5 Yummy Ways to Increase Your Egg Consumption and Get More Protein
Eggs are a great source of protein and far more versatile than you would realise. They provide a comprehensive source of protein with all the key amino acids a developing bodybuilder needs while being low in calories and inexpensive.
Here are our top 5 methods to include eggs into your day to get the most protein and see the most improvements!
Smoothies
If this sounds strange, please bear with us. Blend in a raw egg white after adding it to your smoothie. Egg whites may offer a significant protein boost to your smoothies while also creating the soft foam texture that is frequently blended into drinks.
Due to the abundance of tasty fruit, smoothies can frequently include excessive amounts of carbohydrates. Adding egg whites will help you balance the macros. An average egg white has only 16 calories and 4g of protein!
You probably won’t even realise that there are raw egg whites in your smoothie because they don’t offer any flavour.
But beware: to avoid salmonella, always use pasteurised raw eggs in your smoothies.
The simplest method to accomplish this is to purchase egg whites in a carton, but if you’re an expert at separating the egg from the whites, you may use ordinary eggs instead!
Oatmeal
Because it is full and delicious and you may vary the toppings, oatmeal is a popular breakfast option. Your oatmeal will become thicker, smoother, and nearly custard-like when you add an egg! For the smoothest texture, it is advised that you whisk your egg before adding it to the oat mixture.
Oatmeal should be prepared on the stove, and the egg should be added at the end when virtually all the liquid has been absorbed. To ensure that the egg is dispersed equally throughout the oats after adding it, toss the mixture vigorously.
Be aware that overnight oats will not work with this; only cooked oatmeal will.
Snacking
Boiling eggs are a simple on-the-go snack if you become hungry in the intervals between meals. You may batch cook and store boiled eggs if you’re a meal preparer because they can keep for up to 7 days in the refrigerator.
Eggs may be cooked for 3 to 7 minutes for soft-boiled eggs and 6 to 10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs, depending on how vigorously you boil them. They are hearty and healthy as a snack; we prefer ours with a dash of spicy sauce and a sprinkling of salt.
Additionally, you can slice them up and add them to salads or grains for a protein boost.
Soup
You must create egg drop soup whether you regularly drink bone broth or if you merely prefer to eat soup as a warming appetiser.
To help thicken your soup, start by blending some cornstarch into a slurry. Your broth can be flavoured in any way you wish. After bringing it to a boil over medium heat, stir in the cornstarch slurry.
Finally, add the soup and whisk in the beaten eggs.
Wraps
Although tortilla wraps are tasty and practical, they contribute a lot of carbohydrates and little protein to your meal. Making egg wraps, which are essentially extremely thin omelettes, is a simple substitution.
Two eggs and 15 ml of water should be beaten together to form one. Add salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings of your choice to the mixture to taste.
Apply frying spray to a nonstick pan before adding the eggs. To create a thin, uniform coating, you might need to move the pan around a little.
When the egg is done cooking, take it out of the pan and let it cool before putting your wrap together.
