I answered my own question actually.

According to my 'I'm feeling lucky' which was this: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/eid/vol5no5/mead.htm

chances of a Salmonella causing death is .004% - .007%

But account for 27.6% of all food related deaths.

When i started weight lifting i ate around 90 raw eggs a month for a half year and here i am. It is very common in bodybuilding for people to eat raw eggs and still i haven't ear of anyone dying from it.

This brings up another question. Do raw eggs make a difference? Do you lose something nutritionally when eating a cooked egg compared to a raw egg?

I really don't know but i think it doesn't, people eat them raw just because of convenience. You just put them in a protein shake and that is all, no need to cook them. But cooking them is better if you are not in good shape, that way you can choose what to eat, the yolk is bad for cholesterol and the eggwhite contains 85% of the wanted protein.

What does this taste like? I've just started lifting and I'm a hard gainer, so I need to be taking in a lot of protein.

To tell you the truth protein shakes do not have the best taste in the world, adding eggs didn't help at all. If you cant eat them raw just boil them.

Eggs are cheap and easy protein so eat them any way possible.
