Egg White Protein

Egg White Protein – Do you gain more Muscle?

Sure all of us who are into training know that eating (and drinking) protein frequently throughout the day is extremely important if we want to gain lean muscle mass quickly…But the question remains – Where exactly on the spectrum of muscle gain protein sources does egg white protein fall? As with most things in life, the truth of the matter can be found closer to the middle of these two extremes.

“One egg white contains 6 grams of high quality muscle building protein and 0 grams of fat!”

With the exception of good old H2o, protein is the most abundant building block of lean muscle mass. If your goals are to gain lean muscle mass, consuming a decent amount of lean protein should be one of your top priorities.

Pure Liquid Egg White protein from Egg Whites International was the best money I have spent so far and would have no hestitation in recommending it to potential customers. Who has the time to crack open two dozen eggs every day, separating the yolks from the whites because of the cholesterol, cook, eat, and clean up – it is very time consuming especially if you have a busy home, work life, workout schedule. Who wants to spend time cracking open eggs.

Here are a few more interesting egg white facts…

* The technical term for egg white is albumen
* The egg white makes up about 2/3 of the total mass of the egg (out of the shell)
* 90% of the mass of the egg white is actually water

It’s interesting to note that egg white contains an enormous quantity of different types of protein!. This diverse protein makeup allows for easy digestion and absorption into your body. There is one condition however…You must properly cook the egg white in order to unlock it’s full amino acid spectrum and make it easily digestible. If you try to drink it raw which I’ve never been able to do, you run the risk of exposing yourself to salmonella. If you cook an egg white too much (scrambled egg consistency), you begin to overcook the protein and loose the complete nutritional value of the egg white protein.

As a benchmark, keep the cooking temperature below approximately 66 degrees C.

Eggs are a great source of vitamins, including vitamin E, K, A and B vitamins such as B12, riboflavin and folic acid. Eggs also contain all eight essential amino acids which are needed for optimal recovery from intense muscle building workouts. With high quality protein consumption a top priority for those of us want to gain muscle mass, egg white protein may very well be one of the most complete and versatile foods available.
When other forms of dietary protein are measured for quality in a lab, they are compared to the protein found in egg whites!

A complete and affordable source of high quality protein, egg whites should get some serious consideration as one of the lean protein sources you include in your muscle building nutritional plan.
