Any plans to offer egg white protein?

Hi,

We really don't see egg as necessary, because whey is better (Invalid Link Removed ; 2nd table) and less expensive.

Wow I'm confused.

So does protein-rich whole food do anything whey and casein together don't already do [besides fill you up]?

And why do products like ON's Pro Complex include egg albumen in their blends?

Food is obviously necessary. However, some make the mistake of using food as a protein source, as opposed to using a protein supplement.

Egg is a great product. Egg still sells, because it's in the public's conciousness. A supplement manufacturer is not going to spend money to try to convert people to a less expensive product, whey or casein. It's easier and cheaper for them to sell egg. Also, egg is more profitable.

Sorry, huh?

Hmmm... okay here's my situation: I usually eat every three hours, but I'm not always hungry when I do. So a lot of the time I will make a shake with equal amounts (protein wise) of whey, casein, and whole food--either tuna or egg albumen. Yeah, it tastes like ****, but I thought that whole food was necessary because it had a better amino acid profile than whey and casein.

Looking at your chart though, and assuming/guessing PDCAAS is the same thing as an AA profile, it looks like I've been wasting my time/money by adding tuna/egg albumen to my shakes.

By the way, I do consume whole food protein sources, the shake I'm talking about is just for when it's time to eat and I'm not hungry.

So can I dump the added tuna/egg albumen from my shake recipe and just increase the amount of whey and casein?

Egg protein has become much more expensive than even whey isolate from everything I've read due to shortages in the egg market. Beverly International even stopped selling their 100% Egg Protein product for this reason.

Secondly, are you advising people that it's better to meet your protein requirements from supplements as opposed to real food? That sounds like horrible advice to me.

I'm not following. I thought this thread was needing protein above and beyond food.
