Any reason not to throw in raw eggs with your protein drink?

[robsatx]

I go to the gym @ 5:30 AM. Get home at 7:20 take my WPI and recently added two raw eggs to my nearly 40g of protein as my post workout drink. Any reason not to do this?

Salmonela is the offical answer. It's your risk and the risk is small.

i wouldnt do it....food poisoning is a bitch...you will lose a good 10 pounds.

chances are about 1 in 10,000 of getting a bad egg.

Salmonela aside, I think that is a 1 in 20000 event, raw egg is not digested as well as cooked egg.

that was enough a reason for me to stop a long time ago. i was doing the raw eggs with heavy cream drinks, along with red meat and cheese, a'la vince gironda. just seemed w/o much carbs i looked flat. this was a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away though.

Salmonela--exactly........if u wanna be sick go ahead.. no use in that at all... plenty of other ways to get tons of protein

I do the same thing. I throw in 3 egg whites with my shake.
Whats the chances of getting salmonela though?
I buy a fresh dozen of eggs every 4-5 days.
