Then we decided that was stupid. Now, a new study shows that maybe it wasn\u2019t. Check it out.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>\nRocky Drinks Raw Eggs. Should You?<\/h3>\n<p>I don\u2019t remember a lot about the first Rocky movie. Sure, I have some vague recollections about Rocky\u2019s pet turtles, Apollo Creed, and the scene in the ring where Rocky begs Mick to cut his swollen eyelid open so the blood can drain out and he can see the next haymaker coming towards what was once his face.<\/p>\n<p>I do, however, have clearer memories of the training stuff: Pounding sides of beef with his fists and hearing the ribs crack, the classic training montage, and most of all, drinking down five raw eggs first thing in the morning. Was he actually on to something?<\/p>\n<details>\n<summary>\nWhy We Decided This Was Stupid<\/summary>\n<h3>\nWhy We Decided This Was Stupid<\/h3>\n<p>That movie inspired a lot of athletes and wannabe athletes to train like Rocky, but I\u2019m guessing that most quickly found out that pounding a chicken carcass suspended from the basement ceiling wasn\u2019t quite as dramatic or effective as punching a slab of beef in a meat locker (a practice adopted from real-life boxer, Joe Frazier). A lot of athletes were also inspired to eat raw eggs, a practice I\u2019ve called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.t-nation.com\/lean-built-eating\/eggs-healthy-science-protein\/\">stupid<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My primary concern was that eating raw eggs regularly might lead to a biotin deficiency and make your once-pretty skin look like Mick with a bad case of mange. The problem is that raw egg (specifically, the egg white) contains a chemical named avidin, which binds to biotin when ingested, possibly leading to a deficiency.<\/p>\n<p>My advice was to always cook eggs as the heat would denature the avidin and prevent it from binding up your biotin supply.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve also poo-poohed the raw egg thing because of protein dynamics. Quite simply, the protein digestion and amino acid absorption of raw eggs has been reported to be only 51%, whereas cooked eggs clock in at 91%.<\/p>\n<p>But protein digestion and absorption are different from muscle protein synthesis, particularly post-exercise muscle protein synthesis, and no one has ever gotten around to comparing how raw eggs compare to cooked eggs in those departments, until now.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>\nSurprising New Findings About Raw Eggs<\/summary>\n<h3>\nSurprising New Findings About Raw Eggs<\/h3>\n<div class=\"lightbox-wrapper\"><a class=\"lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/e3005ba499509a6fa7955ace228442c22221e020.jpeg\" data-download-href=\"\/uploads\/short-url\/wo99tdhCmfBPH67xEb9fI58MrEA.jpeg?dl=1\" title=\"Eggs\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/e3005ba499509a6fa7955ace228442c22221e020_2_689x388.jpeg\" alt=\"Eggs\" data-base62-sha1=\"wo99tdhCmfBPH67xEb9fI58MrEA\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/e3005ba499509a6fa7955ace228442c22221e020_2_689x388.jpeg, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/e3005ba499509a6fa7955ace228442c22221e020_2_1033x582.jpeg 1.5x, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/e3005ba499509a6fa7955ace228442c22221e020.jpeg 2x\" data-small-upload=\"https:\/\/aws1.discourse-cdn.com\/tnation\/uploads\/default\/optimized\/4X\/e\/3\/0\/e3005ba499509a6fa7955ace228442c22221e020_2_10x10.png\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Dutch researchers randomly assigned 45 healthy, resistance-trained young men to one of three experiments. Each test subject performed 15 minutes of cycling followed by 45 minutes of resistance exercise, after which they received a low-protein control breakfast, 5 raw eggs, or 5 boiled eggs.<\/p>\n<p>Biopsies of the vastus lateralis were taken before breakfast, 2 hours after training, and 5 hours after training.<\/p>\n<p>Sure enough, eating boiled eggs led to 20% higher peak plasma concentrations of amino acids than raw eggs. HOWEVER, post-meal protein synthesis was 20% higher after eating raw eggs and only 18% higher after eating boiled eggs (compared to the control breakfast).<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, there was no difference in post-prandial muscle protein synthesis between eating 5 boiled eggs and eating 5 raw eggs.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>\nEgg-Splain These Weird Findings to Me<\/summary>\n<h3>\nEgg-Splain These Weird Findings to Me<\/h3>\n<p>What they found reminds us that higher plasma amino acid availability doesn\u2019t necessarily equate to additional muscle protein synthesis. True, the boiled eggs digested better, and their proteins were more readily available, but it didn\u2019t matter when it came to building muscle.<\/p>\n<p>Now, things might have been different had the experiment used fewer eggs. Let me explain.<\/p>\n<p>Five eggs provide about 30 grams of protein, which is right smack dab in the middle of the range that\u2019s been shown to maximally stimulate muscle protein synthesis (20 to 40). Ingest fewer than that (20 grams or so), and you might not be growing the maximum amount of muscle; take in more than that (40 grams or so), and you might be putting on an extra coat of paint when you didn\u2019t need it.<\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t assume that any \u201cextra\u201d protein gets wasted because it\u2019s not just the muscles that need protein. Protein is used to build and repair cells and tissues, including hair and skin, not to mention being necessary for the production of hormones and enzymes.<\/p>\n<p>This may be the origin of the whole \u201cthe body can\u2019t absorb more than 30 grams of protein\u201d myth. The purveyors of that hogwash might be confusing plasma levels of protein and the amount of protein needed to maximize muscle protein synthesis. Regarding the latter, sure, more than 30 grams is \u201cwasted,\u201d but the body certainly puts it to use \u2013 just not in building more muscle.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>\nEating Raw Eggs Not All That Stupid<\/summary>\n<h3>\nEating Raw Eggs Not All That Stupid<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/24cf107019f37671c407b1478399bc6af1638180.jpeg\" alt=\"Do-Whole-Eggs-Act-Like-Steroids\" data-base62-sha1=\"5fCOXCn63kZ0nK3gxGIDrh1kXsY\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So, Rocky\u2019s practice of quaffing raw eggs in the morning wasn\u2019t all that stupid. He probably didn\u2019t compromise his skeletal muscle response to training at all.<\/p>\n<p>Still, one wonders about the wisdom of eating raw eggs. The avidin\/biotin issue still exists, but you\u2019d probably have to eat a lot of eggs for an extended period to develop a deficiency in that B vitamin. Besides, you could thwart any biotin deficiency by taking a daily 10 mg. biotin supplement.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s the salmonella issue, but it doesn\u2019t appear to be a big deal. The risk of developing this type of food poisoning from eggs is less than 0.06%.<\/p>\n<p>So, neither of those issues is probably reason enough to eschew raw eggs. But why eat them in the first place? I guess it makes sense if you\u2019re in a hurry, or don\u2019t have access to kitchen implements or electricity, or are a big Rocky Balboa fan.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>\nReference<\/summary>\n<h3>\nReference<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Fuchs CJ et al. <strong>Raw eggs to support post-exercise recovery in healthy young men: did Rocky get it right or wrong?<\/strong> J Nutr. 2022 Aug 9;nxac174. <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35945651\/\">PubMed<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/details><\/div>\n<div class=\"post\" itemprop=\"articleBody\">\n<p>Another great article.
