Anyone else can chime in.Including Josecuervo.It was in reference to your question.It's long been known that whey is superior to egg or any other single protein source but it is considered a supplement not a food.Cooking eggs denatures much of the protein anyway.Rendering it useless.

For the_advisor.You're actually completely wrong.Why don't you follow the links that I provided.I don't really care about your opinion because that's the reason I'm posting this in the first plave.Opinion cannot supercede fact in this case.And I have a brand that I've been using for ten years so suggestions of brands aren't necessary.That one is hydrolized so it's already broken down to di-tri peptides.I won't give the name because someone will report me for advertising.So any fiture responses involving opinion will just be ridiculed and laughed off the face of the earth.

Yep, whey protein is nature's richest source of biologically active protein. Whey protein contains all the amino acids your body needs in the best balance yet found in any food.

But make sure that the manufactuer of the brand you use do not use 101 additives in the powder, that would be of no health benefit.

You can take it if you want, but if you're eating a balanced diet, it's not very likely that you're protein deficient. The best thing to do would be to educate yourself about vegetarian (or even vegan, since your diet leans in that direction) nutrition. A good book to read would be "Becoming Vegan" by Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina. They are both registered dietitians. If you're eating what is essentially a balanced vegan diet, along with some dairy, you can get all the nutrients you need from food (withe the exception of B12 - fortified foods may not be enough and taking a supplement is a wise choice.) A veg formulated multivitamin daily wouldn't be a bad idea either. Someone suggested adding nutritional yeast to your diet. You don't have to get Red Star brand, but make sure that it says Red Star Vegetarian Support Formula somewhere on the label (Whole Foods sell the NOW brand in the supplements section and it is the same thing as Red Star if you check the label.) I like it in scrambled tofu and sprinkled over popcorn. You can also make "cheesy" sauces with it and it's chock full of B vitamins.

I've actually heard that fish protein is the highest biological valued protein.(di-peptides and tri-peptides). This "pre-digested" protein is very soluble and very easy for the human digestive tract to absorb. Studies on human nutrition have revealed that the human digestive tract rapidly absorbs di-peptides and tri-peptides.

Many people are allergic to Whey and Egg so the next best Protein is found in either Fish,Rice protein,pea or hemp.
