This Article is about why Eggs are so important to a Bodybuilders diet!
Without Protein your bodys will not grow! Fact!! when we excercise we cause Micro tears in the muscle which is felt as soreness for the days after known as DOMS. The protein from our diets then repair the small tears in the muscle causing the muscle to come back Bigger and Stronger!
For this to happen we need quality Protein in our diets!
Biological Value is a measure of the proportion of absorbed protein from our food which becomes incorporated in to the body! Eggs have the highest Biological value with a BV of 100 all other proteins have their BV based on the measure from eggs: Cows milk has a BV of 91 and beef has a BV of 80!
Each egg has around 6 grams of high quality protein they contain all 8 essential amino acids (building blocks for protein) which are the amino acids that need to be obtained through diet as the body cannot make these!
Fat content for eggs: egg whites contain no fat whatsoever!! The yolk contains around 5 grams of fat but only about 1.6 grams of this is saturated fat(bad fat)
Eggs in the diet:
6 Egg whites and 2 yolks: 26.5 grams of protein, zero carbs, 5.23 grams of fat 2.7 of that is unsaturated (good fats) 153 calories!
Add a bowl of oats, a bananna and 2 tablespoons of Flaxseed oil to get: 39 grams of protein, 78 grams of carbs, 48 grams of fat only 4 grams of this is saturated fat (bad fat), 900 calories!
