Egg Protein

♠️Egg Protein♠️

▪️Eggs are a great source of high-quality protein.

▪️In comparison to all whole foods, eggs contain the highest protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS)

▪️The PDCAAS is a score that measures a protein’s quality and digestibility. 

▪️Eggs also helps you stay full longer by  decreasing your appetite. 

▪️Even though the  protein quality is excellent, you could experience less fullness because egg protein powders are usually made from egg whites rather than whole eggs. 

▪️Eggs are a complete protein source, in other words they have all nine essential amino acids that your body can’t make itself.

▪️Egg protein is ranked second to whey protein as the highest source of leucine, which is the BCAA that is the biggest portion of muscle health. 

▪️The only negative aspect is that egg-white protein hasn’t been studied as much as whey or casein.

▪️Egg white protein is definitely a good option for people that have dairy allergies who prefer a supplement based on animal protein.
