Eating whole eggs after a workout helps your muscles rebuild faster than eating just the egg whites, even if both have the same amount of protein — the fat and other parts in the whole egg seem to give your muscles an extra boost.

If you're a young man who lifts weights, eating whole eggs after your workout helps your muscles grow a little more than eating just the egg whites — even if both have the same amount of protein. The fat and other nutrients in the yolk might be giving your muscles an extra boost.

When you eat a big protein meal (100g) after working out, a larger portion of the protein building blocks for your muscles comes directly from that meal (27%) compared to a smaller meal (9%).

If young guys who work out drink a mix of 20 grams of any milk-based protein and 45 grams of carbs after a workout, their muscles repair themselves about 16% better over the next 6 hours compared to just drinking carbs — and it doesn’t matter which type of dairy protein they use.

When young men lift weights to build muscle, their muscle-building process speeds up at first but slows down after 10 weeks, even if they keep increasing the difficulty.

Eating more protein after working out makes your whole body build more protein - the more protein you eat, the more protein your whole body builds.
