The tone varies from supportive to skeptical, indicating moderate interest and impact in shaping opinions on nutrition for resistance training.

AgreementModerate agreement

Most discussions acknowledge and support the findings of the publication, with some referencing other studies that align with the conclusion that egg whites are as effective as whole eggs for muscle growth.

InterestModerate interest

The social discussions demonstrate moderate interest, as posters engage with the topic by sharing additional research and personal opinions about egg consumption and muscle building.

EngagementModerate engagement

Participants engage by referencing multiple studies, sharing links, and arguing points about dietary implications, showing a meaningful level of engagement.

ImpactModerate impact

The discussions could influence opinions on dietary choices for muscle building, with many referencing scientific data and expressing support for the research findings.

Abstract in brief

  • This study compared the effects of consuming whole eggs (WE) versus egg whites (EW) on muscle growth and body composition during a 12-week resistance training program in men who are already trained.
  • Both groups experienced increases in muscle mass and certain regulatory markers, such as fibroblast growth factor2 and follistatin, while reducing fat mass and other markers like transforming growth factor, activin A, and myostatin, with similar outcomes despite the different egg types consumed.
  • The findings suggest that eating egg whites alone can support muscle development and body composition as effectively as eating whole eggs when dietary protein needs are met during resistance training.]

Two new studies show similar increases in muscle growth with whole egg vs egg white consumption when combined with RT. Findings conflict with some recent acute data https://t.co/qswTlxH5gg https://t.co/GwiUEVWQkh

Back to the egg study for a moment The authors have another paper from same data set 3 eggs vs 6 egg whites -no diff in change in bench press -no diff in change in squat Conclusion from that paper a bit different (more in line w/ what id expect) Link: https://t.co/TCbhdoeufN https://t.co/DDW1RV0dAt

Alors quid des publications sur le muscle ? D'autres mécanismes pourraient être impliqués, mais ne faisons pas de cherry picking, quand on regarde toute la littérature, il y a aussi des données qui vont dans l'autre sens. https://t.co/aIbGaisuhD https://t.co/MjBTGHTMql
