is eggwhite protein a complete protein
I am using this egg white protein that i actually like. i use milk, cocoa, stevia and the egg white protein and it makes a great shake and it's all natural. can you confirm that this protein has all the amino acids i need. here is the info i have about it
Eggwhite Protein from NOW is an excellent natural source of high quality protein. Good quality proteins contain virtually no fat or carbohydrates and rate well on the PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score), the newest and most accurate measurement of a protein's quality. NOW Eggwhite Protein contains <1 g of fat and carbohydrates per serving and rates as one of the highest quality proteins available when using the PDCAAS. A good mix of proteins from different sources provides the best results, and an excellent addition to any protein supplementation program. http://www.dpsnutrition.net/get_item_no268.htm thanks for any help.
Hello,
Yes, eggwhite protein is a very good complete protein.
any protein that contains all of the essential amino acids are considered a complete protein.
Dietary sources of complete proteins include.. meats, eggs, grains, legumes, dairy products such as milk and cheese, and Spirulina and protein shakes.

Yes, it is a good choice.
The primary protein in egg is called albumin - this is considered the standard for comparing other proteins.
And just a factoid - in German, another word for protein is "Eiweiss" which translates directly to "egg white"
enjoy the shakes!
