5 Reasons Eggs Are The Best Muscle Building Food:
Whole eggs
and egg whites have been a primary source of protein for bodybuilders for a
very long time. But many people are concerned that consuming eggs will increase
your LDL cholesterol levels, which is commonly known as the bad cholesterol.
Which can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease.
But more recent research shows that this may not be the case. And if any of the old-school Rocky movies have you believe in that drinking raw egg is a good idea. Then you're gonna want to stick around for the research comparing the protein absorption rates of raw eggs versus cooked eggs.

Let's start with the top five reasons that bodybuilders eat eggs to build muscle.
The first reason:
Body builders
consume eggs in order to build muscle is that it is a source of high quality
protein. It has a rich mix of essential amino acids. Which is important for
muscle recovery repair. Eggs have the lowest energy to the nutrient density
ratio of any food Meaning, that the amount of nutrients you are getting per
calorie is very very high. So along with being a source of high quality protein.
Eggs are also a rich source of several essential nutrients, such as vitamin b12,
vitamin D, Selenium and colon reason.
The Second Reason:
Eggs are a very affordable source of high
quality protein. The average cost of an egg in North America is around 20
cents. So I had six grams of high-quality protein per egg. Someone can eat four
eggs and get 24 grams of protein for under $1. This is the lowest cost animal
protein source, which is typically a more complete protein than plant-based
proteins.
The Third Reason:
Egg white
can be separated from the egg yolk? Before we get into, why this is beneficial.
When they clear up some misconceptions about where the protein in the egg. Actually
is many people believe that the protein is only in the egg white. But this is
not correct. Both the egg white and the egg yolk are highly concentrated in
proteins.
The Fourth Reason:
Eggs have
healthy fats. Such as monounsaturated Fats and polyunsaturated fats, which have
a wide range of health benefits in order to maintain healthy testosterone production. Natural lifters should consume at
least 20% of their calories from healthy fats. Continuously consuming less fat
and this can have a negative effect on your testosterone production. This will
not only affect, how much muscle you can gain, but can also affect your energy, your mood, your sex drive and your overall
well-being.
The Fifth Reason:
Eggs are
very easy and fast to make other animal proteins like chicken breast steak,
lean ground beef, Turkey, salmon can take 30 minutes or more to prepare. A
simple egg dish can be made in just a couple minutes. With more advanced egg
dishes, taking anywhere between 5 and 10 minutes max. There were periods of
time, where a consumption was on a large decline.
This was
because of previous studies correlating egg consumption with increased levels
of cholesterol and risk of cardiovascular disease. But multiple meta-analysis
research reviews and core studies are showing that the correlation between
cholesterol intake from eggs and Cardiovascular disease is weak and other
factors such as saturated fat intake and lifestyle choices deserve more
attention.
Many of
these studies actually found a benefit to egg consumption on things like weight
loss and overall health. Because of the high-quality protein, healthy fats and
high nutrient density. This egg consumption should be a part of an overall
healthy diet and an active lifestyle.
If you want
to increase the digestibility of your egg protein. Then drinking them raw is
not a good idea. After ingestion of 25 grams of raw egg protein, only 50% of it
was absorbed over a 24-hour period. This is 41% less than a 91 percent
absorption rate found. When the eggs were cooked. Meaning you will digest more
of the egg protein.
