    if anyone remembers the first Rocky movie, he wakes up in the morning, cracks 5 eggs into a glass, and drinks it. He could have gotten the same amount of protein by eating a piece of chicken. Is there something special about egg protein?

    It's the most complete source of Protein there is. MOre complete than even chicken. That's what it says in the nutrition books at least. Eggs are at the top of the list.

    haha, born in 83' here...and theres nothing like watching Rocky train to pump you up. Who doesnt love an underdog? I don't like politics so I don't care about Bush or anyone else.
