Are eggs good for you? in terms of protein and that?

as I understand it the egg white is good for you and the yellow stuff is full of cholestrol.

I currently a egg mayo bagutte at work just wondering if its doing me any good.

everything in moderation!

approx 60-70calories, fat is approx 1.5g, protein is approx 5-6g. there is a few vitmins in there also! A & D, B12, C, E, Iron too!

eggs are good for you but as above in moderation!!

if you can handle it!!

alot of ppl dont eat nuts & seeds pulses etc etc these are good forms of protein & neutients too remember!

got to love sunflower seeds!!

Nuts are good, but get ruined when the are salty, which also makes them less good for you. Not a problem in moderation tho.

Low levels of saturated fats, High levels of mono-unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, No cholesterol!!! fibre.
Plant protein, which makes them an alternative to boring meat all the time!! nuts are also high in the amino acid arginine, Vit E, B6, niacin & folic acid.
Minerals too magnesium, zinc, iron, calcium, copper, selenium and potassium

thats me with my txt book out! LOL

I'm just after a good source of protein that i eat everyday (chicken is too expensive) and does take a lot of time to prepare.

Tuna has loads of protien....and other stuff i'm sure.

platty · 21st June 2006, 22:06

eggs, chicken, tuna, beef etc has loads of protein but you gota love the shakes!

WestyVTR · 22nd June 2006, 06:54

you only need a palm full of protein a day! if training hard & pushing weights that exceed approx 75% of you max then a lil more will help. These "shakes" you talk of arnt all that, alot of the nuitrients can be found in natural foods... if you think back to caveman times where were these "shakes".. nope they didnt exist (if you didnt know already) there is no real need for them TBH is all marketing & brain washing... but if your happy taking them thats ok as they contain a good amount of nutrients.

from the top of my head at 6.52am i think its only 30% of your tablets/suppliments that your body absorbs the rest is digested & discarded... the same will happen with excess protein it will put your body under added strain as it needs to be digested & discarded....

did you know that muscle is made of amino acids!! so is complex carbohydrates!! you do the maths... all this protein talk is fine but its not the protein that builds muscle its the amino acids that it is and other things are made of made up of....

some of the best body builders are vegens!! how do they build muscle if you need meats for protein all the time...!????
