I too love cooked egg whites. I really love them in protein shakes too. They make them nice and cream. Its also nice to mix a couple tablospoon of flax meal and egg whites and microwave it. It kind of make a ‘bread’ and taste good with some peanut butter on it or dipped in almond milk. I’m gonna make ‘french toast’ with it one of these days.

Screw eggs and tuna. I eat half a pound of pasta and 3 cups whole milk for breakfast.
EDIT: Wait, don’t screw whole eggs. They’re cool.
Oh man, the thought of that much milk makes me gag. I just can’t do it
Hell the only reason it’s not more than 3 cups is because my glass isn’t big enough for more.[/quote]
Man, that just kills me stomach. I’m not lactose or anything, but I could never even drink milk on it’s own even when I was a kid.
For me, there are 3 ways to drink milk.
- Protein/ Home made weight gainer shake
- Cereal
- Epic milkshake with ice cream and the works

I drink the milkshakes around here. I drink them up.

Start buying liquid egg whites, they aren’t much, if any, more expensive, and it eliminates all the cracking and draining…which would be quite annoying. Try adding cheese, salsa, or veggies. An omelette will always be better than plain old egg whites.
Personally, tuna for breakfast just sounds disgusting to me.

Speaking of milkshake, guess what I’m gonna make for my cheat meal?
Heheheh
putting eggs into a shake just sounds gross to me 
sounds convenient and I’d like to give it a try, but man

Egg whites have have the highest bioavailablity rating of all protein sources and is the gold standard by which other protein standards are judged.
Tuna, while a great protein source, has several issues assiciated with it that make it not a great thing to be eating every day.
-
Mercury levels - bioaccumulated up the food chain, and tuna are top of the food chain predators.
-
Tuna are over fished and the fishery is on the verge of collapse. It would be a same to wipe out these amazing animals. So do your part and cut back on your tuna consumption.
Eat red meat from an artificially selected animal like cattle instead.

What is the BV rating I see associated with protein?
This measures the amount of protein ( or more precisely - the nitrogen) retained in the human body per gram of protein absorbed. This measure started out as a percentage - with a whole egg being at the top of the chart - 100% nitrogen absorbed. However, things got a little more confusing when Whey Protein was discovered. The problem is whey is a better source of protein than an egg - so it actually scores higher than 100. This means the percentage must be dropped - because greater than 100% does not make much sense. So, today BV is a number which lets you compare different types of protein. Here is the BV of some common foods:
Protein BV
Whey isolate 110-159
Whey concentrate 104
Whole egg 100
Cow’s milk 91
Egg white 88
Fish 83
Beef 80
Chicken 79
Casein 77
Soy 74
Rice 59
Wheat 54
Beans 49

NOt to be a dick, but whey isolate and whey concentrate are “invented”, then “magically” protein powders are more bioavailable and get a higher score than real whole food.
Yea right.
Please tell me how a scoop of dried out powder is better than an egg or a steak,etc.
You can believe what you want, but I’ll stick to real whole food for most of my protein sources. I use powders sparingly, 1 shake a day postworkout and if a time pinch at best.
And eat the whole damned egg.
If you are getting good quality fresh omega 3 organic eggs raw is the best way to go.
The last thing I read about tuna and mercury said you can safely eat like 1-2 cans a day without worry.

So, Egg Yolk must score higher than 100.
Do you know the BV of egg yolk? Half the protein is in the yolk, so 112?

Maybe the fat in the egg yolk makes it more BV? In nature, most sources of protein are accompanied by fat
