Whenever you talk about increasing muscle mass, a food comes out: the egg. The truth is that it is one of the most beneficial to achieve this goal, although sometimes it has been able to raise some doubts in relation to whether it is convenient to eat it whole, that is, yolk and clear, or if it is only the clear one that has these properties.

Despite the different investigations and tests that have been carried out, everything seems to indicate that it is the egg white that most helps to increase muscle mass. However, it is important to take it properly and know that not everyone can consume it because, in some cases, you will not be able to have more muscle. Here we explain how to take egg white to increase muscle mass.

Why egg white is good for increasing muscle mass

Egg white is rich in amino acids such as leucine, which is responsible for activating the synthesis of ingested proteins, thus contributing to muscle gain.

Thanks to this particularity, the egg white also allows 100% of the proteins to be absorbed by the body when a release of these amino acids in the blood takes place quickly. In addition, they act on insulin, producing spikes that favor reaching the inside of the muscle cell.

Egg whites for muscle – precautions

The egg is a food that is very rich for the body. In addition, the latest research has shown that it does not increase bad cholesterol, provided that it is not always eaten fried and wrapped in oil or accompanied by fats. In this way, it is possible to take an egg every day.

However, despite the large amount of protein it contains, it is convenient to know that not everyone can take it to increase muscle mass because good results will not be achieved.

Who can’t take egg white to gain muscle

This is the case of people who are overweight or overweight. Many of them take advantage of its greater volume to convert it into muscle mass. And it is a mistake because it is not possible to increase muscle, since the hormones are not balanced and in order when you have an excess of fats.

In this way, the effect of eating the egg whites will be very limited or non-existent. What should be done is to be at the ideal weight and, from there, start muscular with exercise and the help of food.

How many eggs to eat a day to gain muscle mass

To gain muscle mass, it is important to take a daily amount of protein. In general, it is estimated that 2 grams should be ingested daily for every kilo that is weighed.

To calculate how many egg whites you have to eat, you can establish the relationship that 4 egg whites are about 15 grams of protein. Anyway, it is important that there is variation in the proteins you take and not limit them only to the egg because the body also needs energy.

It is also important that you distribute them throughout the day. In fact, many experts recommend eating every 3 hours to facilitate greater absorption of the protein by the body.

How to prepare egg whites to increase muscle mass

One of the most traditional, fast and simple ways to take egg whites is to make an omelet with them. The process is super easy.
