Egg White Protein Vs. Whey Protein: Which One Wins? エッグプロテインvsホエイプロテイン！

With new products coming out, it's hard to decide which proteins work best for us and our bodies. Luckily, at Bodi Cafe we have a variety of products that can help anyone in their fitness journey. Two common proteins that have been frequently requested lately are egg white based protein and whey protein.

Egg white protein is the clear liquid in a chicken egg that surrounds the yolk – a small but mighty package of nutrition.  Egg white protein powder is made from dried egg whites. Egg white protein is top-quality protein that is low in calories. Given its value as a high quality natural protein, egg whites and egg white protein powder have been a favored food supplement for many years, even more so than whey protein.

In addition, while whole eggs are full of dietary cholesterol, (along with two grams of saturated fat) all the cholesterol and fat is found in the yolk. Egg whites are both cholesterol-free and fat free. Egg white and egg white protein is a useful supplemental protein for individuals who are aiming to increase their protein consumption without increase their consumption of fat, saturated fat and cholesterol.

Whey protein is the protein contained in the watery portion of milk that separates from the curds when making cheese. Commonly it is used for improving athletic performance, as a food supplement, as an alternative to milk for people with lactose intolerance, for replacing or supplementing milk-based infant formulas, and for reversing weight loss and increasing glutathione (GSH) in people with HIV disease. Whey protein has been connected to many health benefits as it is also used for protein allergy, asthma, high cholesterol, obesity and weight loss, preventing allergies in infants, late-stage cancer, and colon cancer.

Both proteins have their benefits. If you're looking to decrease your consumption of fats, egg white proteins are a high quality ingredient that can aid in weight loss while whey protein overall can help with overall muscle growth!
