With so many protein choices, it can be very confusing. You may have looked at whey, casein, or even vegetarian protein supplements, like pea, soy, or hemp. One that is often overlooked is egg-white protein powder. At LynFit, we specialize in weight loss, so that’s what you’ll find here—proteins that accelerate your weight loss. We don’t carry proteins that slow it the way pea, soy, or vegan sources can.
Adding egg white protein powder to your diet has many benefits and is superior to dairy or plant-based proteins when it comes to weight loss. Whey and casein are both dairy, meaning they're not suitable for those with a dairy allergy. Egg-based protein powders are lactose-free, meaning they're a good replacement for dairy proteins. With around 25 grams of protein in a 30-gram serving, the protein content is very similar to that of whey and casein.
The proteins in egg whites digest at a moderate speed. Whey is a fast-digesting protein, while casein is considered slow-digesting. Because egg-white protein powder falls somewhere in the middle, it keeps muscle protein synthesis going for longer than if you consumed just whey on its own. Many people add one scoop of egg white to one scoop of whey to balance out these speeds.
LynFit Egg White Protein contains all 10 of the amino acids our bodies need to prevent metabolic shutdown. The most important factors when picking a protein supplement is the amino acid content. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Your body can make 10 amino acids, but there are also 10 essential amino acids that must be obtained from food. Any food that contains all 10 of these is known as a complete protein. Egg white powder is a complete protein, whereas plant-based protein powders like rice, soy and pea are incomplete.
While eating whole eggs may be a good way to bump up your protein intake, eggs also come with added fat and calories, which may not be in line with your goals. One large egg contains around five grams of fat and six grams of protein. You'd need four whole eggs to get the same amount of protein as you do in a serving of egg-white powder, which would mean an extra 20 grams of fat. This is not good for weight loss or your health, and that’s why using egg white protein powder is a better option.
Egg whites contain everything you need to build an entire working animal from scratch—all the vitamins, minerals, protein, and fatty acids that make us healthy. Think of egg whites as “supercharged-protein” with extra choline, vitamin E, vitamin A, vitamin K2, omega-3 fats, vitamin D, and beta-carotene from all the greens and healthy things the chickens ate.
WHAT'S IN IT?
That's simple... all-natural whole food powdered egg white that comes from Non-GMO eggs sourced exclusively from U.S. farms. That means there are virtually no carbs, no fat, and no cholesterol. The carbs, fats, and cholesterol you save help boost your metabolism and jump-start your weight loss. It is simply the most complete form of protein, standing head and shoulders above the rest.
The average person requires one (1) gram of protein per pound of lean body weight per day. Example: If you weigh 150 pounds, but you have 25 pounds of fat to lose (thin goal weight), your lean body weight would be 125 pounds. That means you require 125 grams of protein per day. If you're trying to lose weight, the leaner, the better.
When it comes to weight loss and boosting metabolism, it's better to spread this protein throughout the day, so your body uses it vs. storing it. For example, if you eat five meals per day, you would aim to have 25 grams of protein at each meal to nail your 125 grams per day of protein.
Drink it in a smoothie. No matter what you mix it with you won't taste the egg whites. They have a deliciously smooth texture that is very different from whey so you may have to experiment with your usual recipes to master egg whites.
Bake with it. You can also cook and bake with the egg white protein. In fact, for any recipe that calls for egg whites, you can use the egg white powder by reconstituting it. Cooking and baking burn off part of the protein, but as long as you're not consuming the egg whites cooked for every meal, you shouldn’t have to worry about it.
Reconstituting your egg white protein powder makes it just like the liquid egg whites we all cook and bake with. You could even make an omelet with it if you'd like. Reconstituting egg whites is as simple as adding some warm water to you your egg white powder. Most of the time 2-3 tablespoons per scoop of powder is all it takes.
