Eggology Egg Whites and Other Eggcellent Sources of Protein

When you are building muscle, it's important to ensure that you eat plenty of protein. Without protein your muscles just can't grow-it's that plain and simple! Typically you should consume 1 to 1.5 times your body weight in grams of protein. The rule of thumb is that you need between 1 and 1.5 times your body weight (if you are overweight, then substitute your target body weight) in grams of protein. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you should be eating between 150 and 225 grams of protein per day if you want to consistently gain muscle. Full time bodybuilders can eat sometimes two to three times their body weight in grams of protein, and sometimes more, but for most of us that would be overkill.

Of course we love using Eggology Egg Whites as our primary source of protein. But even we have to admit that it is necessary to vary your sources of protein so that you maintain a well balanced diet. So, what do we recommend, outside of the normal chicken and tuna realm?

  1. Raw Nuts - These provide a great source of protein PLUS they are a great source of healthy fats, minerals and antioxidants. I make huge batches of trail mix-just be sure that you use two-thirds cup of nuts to every one-third cup of dried fruit! Use them in stir-fries or eat them plain...any way you crack it-they are wonderful!
  2. Beans - Most beans contain 20% protein and high in carbohydrates which provides long lasting energy. Pair beans with rice to make a great, protein packed meal! (On a side note, check out this awesome blog post on nutritiondata.com to find out why you may not be getting a complete protein by combining these two products!)
  3. Milk - It does a body good! There has been talk that soy milk is a better source of protein, but check out this study to see what researchers at McMaster University are saying-their studies "clearly show that milk proteins are a superior source of protein in producing muscle mass gains in response to weightlifting."
  4. Quinoa - It is called a "supergrain" because of the wonderful nutrition it offers. It contains more iron than other grains, has high levels of potassium, riboflavin, magnesium, zinc, copper, and folacin. It is a great source of protein. Unlike other grains it contains plenty of the amino acid lysine, as well as the other essential amino acids, so it provides complete protein.
  5. Oats - Whole grains provide muscle-friendly protein, along with fiber and other nutrients. For an amazing and healthy and protein packed breakfast, check out this Banana Oat Protein Breakfast Pancakes recipe!
Happy Eating and send us your suggestions for variety in protein sources and recipes that you find help build muscle!

Eggology Egg Whites Make the Perfect Homemade Hair Treatment Product

Who would've thought that egg whites can be used as an organic hair treatment product? Cosmetic companies have known about the healing power of raw egg whites for some time--many stores carry egg white shampoos and conditioners that turn dull lifeless hair into beautiful shiny manes.

According to Stophairloss.com, "egg whites are naturally rich in vitamin A, D, E and several vitamins of B-group. All of them are good for hair: vitamins A, D and E are especially useful to treat hair loss, besides, vitamin A increases sebum production which oils dry hair and prevents dandruff and thick scalp, Vitamin D provides hair growth, and vitamin E increases oxygen absorption. B-vitamins are mostly responsible for hemoglobin. They increase the amount of oxygen and improve blood circulation."

You can make your own egg white hair treatment products at home by mixing 1 Eggology egg white with 1 teaspoon of honey and 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Work mixture through damp clean hair. Leave the treatment in your hair for 30 minutes (sit out in the sun if desired to intensify effect) then rinse out well. This conditioner will tame split ends and give luster to your locks.

Enjoy an afternoon off this summer and rejuvenate your hair by giving it maximum control and shine!

Great Pre-Workout Snacks - Eggology Egg Whites!

As I was heading into the gym this morning, I started chatting with a friend about what is best to eat before a workout. My friend, who is new to the gym scene asked me why body builders add extra protein to their diet and marathon runners add more carbs. This was a great question! I thought I would share my answer here, so we can all benefit from the question!

When you are training for a marathon, it is normal to load up on carbs, because you want the fuel to help get you through the race or a difficult long, training day. MarathonPal.com gives a great breakdown of WHY you need carbs and you can check it out in full, but the short version is this: "The goal of carbohydrate loading is to super load muscles with glycogen to delay fatigue and enable your to maintain high intensity exercise for longer. When competing for over 90 minutes normal glycogen stores will not be enough to maintain exercise. Carbohydrate loading is a method of increasing stored glycogen by 200-300%, thereby allowing the athlete to delay fatigue and maintain high intensity exercise for longer. Carbohydrate loading is of no benefit for sports of short duration, and is undesirable in sports with strict weight criteria."

The last line answers my friends question! Most bodybuilders are not doing high intensity exercise. Ideally, the amino acids from a pre-workout meal that's high in protein will be hitting the muscle cells at the conclusion of your workout, thus providing ample resources for muscle growth and repair. You'll also feel stronger in the gym, since protein and fat remain in your stomach longer. That being said, you can't totally skip the carbs either! Protein and unsaturated fat may be "king" when it comes to building muscle, but complex carbs have an important supporting role. By eating my breakfast of Eggology On-the-Go (which provides 4 scrambled egg whites in 95 seconds) and combining that with one slice of whole wheat toast, 45 to 90 minutes before hitting the gym, I'm ready for a great workout. And if you don't believe that this works, check out Ronnie Coleman - who uses Eggology Egg Whites as part of his daily diet routine! I think a picture is worth a thousand words!

