I will still stick with drinking raw eggs as the reason i eat raw eggs is that i can eat 10 raw eggs without even a dent in my stomach as they haven't expanded, so its an easy way to obtain extra calories.

Apparently there was a study done.

researchers have found that egg protein is more bioavailable when heated. (Thanks for the NPR link, Tuscoyote!) Here?s the study referenced in that interview. The study showed that egg protein is more digestible (94% versus 55-64%) when heated, probably due to alteration of the protein?s structure and the ability of digestive enzymes to infiltrate peptide bonds. Whether you eat your eggs heated or raw (or a little of both) in part depends on your goal in eating them to begin with.
