Whey Protein verses Egg Protein....Which one is better? Presently I use an egg powder protein but now I am starting to lift weights and am wondering if I should switch over to a whey base instead. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!!

    Both egg and whey proteins are good choices and I wouldn't say one is necessarily better than the other. Whey protein is a faster digesting protein than egg protein, so is a good choice to have just after a workout. You could always mix the two so you get the benefits of faster and slower digesting proteins.

    Obviously getting your protein from foods is a better choice but not always practical especially if you are trying to up your daily protein intake.

    A lot of brands now sell protein blends which contain whey, egg and casein proteins. Saves having lots of different tubs open :)

    Depends on your goals.
    Whey is great for post workout or breakfast.
    Egg Protein can be used for meal substitutes or just added protein.
    I find Whey much more satisfying
