egg whites

[[xeno]Julios]

So in my quest to eliminate processed foods from my diet, I'm strongly considering replacing my whey protein powder with egg whites.

Cost wise, it's actually cheaper per gram of protein to go with egg whites - i just calculated this recently.

Now are the proteins in egg white fast or slow or medium or what?

Egg whites are slow.

thanks Lance. Do you know of any natural sources of faster proteins?

Also, are egg whites as slow as casein?

Natural sources not really. I was going to say Soy Protein Isolate, but then again, that's not natural. Just as whey is a part of milk, but it's not natural.

Don't worry too much about getting fast proteins for certain times and so on. I've done just fine on 3 + meals of solid food a day, like the Ironagers did. =)
