Question about eggs someone answer this?

Enkidu Posts: 63 Joined: 2002/06/28	2002/09/06, 07:40 PM I am in discussing with someone who says eating eggs each day is the worst thing you can do. But I allways cook my eggs and I remove all the yellow stuff inside. So all I eat of an egg is the white stuff. Is it bad if I eat 3 eggs this way each day??? I cannot find any good sites that explain this, so I am hoping someone here knows about this. Thnx in advance, Enkidu

Three a day should be no problem remember though leave the yokes out I dont eat eggs every day but when I do I eat 8 to 10 whites only.

You definitely need to cook the whites but it has actually been proven that eating the yolks raw gives you a better absorbtion. Hmmmmm I still don't want to do it thou!!

They also have the perfect amino acid profile. They will help turn any other protein source into a much better one...

I'm preparing for my competition in Nov so right now my protein intake is around 200 gr daily!! (lots of egg whites there!! lol) Tiffany, take a look under abcbodybuilding.com, go to the work out journals and you'll find me writing down everything about my diet, training etc -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
