Well eggs in general are a good source of nutrition. However, the yolk is high in fat so most bodybuilders will eat probably 1 yolk for every 4-5 eggs. A little more than half the protein is actually in the egg white. Basically eating egg whites will give you a lot of protein and no fat.

Is it okay to drink raw egg whiteS? I read that its bad to eat them raw since they contain salmonella

And raw eggs inhibit the ability to absorb biotin. It's much better to cook them. And much less nasty. :)

because it's a movie. They want to show how "hardcore" they are. Not to mention generally antiquated. Rocky was a long time ago. :)
