How many Eggs do you eat per day?

Why do you have to get up to 270 You into wrestling or something?

Shot put and discus thrower. More of a shot put thrower though

May not be as big as the picture you have in your mind. At 251lbs you would never think I???m that heavy. So many people I know weight less than me and look so much bigger than me, and being 6???4??? don???t help much either

I think it raises the boiling point of the water. Not much use for those at sea level, but definately a plus for us higher altitude folks

Actually salt added to boiling water raises the boiling point.

It is not so much a chemical reaction as much as it is a conservation of momentum. A number of interesting things can follow from this, including discussions of pressure, vapor pressure, phase diagrams, etc.
But in general, the idea is that in order for something to boil, enough energy must be absorbed by it to cause vibrations large enough to enhance the kinetic energy of each molecule to the point where they break away from the coulombic forces that hold them together in the original liquid.

When a more massive solid is dissolved into such a liquid, the energy goes into not only exciting each water molecule to a higher kinetic energy but also each salt molecule to a higher kinetic energy. The more massive salt molecules themselves need a larger contribution of energy in order to excite them. This takes away from the contribution to the water molecules. The increased density ends up requiring more energy for the same amount of excitation that would lead to the boiling of the water.

Put another way, the salt molecules weigh down the water molecules and restrict their movement. This perhaps is easier to visualize.

Using the same logic, you may be able to see that the salt will lower the freezing point as well. And this is why salt (or even better, calcium chloride, an even heavier compound) is used on snow or ice to force it from a solid state back into a liquid state. The salt is an additional impediment to the water molecules' easy organization, so just a small amount of energy is needed to break that solid crystal organization up.

Premier... Isn't that what I said, highlighted in blue. "Salt added to water raises the boiling point"

 

[PreMier]

Yes Randy, thats what you said. Just pointing out that "I" said it first

 

[Randy]

Oh...Ok PreMier.. I will give you credit for that

I just elaborated on it further and provided the scientific reasoning behind that statement.

*** GOOD JOB MAN ******

Only 5...5 whites and 1 yolk for breakfast.

i usually eat 3whole rggs in da mornin after my oaties and 3whole eggs b4 i go to bed, i uz'd to separate them when i first started eatin them, but i guess i'm just a lazzy bastard btw i hate how cooked eggs taste! dont matter how u cook'em, but i like da way they taste raw

 

[Spottieottie]

It's not the taste of raw eggs that sickens me it's the texture. It's like swallowing a long piece of snot or something. Makes me wanna vomit.

 

[Randy]

Agreed Raw Eggs suck

Not to mention the greater risk of getting samonilla

 

[Spottieottie]

Yea, the 5 minutes it takes to cook them is worth it to me.

I believe the main reason people eat raw eggs, is not because they are to lazy to take the few minutes to cook them, but for allergy reasons. Raw eggs are virtually allergy free. When cooking them, your risk for allergies increases greatly.

They say the reason is that heating the eggs changes its chemical shape, and that the distortion can easily lead to allergies.

While there is a risk for Salmonella, the odds are low.
Roughly one in every 30,000 eggs is contaminated.

Are you allergic to eggs?
Do you want to take the 1 in 30,000 egg risk?
Those are the questions you have to ask youself

 

[chronic]

Are you allergic to eggs? nope
Do you want to take the 1 in 30,000 egg risk? i'm a gamblin man

 

[chronic]

actually, if i liked how cooked eggs tasted i would cook'em

I haven't ate an egg in about 3 years. When I was 16-20 whole eggs were my primary source of protein. You might not believe me but I ate 2 dozen+ whole eggs a day. My parents thought that I was nuts and that I would die of a heart attack from the cholesterol...I had yearly blood work done and my cholesterol was always normal. ....I always ate them raw ...I was young and crazy.

I sure don't have the stomach for raw eggs
But eating 2 dozen eggs a day is fine as long as you space your eating out appropriately. Eliminating the yoke is advised as well on all but a few. You need some yoke for the vitamins. But eating 2 dozen yokes a day can be a bad thing especially if trying to cut.

 

[madden player]

.. .eating 2 dozen yokes a day can be a bad thing especially if trying to cut.

Very true.

I was so skinny though that I needed all the fat and calories I could get to gain anything.

I am eating about 8 hard-boiled egg-whites per day, and about 2 yokes, spread out over a coule meals. Adding a couple of eggs per meal, which is already in the 30-45 G of protein range.

Be careful... To much protein can be worse than not enough protein.
IMO if you're getting up to 45grams in your meal, you don't need any more from eggs....

Does drinking eggs provide the same nutrition vs. eating them say scrambled or fried?

The protein can become denatured and lose some properties during heating processes, but your odds of getting food poisoning by eating raw eggs would be my primary concern. My advice to you is not to eat raw eggs, it is not a good safe practice.

What would you consider to much protein? I try to eat between 1.5 to 2 grams per body pound. What are your thoughts

 

[Lord_of_the_GYM]

man thats a lot of eggs in a day .. WOW 66/day thats amazing .. man all i eat is 2 egg whites a day .. but then again maybe that would be one of the reasons that i am not all buffed and beefed up like all these other people over here .. man i should start eating some serious number of eggs/day now

I don't get all of my protein intake from just eggs, silly. Mostly from chicken and whey powers.

It is to my understanding that it is not only the total intake amount of protein to be concerned with, but how much your body can consume or use within a specific amount of time. A rule of thumb that I understood was that you don't want to exceed 50 grams of protein in a 2 hour period of time. I don't know how accurate this is, but I make sure I don't step over that boundary. I know there is a lot of contraversy over this subject. I have spoken to a doctor who studies bodybuilding and he firmly believes that bodybuilders understanding of taking 1 to 1.5 grams per body weight is far to much. He used to be an owner of a gym that I used to belong to. He is also a vegetarian and has written a few books.... Pretty sharp guy. He feels that most body builders consume far to much protein and are at risk of ostierperosis or however the heck you spell that word .. Makes you really wonder though... Just because you read everywhere that 1 to 1.5 grams per lb. of bodyweight is best may not be the case...who knows. I tend to go with the 1 gram to 1lb theory just cause that is what you hear from most body building professionals.... who knows..

 

[Gena Marie]

Thank you for the info. I do cut back in the off season. I probably shouldn't, cause that is when I focus on putting on size, but some times I get sick of it.
