Egg White Nutrition

By Sienna Nalin


Eggs have many benefits to them. If you are a weight lifter, or just looking to build muscle, eating egg whites will get you to building muscle. The reason egg whites can do this is because they are filled with protein. Protein builds muscle, restores and heals muscles.

To build muscle and also have energy, you must eat eggs. The protein in eggs helps to do all of these things. Not only does egg help to build muscle, it also helps with many other things such as skin, internal organs and ligaments. Yes, protein is found in other foods such as meat, but the protein in eggs is much more potent. This protein as mentioned gives the human body energy.

Since protein in the body is decomposed into its constituent parts - amino acids - which are then used to construct our own proteins, it is crucial to the amino acid composition of the protein. Usually we divided all the amino acids in two groups - the essential and nonessential. Essential amino acids are those that our body cannot manufacture itself and must get from food. These include: tryptophan, lysine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, threonine, methionine and phenylalanine. Two more - cysteine and tyrosine - may be synthesized by the body in case of large need, for which they are called semi-essential. Other amino acids are alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, glutamine, glutamic acid, glycine, proline, and serine - interchangeable.

Particularly important for the body are leucine, isoleucine and valine. They are like the foundation around which the whole metabolism of proteins. Accordingly, proteins that lack the essential amino acids are called inferior, whereas those in which the amino acids enough - full. Bad news for supporters of the "strict" vegetarianism, excluding from their diet milk and eggs: all vegetable proteins, soy and even mushrooms are incomplete. Conversely, proteins of milk, meat and eggs are complete. Meat is rich in glutamine, eggs - methionine. The most balanced composition of whey protein (lactalbumin) and protein in the egg yolk. Egg protein (albumin) is also a very valuable component of food. An additional advantage of pure egg whites for some types of diet is that there are almost no fat in it.
