raw egg protein

[cashmoneyarmy7]

I was telling my dad about protein shakes and he doesnt approve of the idea. i want to still get a significant amount of protein after my workouts to see gains. i was wondering if drinking a cup of raw eggs is ok? im not sure if it's healthy either. if anyone knows anything about this, please comment. Thank you.

Besides the amount of cholseterol and the high risk of salmonela its great!!

He doesnt approve of protein shakes (which are harmless) but would let you chug down raw eggs

Try educating him on protein shakes...how can you be against a good protein shake? Would he be against you eating food too? Because thats basically all a shake is with a few added things in it.

i was talking to my dad about it and showed him what it looks like and all. he says that i can get the protein i need in foods. i told him i would only use it to SUPPLEMENT my growth. he thinks i would use it to be my main source of protein. which i absolutley wouldnt. i would appreciate any help/advice that i could use to get my dad to think the other way. yall can direct what yall say to my dad b/c i will be letting him see this. (and please, keep it clean)
thanks for the help

p.s
my dad perfers raw eggs to protien shakes b/c they r natural and he says that he doesnt like the fact that protein shakes have added chmicals. (???)
Do they?

Prob less then Mc Donalds, or other fast food. Protein powder is alot safer then raw eggs, salmonella is queit a bit worse then any chemicals which might be placed into protein powder.

Edit: The chemicals inside the protein powder is safe as can be, being as most people use it. Including me. Just read up, and the chances of getting salmonella is about 1 in 30,000, per egg. (Not bad) Still, I have yet to hear about a single ill result about protein power. (Unless, of course its overused.) Also, the eating of raw eggs is a continusly changing/confusing subject.
