Eat The White, Avoid The Yellow

Egg is one of the most important sources of protein that can boost up body building. When there were no supplements in the early days, body builders relied on eggs and milk to provide them with the requisite amount of protein.

 Benefits Of Egg Whites
Believe it or not, egg whites are the best absorbing protein you can eat other than whey protein and the most assimilated food. A single egg (with the yolk removed) contains about 3g of high quality protein and about 16 calories. They also contain all eight of the EAAs (essential amino acids), vitamins such as A, E, K, B12, riboflavin, and folic acid. All of these are very important to help not only enhance recovery but to help repair and grow lean muscle tissue after it has been broken down in the gym.


Pre-Packaged Egg Whites


Liquid egg whites are 100% bioavailable in the body for around 4-5 hours (whereas the protein and egg white powders are only around 70-80% bioavailable in the body for around 2-3 hours). This also makes it very convenient and a great choice right before bed. Protein before bed that breaks down slowly as you sleep keeps your body anabolic so you don't waste away any muscle tissue during the fasting period when you sleep. Another nice feature of liquid egg whites is that they are tasteless and odorless which allows you to use them in your protein shakes or for cooking.


There are several places to get your egg whites delivered from. One such place would be Lana's Egg Whites. Lana Battagello, owner/founder, came up with Lana's Egg Whites to help people benefit from a clean protein source. These processed egg whites go through a pasteurization process that leaves the egg whites bacteria free and ready to go straight into your glass or shaker bottle. This particular brand of egg whites come in an 8.5 pound container and each container equates out to 165 egg whites. The containers are to be stored in a refrigerator until ready to be used.


Just one cup of these liquid egg whites will give you 28g of high quality protein with zero fat and cholesterol. There are no chemicals or preservatives used in their egg whites and you can use them for just about anything ranging from protein shakes/smoothies, omelets, baking, just about anything your mind (or stomach) can come up with.


In addition to being good for you, these liquid egg whites take out the work of separating all the eggs you want to cook, all the mess it creates, and all the time you waste prior to eating and refueling your body. Let's face it, we all could use more time in the day to get stuff done. Factor in the time it would take to constantly be cracking normal eggs and separating them and you gained a lot of time over the span of a week by utilizing a liquid egg white such as Lana's Egg Whites. Utilizing these types of products are quick, easy, safe, and effective-and as long as you don't have any allergies to eggs, anyone can use liquid egg whites no matter age, gender, or fitness goal.


Preparing Your Egg Whites


If you prefer to go to the grocery store and buy a few dozen eggs that works as well. When buying them from the grocery store, make sure to get them home as soon as possible and put them directly in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook them. When you are ready to prepare them, simply take out the number of eggs you desire and either use a separator to get rid of the yolk or simply use the shell to move the contents back and forth after splitting the shell in half to separate the yolks from the whites.


Happy egg time.
