Think you guys are forgetting the point somewhat.

When you're training hard you don't have time to cook.
Wake up at 4am for your run and think i'm hungry, you didn't get up to cook or mix a drink.
Crack open 4 eggs into a glass and cough them off.

Used to boil them, but then of course you have to chew and eat for 5-10 minuites, and you'll need a drink.

I say they're perfectly safe. I used to do it a lot.
I weighed just above LWW limit and used to throw 6 eggs down the hatch in about 30seconds flat at 4am before a 2 hour run and a nap. Figure the fat in the yokes burnt off as i never gained a pound.
