Which one you prefer? Egg or whey protein? But egg protein's price is much higher than whey...

[monkeybiker]

I would say egg because it is a whole food and has other nutrients as well as protein.

Egg but its more expensive.

[joey622]

But whey is more easy to absorb by our body than egg protein, is it ?

[DaniCali]

i would say white eggs

[DaniCali]

egg protein the one that are half cooked are faster to absorb i believe takes 30 mins, protein shake takes around 50-60 mins, if im wrong by giving this info please correct me someone.

Thanks
Dani.

Possibly but egg is more complete form of protein.

[T.O]

Dani I think hes reffering to egg protein powder.

Whey protein is usually absorbed and gone through the system, aka muscles etc, in about a half hour and then its done.

Casein is slowering, ranging from 4-6 hours, possibly longer if taken before sleep.

Flax oil delays absorption as well, so you can take it in the morning with a shake or at night with a shake to let the protein slowly go out.


Egg contains lot of amino acids, as does Egg protein powders, but most whey/casein are amino fortified anyways so it doesn't really matter. Egg whites are good in the morning usually cause of all the aminos they have in them, but you can eat regular food and take some BCAAs and its essentially the same thing.

Eggs also contain some estrogen... so too much is not a good idea. Most powerbars are made with all three now.

^^^^ Dude you can eat a ton of eggs the estrogen you would get from it is microscopic compared to the protein. All bodybuilders eat 8-12 eggs. Jay cutler grew up on a farm and said he ate eggs all day.
