• Methionine: 390mg
• Phenylalanine: 680mg

Protein quality — why eggs are the gold standard

Biological Value (BV) measures how efficiently body uses dietary protein. Eggs score 100 (reference standard). Milk scores 91. Beef scores 80. Wheat scores 54. This means every gram of egg protein is near-fully utilized for muscle repair, enzyme production, and cell maintenance — more than any other natural food.

Common protein math — meal planning

Bodybuilder cutting (2500 cal, 180g protein)

6 whole eggs = 37.8g | 4 egg whites = 14.4g | Total eggs contribution = 52g (29% of daily protein)

Office worker (2000 cal, 80g protein)

2 boiled eggs breakfast = 12.6g (16% daily)

Student athlete (2800 cal, 140g protein)

3 eggs breakfast + 2 eggs snack = 31.5g (22% daily)
