How about eating six eggs a day for fitness?
Here's the thing. Most people think that they want to eat eggs to keep fit because they value protein in egg white, but this is actually biased. In fact, people who exercise eat eggs far less delicious than protein powder.

First of all, it should be explained that the average daily intake of protein by bodybuilders is basically 1.8 to 2.0g/kg, which means that if your weight is 60kg, then your daily intake of protein is almost 60x2 = 120g.

Because an egg only contains 12% protein, if it is 60 grams of eggs, then an egg only contains 7.2 grams of protein, so even if you eat 10 eggs at a time, there is only 70 grams of protein. Furthermore, the protein absorbed by the human body at one time is only about 35 grams, which is equivalent to the amount of five eggs, so you should eat five for three meals a day. In contrast, a spoonful of protein powder (almost 30 grams) contains at least 25 grams of protein, that is, at least 80% is protein. If you calculate the difference between the two, you only need to drink a cup of protein powder within 30 minutes after each exercise, and then you can ensure about 150 grams of meat three times a day, which can almost meet your daily protein.

Secondly, the main component of protein in eggs is ovalbumin, while the main component of protein in protein powder is whey protein, which is most easily absorbed and utilized by human body, so the utilization rate of protein in protein powder is higher than that of eggs.

So in fact, most people don't supplement protein by eating eggs.
