eggs are toted as "natures perfect protein source". So yes, they are good to add into your diet, but not absolutelt necesary. Theres other ways to eat eggs as well. Scrambled with some lowfat cheese, an omlet with chopped peppers, onions, and turkey or ham, and a little bit of salsa, you can even wrap the omlet in a whole wheat tortilla and make a burrito out of it. You can eat whole egg whites...they pretty muc have no taste and go down real easy.
Id save egg white protein for adding to a whey/casein/egg/soy powder mix for an MRP when you dont have time for a real meal instead just having a shake because you dont want to eat. But yes, egg protein powders are a good source.

yea chicken is a slightly better bargain, but if you get red meat on sale, its the way to go.bertyeo said:yeah i know red meat is gd....but imo i would still go with chicken in terms of cost wise
You can get 2 meals out of a packet of extra lean ground beef, and its usually $6-7 at harris teeter....3 chicken breasts are usually about $6-7 and since i usually eat 1.5 of them at a time, it works out to about the same.

net protein utilization
taken from Arnold's The New Encyclopedia of Modern BodyBuilding:
food / %protein by weight / %net utilization
eggs / 14 / 94
milk / 12 / 82
fish / 18-25 / 80
cheese / 22-36 / 70
brown rice / 8 / 70
meat and fowl /19-31 / 68
soybean flour / 42 / 61
so it basically says that although eggs are only 14% protein by weight, your body is actually able to use 94% of that protein to build muscle, where as chicken is btw 19-31%, your body can only use 70% of that protein to build muscle... thats why protein from eggs is essential because it is the most effective... so hard boil em, scramble, make an omlette, poach em, eat em raw, put em on a sandwiche, but a good diet contains some egg protein...

that's the thing....is I'm getting tired of the same types of breakfast...it's either protein/oatmeal pancakes....or scrambled eggs and a bowl of oatmeal...so I was just thinking of maybe adding some egg protein and choc protein to my oatmeal...and see if that makes it all easier...but I guess then again...we don't always eat for flavor and what tastes good....
