Actually 2 eggs, 2 slices of toast and a glass of milk would provide 28 grams of protein and is sufficient for virtually all people.Quote:

Ok firstly...why only 2 eggs? That only equates to roughly 8 grams of protein, an average person reguardless of bulkin, maintain or cutting, needs the same ammount of protein per meal, which is roughly 35-45 grams. I have 6 egg whites and 1-2 yolks(multivitamins) with any meal. Ok another thing in relation to that, you just said only have 2 eggs... you also need carbohydrates which are the most important thing in the morning, your body is catabolic because glycogen levels are are low, so you need need a slow releasing energy, i.e complex carbs (oats, bread, grain, potatoes, all that starchy crap in other words).
Hope this has been helpful.
You said yourself an avocado a day would be ok so why lecture someone on the risks of overeating them when they say every other day?
It would be around 20 grams, as only 1cup =250ml of milk= 8grams of protein, and each egg is around 3-4grams of protein(includin the yulk), and 2 slices of bread reguardless of if its processed white bread or wholemeal, its around 5 and bit grams of protein. so that adds up to 20grams of protein, Which is half the recommendation of protein.Quote:

To your avocado comment:
Na im not saying its bad to eat on other days or during the week, or anything like that. Im just saying do not exceed them within a day, because you can over do your daily caloric intake, so in other words keep your good fats to around 20-30grams per day tops (including fish, peanut butter, nuts, avocado etc). So dont try to eat more than 1-1.5 avocados a day, unless you know perfectly you are not goin to have any other good fats, which is pretty hard to assume hahaha.
Eggs are ok, but there are better sources of protein in my opinion.
Ye definately, but i just like to have a variety of protein sources so i dont get sick of meat/fish.Quote:

Fish is a treat for me, I only eat the good fresh fish, so I eat it more rarely than I would like.

A large egg has around 6.5 grams of proteinQuote:

Skimmed milk is ok, but the nutritional nature of milk is greatly decreased
That is debatable, what you define as a large egg, also that source doesnt seem to good, i use flex magazine, muscle mag, iron man, bodybuilding.com, but if its a large egg then ye why not, but im sayin regular eggs not dinosaur or emu eggs ahahahahQuote:

Egg Protein Content - How Much Protein is in an Egg - Egg White and Yolk Proteins
outlaw, you remind of Dr hibbert, you laugh after every single comment.
Anyway, I get my protein from a variety of foods, meat, Tuna, milk, eggs. I think a variety of sources is beneficial so you get the full variation of amino acids.
Any site will give you the same value of protein for an egg. And most people when they buy eggs, especially health conscious people will buy large free range eggs, maybe Omega 3 enriched. I've never bought eggs that wern't classed as large.Quote:

I'm only posting this cos you were splitting hairs to begin with.
There's no need to tell someone they are on crack for recommending 2 eggs on wholegrain toast every other day when that would be the recommendation of practically every nutritionist the world over.
Two eggs every other day as part of a moderate healthy balanced diet is fine. Eggs have a high cholestral value and some people don't like to eat too many on account of that. They also bind people up as well and too many can lead to constipation.
Furthermore if you are an athlete the humble egg has long been superseded by whey protein as the protein of choice. Wheras egg as a biological food value of 100, (the gold standard in natural foods) whey protein has a BFV of 150 or more.
Simply put for most athletes they would be far better off enjoying a moderate amount of eggs, like for example two per week and gaining extra protein in the form of whey protein during the day.
I myself when training will have a scoop of chocolate whey protein on porridge for example the morning after a weight's sesssion, and a protein shake mixed with milk every training day, usually an hour before training.
There's simply no need to induce too much protein. The dietry recommendations are about 0.8 grams of protein per lb of body weight for normal people, increasing to 1.2 grams per lb protein for athletes involved with heavy training. The percentage of the population who really require more than 1.2 grams of protein per bodyweight is really low, and would include extreme endurance athletes and competitive bodybuilders.
And such people would already know a great deal about diet anway and so certainly wouldn't need the general guidline advice that was the subject of the original post.
