benefits of different protein types

[GQSuperman]

so, i know whey protein is a good supplment and is beneficial during the day and after a workout b/c it's broken down and utilized rapidly. casein is good before going to sleep b/c its broken down more slowly and can therefore be used by the body throughout the night.

my question is, is there any benefit in including egg protein in one's diet?

[Spoon]

you mean from eggwhites or egg extract? i get a lot of my protein from eggwhites.

[SwoleCat]

Eggs are good, yes.

I know most people just eat the egg whites, but is it ok to eat like lets say 3 whole eggs in the AM for a pro/fat meal?

Most certainly, as long as you include healthy fats like flax/udos/omega 3,6,9/etc. at other meals, you've nothing to worry about as it all balances out.

I buy egg-beaters... is this ok SC??

[GQSuperman]

i guess what i meant was is there a benefit of egg white protein (powder or from teh real thing) over whey or casein? i don't really like the taste of eggs (i can stomach egg beaters if i add meat and salsa) and know that you can buy egg protein powder. should this protein source be a staple in my diet, or is whey protein and protein from meats suffiecient?

[Cry0smate]

Have you tried just separating the whites out??? Egg Beaters isn't 100% pure and it is HORRIBLE.

[slizzut]

I think egg beaters taste like my ass

You dont need the eggs as a "staple". I havent been eating them up to this point but i may start eating them for my pro/fat in the AM after cardio. Alot of people eat the egg whites bc it is quality protein. But there are plenty of ways to get good protein, so dont worry if you dont like eggs.

all the beaters i get are either 99% or 100% real eggs. so i am not sure what you are talking about.

this. i guess i answered my own question.

Whey Protein – Whey is tremendous for post-workouts because that's when your body needs protein the most, and whey digests quickly (30 minutes or so).

Egg Proteins – Egg (albumen) digests at a medium pace (1.5 - 3 hours) so you can use egg products anytime to supply a sustained release of amino acids to your body.

Soy – Soy is the vegetarian's best friend because it is derived from plants and is a protein source. Soy is not as effective in terms of absorption as whey or egg protein. However, soy has many recognized health benefits for women as well.

Casein Products – Casein is digested very slowly (2 - 7 hours) so it would be a good idea to use casein before bed because that is usually the greatest time your body goes without getting protein.

Same here... huh?

[clancywiggum]

egg protein is the absolute best protein, hands down....highly digestible, low in cals (whites), and an "amino bath"
now the smell and preparation aren't pleasant, and you can certainly reach your protein requirements w/o eggs....
it's just an undeniable staple in a weightlifter/athlete's diet, and has been for soooooo long...

do you have to mix it up for all your fat meals or can you have udo's, flax, or olive oils for all fat meals? right now i been using oilve oil for most of my fats. with the exception of yolks in the morning.

I'm pretty sure you can use the same thing throughout the day, but it tends to get old after awhile as i can testify to bc i eat almonds for my fat for 4 meals a day. But im going to start eating whole eggs in the AM and im going to buy some flax and yogurt at the store today bc I am tired of having a shake and almonds all the time.

i feel you on the almonds thing, i use to have the shake with almonds as my fat source 2-3 meals last month but that got old real quick,lol.. those fukcers keeps getting stuck in between my teeth and at the roof of my mouth.

Im going to start a "I Hate Almonds Club"..........****, who am i kidding, im going to keep eating them bc its cheap and easy. For those looking for fat here it is....

Flax seed or oil (I going to go with oil so i can put it in my shake)
Nuts (plain, almonds are probably the best option here)
Fish (espeically salmon)
Olive Oil (you can put it over a salad, hey i didnt say it would taste good)

P.S. This can all be found in the cutting sticky but most people dont read those until they are directed there

dont forget natty PB

Howzabout protein from meats (chicken, fish, beef,etc..)..where do they stand? Prolly longer than casein i should think...
