Protein Quality in Eggs The protein in eggs has a biological quality greater than any other natural food. In fact many manufacturers of protein powders often base their products on egg protein such as albumin because of its protein quality. Egg protein contains all the essential amino acids in the exact proportions required by the body for optimum growth and maintenance of lean, metabolically active tissue. Why Egg Proteins Can Aid in Weight loss/Fat Burning Maintaining an adequate level of lean weight is crucial for weight loss because a decrease would lower the metabolism and reduce the number of calories needed eventually rendering any low calorie diet ineffective. Quality of proteins can be an important factor in weight loss because protein of poor quality forces the body to either use it as fuel or convert it to fat for storage. Many processed foods contain protein levels of poor quality plus they often contain high calories which increases the chance protein will be stored as fat! The quality of the protein in eggs means that all egg protein can be used for synthesis and limits the amount burned as fuel or stored as fat. Many plant foods can be combined to form high quality protein sources similar to the protein in eggs! Good nutrition means supplying our body with nutrients for which they are needed for example, proteins need to be used to recover, grow and maintain tissues, also for the synthesis of antibodies. Carbohydrates are the preferred energy source and fat is a secondary source of energy. Importance of Protein in Muscle Building and Retention Egg protein has the perfect mix of essential amino acids needed by humans to build and naturally maintain your muscles. Many athletes and body builders use egg whites in shakes to gain muscle mass. This is because egg protein is nature's most perfect form of body soluble protein. In fact, when other types of protein are measured for quality in a lab, they are compared to egg white protein, which as a protein efficiency ration of 3.9 (as compared to whey protein with a PER of 3.2). Protein and Immune Function Protein also helps maintain a strong immune function. Low protein diets impair immunity to infectious diseases. This is because ALL antibodies are made of protein.
