Tag: Eggs for muscle growth

According to a study in the *American Journal of Clinical Nutrition*, consuming whole eggs promotes greater muscle protein synthesis than eating egg whites alone. This challenges the long-held belief that bodybuilders should only consume egg whites to avoid dietary cholesterol. The number of eggs a bodybuilder eats daily can vary significantly based on their specific goals, dietary needs, and overall nutrition plan.

A study from the University of Illinois revealed that young men who consumed whole eggs after a workout experienced 40% greater muscle protein synthesis compared to those who only ate egg whites. This highlights why eggs have long been a bodybuilding staple, but the quantity and type consumed can vary widely depending on goals and dietary needs.
