    Egg whites has has far more complete Amino Acids profile over Whey. its .97 vs .92 in Whey.
    On the other hand about 75% of the whey protein is consumed. Say you take according to the nutrition chart 25 grams in one scoop, you actually got about 17-18 grams only. In the egg whites 1 cup wjites is worth about 40 grams of which your body consumes about 36-37.

    And of that only 20-25% of the AA is actually assimilated as new mass. Damn laws of thermodynamics.....LOL

    from the arnold s. enclyclopedia of bb, eggs need the yolk to be a complete protien. the whey I have says its 100% ba (bio-available), ie, complete

    Thats why the Egg whites are 97% complete.
    It is complete is different than what your body will use.
    it could say (and I doubt it is) 100% but in case of Whey, u are lucky if ur body used 75% of it.

    are you sure about this. cause if so Im going to start dropping the yolks. If I had to guess id say it was closer to 67%. which is how complete the chicken is post birth.

    For the past 7 years I have been using 20-30 Egg whites/day instead of shakes.
    Obviously it works.
    Research it.

    do you drink them also? I find it much easier to drink the allwhites than cook them and try and eat them. The ones I have are heat pasteurized so I am still convinced I am getting all of the possible bioavailable protein.
