Egg Protein as a Source of Power, Strength, and Energy


High-quality proteins make a valuable contribution to the synthesis and maintenance of muscle and indirectly to the regulation of blood glucose levels, thus contributing to power, strength, and energy.

Eggs have traditionally been used as the standard of comparison for measuring protein quality because of their essential amino acid (EAA) profile and high digestibility.

They provide a nutrient-dense source of energy from protein and fat, approximately 75 kcal per large egg, as well as several B vitamins, including thiamin, riboflavin, folate, B12, and B6, which are required for the production of energy by the body.

Given the unique complementary relationship between the EAA leucine and glucose utilization by muscle, it would follow that a diet rich in the amino acid leucine would be advantageous to men and women undergoing endurance training. Leucine is also a critical element in regulating muscle protein synthesis and may be the key amino acid defining the increased needs for EAA to optimize skeletal muscle mass.

Increased tissue levels of leucine combine with circulating insulin to allow skeletal muscles to manage protein metabolism and fuel selection in relation to diet composition.

Moreover, muscle recovery from exercise, both resistance and endurance, seems to be dependent on dietary leucine. Because eggs are an excellent, nutrient-rich source of leucine, as well as other EAAs, these protein-related benefits may be important to active individuals who routinely consume eggs as part of a varied, balanced diet

I agree with all of that with the exception of "high digestibility". I love eggs and have eaten them all my life, still do. However, I don't digest them well, neither does my wife. No matter how we fix them. Hence, always good to have some Pepcid AC handy.

Hello,
Egg protein empowers muscle development and has been shown to build muscle protein combination in college thinks about. These impacts likely outcome from the high grouping of the amino corrosive leucine - inexact 9%. Leucine is the significant amino corrosive in charge of fortifying the union of muscle protein after a supper. The main protein source that contains more leucine than an egg is compelling whey.

Egg contains 10% to 20% more leucine than most other protein sources

Hello,
Please suggest me which protein can I take instead of egg?
As I am a vegetarian, I can't have an egg so, please recommend any other protein instead of egg.

Kinda tough to build a physique and be a vegetarian. Can you do milk products? Fish? If not, then you're relegated to things like beans and soy products. One of the whole purposes of being vegetarian for people is to stay stay lean. Can't always have your cake and eat it too. But I'm not an authority on it.

Perhaps forget about lifting weights and take up badminton?


But yeah as Pen said, you're fighting an uphill battle if trying to optimally build muscle tissue. I've read Bill Pearl was a lacto-vegetarian - quite different from the full fledged thing though. Can you eat fish? How about pork?

Back on topic - I've heard Vince Gironda used to say eating 36 eggs per day would produce steroid-like gainz, assuming one was training hard and getting adequate sleep/rest.
