Raw Eggs For Weight Gain?

Apparently, in Rocky VI, Rocky Balboa is again drinking raw eggs just as he did in the original. From time to time I get asked if raw eggs are a good thing to do for weight gain. The answer is no, there isn't an advantage to drinking your eggs.

A good article here on Rocky, the history of raw egg drinking and why you should go ahead and cook your eggs.

As it is, Sylvester Stallone's latest will probably inspire some extended bathroom time from fans trying to emulate the aging boxer (what is he? 60?). But then, Stallone hasn't exactly shown himself to be too concerned about disseminating sound nutritional advice to his fans as evidenced by the marketing of his Instone nutritional supplements.

yes there is the advantage is this: you can easily drink raw eggs and consume ALOT MORE PROTEIN and EGGS, probably 2.5 times, the ammount u could fit in your stomach if they were cooked.

and its the cooking of the proteins that change the good cholesterol to bad.

Obviously the person who wrote this is as ignorant as a fat person ordering a diet coke with his fried chicken. Raw eggs are easy for your body to digest and the protein structure changes when you cook an egg.
