Any athlete that eats raw eggs has been severely misinformed.

Eggs that are cooked have FAR more readily absorbable protein in them than raw eggs do, and they aren’t a risk for salmonella.

Raw eggs:

1. Poor digestibility
2. Less protein absorption
3. Risk of bacterial infection (Salmonella)
4. May block the absorption of protein