Hugh Jackman Reveals How Eating Egg Whites Got Him in Shape for "X-Men Origins"

Looking ripped requires more than just lifting weights. In the latest X-Men movie, Hugh Jackman showed off his muscular build and shared some of the body building tricks that transformed him into "Wolverine."

Forty-year-old Hugh Jackman revealed that his exercise routine in preparation for the movie involved a lot of bodybuilding and strategic dieting.

"What I realized is that how you look is 30 percent how you train and 70 percent how you eat", said Jackman, "it means waking up at 4 a.m. and eating egg whites, and then every three hours after that eating chicken or salmon, boringly steamed with vegetables and brown rice. Then no more carbohydrates after lunch and 4,000 calories in total,” he added.

Bodybuilding with Eggology egg whites is one of the most effective and healthy ways to get the most out of your workout. For busy people such as Hugh Jackman, Eggology's delicious to-go egg products will fulfill your muscular needs without hassel or mess.

Eggology Egg Whites Are Part of Body Builder Ronnie Coleman’s Training Routine

Eggology egg whites are a lean, natural source of protein that Ronnie Coleman, eight time winner of “Mr. Olympia”, incorporates daily as part of his training routine.
---------------
Body builders know that building muscle is not just a matter of pumping iron at the gym. Nutrition also plays a crucial role in developing a winning physique. Eggology egg whites – the leader in the all-natural liquid egg white industry – have become an essential part of body builder Ronnie Coleman’s routine because they are a convenient, lean source of protein.

Ronnie Coleman, eight time winner of Mr. Olympia, was recently featured in an interview in BodyBuilding.com speaking about his past 31 years of training and working his body to near physical perfection driven by his dream of achieving. Speaking candidly about his intense training, overcoming hurdles such as a severe back injury and how cleaning up his diet all contributed to enabling him to win the Olympia title.

Mr. Coleman cut out junk food, increased his proteins and lowered carbohydrates during his pre-contest phase. Eggology egg whites became part of his nutrition routine – he and his wife, a personal trainer, enjoy them every day as one of their lean, pure sources of protein.

Brad Halpern, founder of Eggology, agrees with Mr. Coleman’s nutrition choices wholeheartedly. “Eggology was originally founded by an athlete, for athletes. We knew the incredible value of egg whites as the only pure protein food available. In addition to that, we make sure, through USDA inspection, that Eggology liquid egg whites are safe to enjoy raw as many body builders like to drink them straight or add them to shakes.” As demonstrated by Mr. Coleman, a hard workout regimen is only part of the climb to physical perfection – the other part is what is in your nutrition regimen – and being smart about both of those is when you will hit your peak.

Eggology Egg Whites Are The Perfect Ingredient in a Successful Weight Loss Plan

Eggology egg whites are one of the healthiest, tastiest, and most convenient foods for on-the-go people looking to stay healthy, feel good and lose some weight.

-----------------
Liquid egg whites made by Eggology - the leader in the all-natural egg white industry – is an essential element to a successful weight loss plan. With bikini season here, beachgoers are starting to consider their options for healthy weight loss plans. One of the best ways to lose excess fat is to cut down calorie-intake each day by eating leaner and less processed foods. Eggology’s organic and fresh egg whites have been popular among celebrities and bodybuilders for years, and it’s no secret that average consumers can start losing weight and getting toned by incorporating Eggology egg whites into their everyday diet.

What makes Eggology egg whites an essential component to a successful weight loss regime? Brad Halpern, founder of Eggology, informs us that “the high protein content in the liquid egg whites help sustain the feeling of ‘fullness’ for longer, while the low-calorie count in the egg whites insure the healthiness of each serving, and the freshness of the egg whites will make the body feel more energetic”. Mr. Halpern suggests substituting in egg whites as a snack or part of a meal instead of eating something that may be high in carbohydrates and/or fat. He adds that “Eggology egg whites are safe to enjoy raw – in a shake or alone – because our egg whites must meet a strict USDA inspection process”.

Eggology makes it even easier to have fresh scrambled egg whites any time of day with their line of On-The-Go liquid egg whites that come in a microwave safe cup – in about 95 seconds you can enjoy fluffy, hot egg whites – a convenient way to have a high protein meal or snack.

Eggology Makes Kookie Krazy Cookies Safe to Eat RAW!

Ever since I was a kid, my favorite part of making cookies was eating the dough! I never really thought of eating uncooked cookie dough as being a big risk, but of course, concerns were brought to light due to salmonella found in raw eggs. Of course those that are familiar with Eggology know that we offer the ultimate in food safety to ensure that our eggs are safe to eat RAW! As a safeguard for consumers who use EGGOLOGY egg whites in raw form, we repeatedly test for salmonella, listeria, ecoli, TPC, along with a wide array of other harmful bacteria. While the USDA minimum requirement for testing is 1 in every 8 production days, EGGOLOGY egg whites and our other egg products are tested repeatedly everyday to insure absolute safety.

