Raw Egg

[Shar]

I always eat the mixture too

Pasteurising them, in my opinion, destroys more of the nutrients in the yolk than if boiled, poached, scrambled, fried, etc. Not that the difference is huge of course. The main reason I think they would be inferior is if you cook pasteurised eggs, makes them far more nutrient sparse than regular eggs.

I also don't see why you are that worried about minor differences in calories, the yolk is far superior to the white anyway. All this ridiculous ******** you hear about people vilifying cholesterol and saturated fat is, frankly wrong and dangerous. The eatwell plate and the food pyramids are all ******** and they have it totally wrong. Cholesterol is good and saturated fat is very good for you. I don't see why you avoid milk, except maybe the carbs. There has been lots of anti-dairy stigma and it either applies to USA dairy or makes frankly ridiculous claims. I certainly think that if you can get milk from traditional breeds of cattle like Jersey, Guernsey etc there is no problem as they produce A2 casein which is the non problematic one.

I eat 4 whole eggs daily: the yolk and the whites. I cook those and eat it all. I have no problem at all with the yolks, I prefer the whites but I don't dislike them. It's just I drink the whites with the whey as it's high protein and fairly low calories: adding the yolks in would be extra added calories, it would make it taste different and have a different consistency and it'd be a pain in the arse for me measuring it all. Regarding the fat/cholesterol in eggs, I know, there have been studies on this and many found that carbs were the big problem. People eat way too many carbs, and in the end if these carbs are not used they will end up as fat. No milk atm due to carbs, I am on a very very low carb diet (not atkins but similar), if you disagree with the atkins diet then spare me the info, I've read up and deem it safe myself. It's 10x healthier than the **** I used to eat.

I'm eating lots of eggs, cheese, chicken, beef, some salad, whey protein with liquid egg whites, few peanuts and a bit of peanut butter. Of course, taking multivits, which I never did before. My regular diet was along the lines of cereal, crisps, chocolate, sandwich, pizza, chips and coke. Nothing good there at all.

Don't worry, whilst I think Atkins isn't that great I am atm on a very low carb/zerocarb path. Talking 0g of carbs to 10/15g of carbs whilst eating around 3.5k calories. Appetite goes down on a low carb diet lol. I'm adding milk back in to the tune of say 1/2 a gallon, because I'm back on stronglifts which is a linear progression strength program like Rippetoe's Starting Strength and milk is an excellent drink. You could say it's Paleo + Dairy minus all fruits and veg.

I wouldn't like to eat a raw egg alone, but in a cake mix or something I would

The problem I find with the Atkins diet is what it says. It says that you can eat as much fat & as many calories as you want... which is bull. If you only need 2500 calories per day to main weight, then eating 3000 is gonna make you put on fat - the reason they say this however is because all of the fats/proteins supposedly suppress your appetite, hence you won't eat as much. Ah right I see, I'm currently cutting and am on around 2000 calories per day, lots of protein, quite a bit of fat and less than 25g of carbs per day. A week Sunday I am having a cheat meal (or two ) so that'll be nice... gonna try and make chicken nuggets from chicken breast and cheese, you can supposedly make it with that and some eggs, may as well give it a try... my makeshift omelette turned out lovely!

I think calories are a guideline and no more, when following a low carb diet I think things change. Considering the major hormonal changes that happen when on vlc/zc I don't think you can say: You will maintain on this amount of calories. Yes they are a worthwhile guideline but not necessarily correct. I'm eating more carbs now from milk, since I'm sort of paleo/carnivore+dairy including lots of milk (not just for the carbs, I believe muscle building/strength gains on zero carb can be fantastic but because it is perfect for someone looking to get bigger/stronger due to the cell growth it triggers). I avoid all grains, sugars, fruit, most veg etc etc.. Fibre is bad imo, simply turns your gut into a fermentation plant and damages the colon+lining.

[SinglePringle15]
