Men's Health reports that eggs are packed with the nutrients necessary to get ripped since they contain not only protein, but many essential vitamins and minerals.
Additionally, the affordable food has a high biological value, meaning that the body uses its protein to build muscles more efficiently than other sources.
"Calorie for calorie, you need less protein from eggs than you do from other sources to achieve the same muscle-building benefits," said Jeff Volek, Ph.D., R.D., an exercise and nutrition researcher at the University of Connecticut, quoted by the source.
It's been trendy in the past to toss out the egg yolks because of reports that they may raise an individuals' cholesterol. However, the yellow center is actually packed with vitamin B12 to help burn fat and promote muscle contraction, and has not been shown to adversely affect heart health, according to Men's Health.
Self magazine reports that eggs are also rich in riboflavin, phosphorus and selenium. Additionally, every large egg contains just 71 calories and more than six grams of protein.
