Anabolic Effect of Eggs

Summarize any video like this — free →
  • Eggs have the greatest anabolic effect, meaning they turn into muscle protein or other proteins that build more protein in the body.
  • 48% of an egg turns into body tissue, which is higher than meat (32%), fish (17%), egg white (17%), soy (6%), dairy whey (16%) and spirulina (6%).

Nutrient Content of Eggs

  • Eggs are high in nutrients and contain almost every single vitamin and mineral except for vitamin C. They are loaded with B vitamins, choline, healthy fats such as DHA and EPA, carotenoids which prevent macular degeneration.
  • Choline in eggs helps prevent a fatty liver and supports the nervous system.

Cholesterol Concerns

  • Eating eggs does not increase bad cholesterol LDL but increases good cholesterol HDL. There is no data to support that eating eggs will increase bad cholesterol levels.

Overall, consuming four eggs per day provides an efficient way to build body tissue due to their high anabolic effect. Additionally, they are nutrient-dense and do not increase bad cholesterol levels.

Here’s exactly why I consume 4 to 5 eggs a day.    Timestamps 0:29 When I eat my first meal  0:43 Why I consume 4 to 5 eggs a day  3:05 Eggs and cholesterol  In this video, I’m going to share with you why I eat four eggs every day. I consume at least four, if not five, eggs during my first meal between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm.  There are three main reasons why I have this many eggs every day: 1. Eggs have the highest anabolic effect. What this means is that it turns into muscle protein or other useful protein and body tissue.  2. Eggs are very high in nutrients. They have practically every vitamin and mineral except vitamin C.  3. Eggs are loaded with healthy fats. They contain omega-3 fatty acids, including DHA and EPA.  Are eggs bad for cholesterol? If you’re afraid of eggs increasing your cholesterol, keep in mind that there’s no evidence to support the idea that eggs raise your bad cholesterol. They can raise your good cholesterol, which isn’t bad for your heart. I recommend that you always go with pasture-raised organic eggs.  Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 58, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
