i asked a simliar question in April 2003...

see http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24606&highlight=eggs

for the last 6 weeks i have been eating 2 raw eggs a day - usually right before i go to bed.

for me it seems to be working well as i have trouble getting enough calories - and the extra protein is good - and drinking down 2 eggs before i go to bed is fast and easy - that way i get a 6th or 7th meal per day (i'm again on my weight-gain program - at 6'1" was down to 150lbs in November, started a gain program in January and now up to 161lbs with a goal of 165lbs -- the last few pounds are proving to be hard to gain, but mostly because i'm now doing so much cardio --- riding season again! and down to 2 weight training sessions per week, sometimes less with MTB trips and vacations)

in the above thread are a few good links. the 2 best are:

Hi,
I would buy the freshest, highest quality, locally produced, organic eggs I could find.
