Liquid Egg whites. Cooked or Uncooked?
99% of me believes that drinking liquid egg whites has the same nutritional value as cooking them; however, my friend told me said that a bodybuilder friend of his said that cooking the egg whites "releases" something and is better.

My Ode to her.
I was just feeling a bit creative (or maybe it was the lack of oxygen), but I came up with this. Hope you all like it: My ode to her.... She lives. She breaths. She is an entity onto herself.

What was your best cheat meal you have ever done? The best cheat meal i have ever done was 2 months ago (probably the worst one to this day) was I once ate a whole Large Hawaiian Style Pizza, 2 Bluemoon Beers, and 3 large chocolate chip cookies.
