not a processed powder like protein powder. I'm not saying this is why I eat raw eggs necessarily, but a lot of people like to stick as much as possible to natural wholefood.Originally Posted by Toby
Scat? As in sh!t? Or does scat mean something else over there? And how does that increase protein in the food?Originally Posted by TonyM.
Sure. OTOH there's the whole egg yolk/cholesterol thing. Problem is, that argument seems to change every few years and I'm not sure what the current research indicates. Yeah, I like eggs. I even used to buy 1L cartons of egg whites from Coles before I got onto the protein powder. But fuck me, that shit was nasty. Not all nice and clear and consistent, but lumpy with large egg-sized globs of opaque stuff. I was often on the verge of throwing up while trying to drink a shake with that stuff in it.Originally Posted by Mo Lung
