Does it matter how I take my eggs? - Ðr1ps - Jul 4, 2015
My work-out routine requires 4 eggs a day. So I'm wondering, does it matter how I take them? Whether they are boiled, fried, mixed with stuff or whatever.

Presume OP is referring to a plan where workouts and diets are covered.

I need proteins, that's how.
So it doesn't matter even if they are raw or overcooked?

What is IIFYM exactly? I'm allowed to eat anything as long as I include some particular ones in them

It does matter. I'm gonna to tell you now that you shouldn't be eating 4 egg yolks. Now when it comes down to cooking the eggs you will want to use the less fat as possible or close to it. So boiling would be your best option, or you can cook them fried with a bit of coconut oil. (my personal favorite) The smallest bit of fat can really mess up your results, if you are going for size then you can disregard what I just said. If you you are trying to lean out, then I recommend how you prepare your meals.

What are you even saying, "smallest bit of fat can really mess up your results"
No it won't... He needs fats for his hormone production.

I would prefer you to boil / cook the eggs. When the eggs are done, you eat the white egg.
I think that is the best option.

Don't eat them raw, that is pointless.
I eat mine fried, around four eggs a day. I'd scramble them but I don't like cleaning the pan haha. I also use olive oil as a butter substitute when I fry them.
If you plan to eat them raw, make sure they are pasteurized. You can mix some liquid eggs with your protein shake if you want too.

Yeah that's what I meant by eating them raw actually. I mix the whites with my protein shake.

Never throw away the yolk, the egg white trend is stupid. I always eat the whole egg whether I'm bulking or cutting.

An example is mixing oat flour, peanut butter and protein with liquid eggs.

yea, eggs is pretty good for the body, try to take atleast 2 per day

Eat the whole egg, and cook it however you want.
Raw eggs have less bio-available protein

Don't bother only eating the yoke or the whites since they each hold separate essential amino acids, and if you want it as a complete protein source, you want both. The cholesterol in the yoke won't directly effect your own cholesterol levels, and the fats will actually help increase testosterone levels.
