It solidifies because of the eggwhite's protein. The liquid is made up of 10% protein and 90% water. The protein is made up of long chains of amino acids. When heated the weak protein bonds break and the proteins unfold. Then the amino acids form weak bonds with the amino acids of other proteins (coagulation).

Is it true that foods may be solid or liquid?

Yes on a few counts... First, there are solid foods, like bread, and liquid foods, like milk. There are foods that undergo a phase change when they're heated, like eggs. Eggs are liquid (well, gel) until you cook them, and then they solidify. If you cook cheese, it transforms from a solid to a liquid.

Why do not guys cook for their selves while the girls get ripped muscles?

That sounds a bit like an assumption that just because one guy you know doesnt cook then therefore NO guy has EVER cooked while ALL girls work out. This is just not true. If one person doesnt cook while you work out it is most likely because they dont like to or know how to cook. I bet the guy you are referring to does not cook while you sleep either.
