Egg Consumption and Muscular Adaptations

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hypertrophy

In brief

Eggs may be a viable alternative to various types of supplemental proteins given its similar ratings on various measures of dietary protein quality. The investigators hypothesis is that whole eggs would create a greater improvement in skeletal regulatory markers, hormonal responses and body composition than egg white ingestion in resistance-trained men.
