Whey Vs. Egg?

[SEA81]

What's the difference in whey vs. egg protein shakes? Aside from the obvious, I mean. Does it have different health benefits? Is it a taste preference? Is there a huge nutritional difference?

Thanks!

Whey protein is considered the superior protein for speed of absorption, bio-availability, and amino acid content. Egg white protein has a biological value of 88, whereas, whey protein has a biological value between 130 and 160.

I would go with the whey simply because there are more flavors available from what I've seen.

I think Whey is the best supplemental protein you can buy. It's very nutritious and really works. It also has a good taste to it so it shouldn't be too hard to drink it down.

I have heard Whey is very nutritious. Good luck if you try it.

Many people take egg protein due to their intolerance of lactose.I can't think of any other reason why one would choose egg protein before whey.

Eggs are much better my friend ... But yeah whey isn't bad either,but eggs are really really much better !

The first thing is both are processed. Egg has a fantastic BCAA profile. You can go with a mix but real eggs are natures perfect food imo.

I agree with Avalon. You'd do better eating a couple of eggs per day and drinking a whey shake(s) during the day. I'd also advise a casein shake right before bed. That's the combination that I'd advise and use for myself.

Where do you find these items at? I have always heard people using these items, but my local store does not carry them. Is it more at the gyms?

The biggest difference between whey and egg aside from them coming from different sources of course is:

One does have a higher bcaa profile (whey)
One does digest faster and get into the system quicker (whey)
One is a slower release and offers a sustained release of amino acids into the system (egg)

So what does one want to take or how to take, i always suggest to my clients to have a WHEY ISOLATE shake not concentrate, not whey peptides.. ISOLATE shake mixed with a bit of a slow release protein i.e. this can be EGG or Casien for best results .. as you do get a spike in amino acids with the whey which does digest quickly then the EGG protein kicks in and sustains the release of amino acids into the system for better results.

a whey and egg shake before bed is great... if you want to cut down on supplements used use pasteurized egg whites mixed with a whey shake before bed.

Casien is another great source of a slower release protein before bed but again i would mix it with half a scoop of whey isolate just to get that quick and sustained amino acid release. And to cut down on a bunch of the filler that will be in a casien shake.

Hopefully this helps!