When Mark Bernhardt and James Kelley came up with a fun idea for a new business, of course they came to Eggology to provide them with the perfect egg white-offering a safe and delicious way for people to enjoy cookie dough!

Kookie Krazy Inc. in Thousand Oaks, California is THE store to visit to treat your sweet cravings. Their motto is "You Make 'Em, We Bake 'Em!" They created a magical place where customers make their own over sized cookies. You pick one of seven flavors of cookie dough, choose three of their 40 additions from their add in's selection, mix it all together and let Mark and James do the cooking for you. As if that wasn't enough, they have a toppings bar to make their delicious cookies even better-you can add chocolate syrup, ice cream or even gummy bears on top of your cookie! Think ""Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory"-where kids and adults alike can have a blast making their dream dessert!

Of course, my favorite item is their raw dough, which they sell by the cup-safe to eat raw, thanks to Eggology! Next time you are in Thousand Oaks, be sure to swing by and enjoy some cookies and some dough!

Can't make it to their store! Make your own cookie dough at home using Eggology Egg Whites, and eat the dough until your hearts content! Oh, and one final tip for chocolate chip cookie dough, scoop some dough into a coffee mug...heat the dough up ever so slightly in the microwave-just until the chocolate chips melt a little, and then enjoy-it's sooo delicious!

Strong to the Finish!

We first came across our Diva on a Diet late last year. She is different than most, in that she actually lets you go through her weight loss journey with you - actual weight, successes and failures, all for the blogosphere to see! Her site is full of inspiration and information that is definitely worth checking out!

Taking a Weight Watchers approach to one of her favorite restaurants specialties, she came up with the following healthy and delicious recipe!

Popeye's Omelet
1 Serving

WHAT YOU NEED:
1 slice Niman Ranch All Natural Applewood Smoked Uncured Center Cut Bacon (Nitrate Free)
1/8 - 1/4 cup fresh sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup Market Pantry Flake Style Crab Flavored Seafood with Omega-3
PAM Butter Flavor Cooking Spray
1/2 cup Eggology Organic 100% Egg Whites
1/4 teaspoon Morton Lite Salt Mixture
1/8 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1/8 - 1/4 cup fresh baby spinach
1 Individual 1 oz cup Weight Watchers Reduced Fat Cream Cheese Spread

INSTRUCTIONS:
Cook bacon over medium heat in an 8″ skillet until crisp. Set aside, and reserve 1 tsp bacon fat in the pan.

Add mushrooms to pan. I didn’t really measure them, I just put them in a layer in the pan until no more could fit, which is estimate is about 1/8 to 1/4 cup. Same thing with the spinach. I just grabbed a bunch that I estimated was the same amount. Since they are both healthy and 0 points, I am not as exact with these. While the mushrooms are sauteing, pull stems from the spinach, but the leaves in a pile and roll it up, and then slice, so you get pretty little ribbons of spinach.

Measure out the imitation crab meat. I use my Weight Watchers scale. If you don’t have one, just measure about 1/2 cup. (but you really should get a kitchen scale. They are very useful when measuring caloric-dense food!) Chop up the crab meat into smaller pieces. Crumble up the bacon slice.

Turn over mushrooms, and add crab meat. Leave it in long enough to make sure mushrooms are nice and sauteed, and the crab meat is warm. Set aside. (I put it in a little bowl, and cover with foil to keep warm.)

Spray pan with cooking spray. Add egg whites, and sprinkle with salt and pepper, and then the spinach. When the eggs have set enough to stay together, flip over entire egg. Spread the cream cheese on one side of the egg omelet. (I put the little cup in the microwave for no more than 10 seconds to get it really soft and easy to spread.) Then add the mushroom and crab meat mixture and then the crumbled bacon. Close up the omelet. Because there is not a lot of sticky cheese, it doesn’t stay together that well, so I just let it sit there until I figure it is heated thoroughly and then put it on the plate. I had a couple extra bacon crumbles and strips of spinach that I put on the top.

Try this one out and let us know if you think it is as DELISH as we do! Thanks AtlantaDiva!

"Biggest Loser" Daniel Wright Eats Eggology!

The TV show Biggest Loser's biggest contestant ever - weighing in at 454 pounds and just 19 years old - eats Eggology egg whites!! We have seen bottles of Eggology here and there on the show and recently when Daniel was let go from the show, we saw him featured on Access Hollywood, talking about his diet and his intention to keep at it!

In the clip below, he loads up on fruits and veggies at his local grocery store, and before he does that, he places a jar of Eggology egg whites into his cart. Why egg whites? He mentions that he is sticking to eating 1,500 calories per day. For those of you who count calories, you know that this isn't a lot at all! A 1/2 cup of liquid egg whites - which scrambles up to a nice portion - is only 60 calories. With no cholesterol or fat to count, he can enjoy Eggology egg whites at every meal knowing he is getting lean, natural protein with a very small calorie count.

Daniel is a big inspiration to all of us and we wish him the best!
