eat your egg raw??

RomeoLives Posts: 3 Joined: 2002/04/29	2002/04/29, 04:45 PM is there, for example, a difference in the protein content between a cooked and a raw egg? I mean, does cooking reduce the protein ammount??

Same with the egg. By cooking the egg, the human body will actually absorb more protein because our bodies have not adapted to eating raw eggs and meats. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"
