Are hard-boiled eggs less nutritious?

What effect, if any, does hard-boiling of an egg have on
its nutritional value?

Just a guess, but perhaps the yoke is not much changed as
far as absorption goes, but if you don't chew the rubbery
whites sufficiently, some large chunks might go straight
through. Depends how fast the proteases in the gut work.

But the change in the white of the egg indicates a change
in the proteins it contains, right? Does this change
decrease their nutritional value, increase it, or leave it
unchanged? Heat usually denatures proteins, but I'm not
sure what the nutritional implications of that are. You
actually need the amino acids rather than the proteins that
contain them, right?

hard boiled egg white gives you pure protein, that helps
burn the fat buld muscle, i supplement mine with a product
that supplements the protein and provides amino acids, this
is good for me as i don't eat fish, it amino charge and
aminno regulator, my weight stays at 158 and i am a 5 10 old
man. i get it at ran23healthyoudeserve.comran23healthyoudeserve.comOpen ↗ my body
fat stays under control and i have a high energy level.

What does raw egg white give you?

Pure protein with chance of getting salmonela ?

I didn't think denaturing proteins (gently, like boiling)
did much damage to the AAs, just screws up the protein
structure? They make peptone broths for growing bugs in by
boiling up meat for weeks I believe. Has eggwhite got much
in the way of essential AAs? Even if you stuff up the AAs a
bit, their nitrogen can still be used for making other non-
essentials can't they? I don't go for raw eggs much, but
fried easy-over... MMMMM!!!
