whenever i see someone trying to get in good shape or be fit on tv or in a movie they always put raw eggs in a glass and drink it. why is this /fit/?
is it for the protein or something?

Egg white is almost pure protein

Yeah its an easy prep for quick protein. you're better off not risking salmonella and just buy a shaker cup and a bottle of protein powder....

I actually don't know why they do this shit, considering cooked eggs actually give you more usable protein.

the protein in raw eggs is only 51% bio-available, whereas that of a cooked egg is nearer 91% bio-available, meaning the protein of cooked eggs is nearly twice as absorbable as the protein from raw eggs.

CANNOT UNSEE!

Though what surprises me is how good that photo is. It's from a good angle, nice lighting, obviously used a decent camera with macro... I just don't know WHY somebody would take a photo of such a thing.

Protein absorption is higher in cooked eggs than in raw eggs, and this discrepancy is higher still if solely focusing on egg whites.

Most times when cooking we damage the nutrients within (there are exceptions- lycopene is one that becomes more bioavailable) so yes, nutrient absorption may be lower in cooked eggs, another good reason to eat your veggies.
Finally raw eggs contain the protein Avidin that binds to Biotin, which is necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrate, protein and fatty acids (quite an important vitamin). Cooking denatures the Avidin allowing Biotin to be absorbed, although this only really becomes a problem with high amounts of raw eggs or usage for a prolonged period. Still weighing up the pros and cons I would go the cooked route.

Fuck that, it's because GASTON DID IT.

Though nobody can eat eggs like him, of course.
