Egg whites

no good to drink even if there pastureised?


Good question but my guess is no, pateurizing doesn't make them more digestable. The heat is not high enough to cook the egg. I don't know exactly why cooked eggs are more digestable, but cooking causes changes in the protein (denaturization) that causes liquid egg white to solidify for example. Pasteurizing kills some microorganisms, but doesn't cook the egg and so probably doesn't change the digestability. (I don't know of any data about digestability of raw pasteurized egg however).
 
I load them up with cayenne pepper while cooking/scrambling. Adds a nice spice and flavor. You could also add onion/garlic powder or fresh onion/tomatoes.

I've been eating mine with a ton of cayenne pepper and really enjoy.
 
So no good to drink egg whites? Iv been downing 10 egg whites pw for over a month and been mixing them in shakes for almost a year.. I thought the less u cook it the more nutritious it is.
 
Abstract

Egg proteins contribute substantially to the daily nitrogen allowances in Western countries and are generally considered to be highly digestible. However, information is lacking on the true ileal digestibility of either raw or cooked egg protein. The recent availability of stable isotope–labeled egg protein allowed determination of the true ileal digestibility of egg protein by means of noninvasive tracer techniques. Five ileostomy patients were studied, once after ingestion of a test meal consisting of 25 g of cooked 13C- and 15N-labeled egg protein, and once after ingestion of the same test meal in raw form. Ileal effluents and breath samples were collected at regular intervals after consumption of the test meal and analyzed for 15N- and 13C-content, respectively. The true ileal digestibility of cooked and raw egg protein amounted to 90.9 ± 0.8 and 51.3 ± 9.8%, respectively. A significant negative correlation (r = −0.92, P < 0.001) was found between the 13C-recovery in breath and the recovery of exogenous N in the ileal effluents. In summary, using the 15N-dilution technique we demonstrated that the assimilation of cooked egg protein is efficient, albeit incomplete, and that the true ileal digestibility of egg protein is significantly enhanced by heat-pretreatment. A simple 13C-breath test technique furthermore proved to be a suitable alternative for the evaluation of the true ileal digestibility of egg protein.
