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.
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Furthermore if you are an athlete the humble egg has long been superseded by whey protein as the protein of choice.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.
