If you haven’t been eating eggs because of concerns about cholesterol, listen to what Jim White, R.D., health fitness specialist and Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics spokesperson, has to say: “Multiple recent studies found that the cholesterol in eggs does not contribute to blood cholesterol levels or put an individual at risk for heart disease.”

One large egg contains 6 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat, and approximately 70 calories. Eggs also include choline, an essential nutrient that contributes to cell structure and mental function; lutein and zeaxanthin, anti-inflammatory antioxidants that promote eye health; lecithin, which supports cardiovascular health and may reduce cholesterol levels; and most important, leucine, an essential branched-chained amino acid (BCAA) that can produce an anabolic muscle response and decrease muscle breakdown.
“Eggs also contain 18 vital nutrients and vitamins, such as B vitamins,” says White. And a recent study in Nutrition and Food Science found that eggs are tops in all foods for aminos since they contain a superior blend of a wide range of amino acids. They also support the rebuilding of rested muscles with vital minerals like calcium, zinc, and iron.
When eggs were demonized, the yolk was singled out. But yolks contain 4.5 grams of fat, with only 1.6 grams of that being saturated fat.
KNOW YOUR LABELS
Farm Fresh/All-Natural: Avoid, as this means nothing.
Cage-Free: Free to walk around industrial barns but not outside.
No Hormones, No Antibiotics: It’s illegal to give poultry hormones, so this means nothing.
Free-Range or Free-Roaming: Cage-free with access to the outdoors, which may be limited.
Omega-3: Given flaxseed to boost omega-3s.
Certified Organic: Free-range, cage-free, fed organic feed, and receiving no hormones or antibiotics.
Pasture-Raised: These are the eggs to get, as the chickens are raised in actual pastures with access to insects and grass, though they aren’t required to eat organic grain.
3 EASY EGG DISHES

Hard-boil 2 eggs and eat on the go with a banana.
Sauté red bell peppers and yellow onions, then scramble in 2 whole eggs and 2 whites. Add your choice of cheese.
Cut a hole in whole-wheat bread, throw some butter in a pan, and add the bread. Flip after 2 minutes, and then crack an egg into it. Fry up and serve with Neufchâtel cheese and smoked salmon slices.

Cottage cheese is the best muscle food. Cottage cheese is made from the curds of pasteurized cow's milk and can be made with various levels of milk fat. It's a great food to incorporate into your diet to build muscle mass thanks to high content of protein.

LMAO - at first I thought I was reading an alien language. I eat eggs from chickens, beef from cows, cottage cheese from cow's milk and chicken breast from.... yep chickens.

You should consume more protein in meal or before/after workout. i recommend that egg, cheese, beef are the best for muscle.
Why? Because they are the storage of protein. Protein is the most obvious nutrient in beef that can benefit anyone who is training," says Rick Hall, a registered dietitian and nutrition lecturer at Arizona State University (Tempe). And beef doesn't contain just any run-of-the-mill protein. It boasts an impressive collection of the nine essential amino acids and has a high biological value, which means it's very digestible and usable by the body, Hall explains. In fact, studies show that foods with a high biological value are what you should hunt for to repair those muscles postworkout.But beef's nutritional virtues extend well beyond protein. Beneficial minerals in beef include the antioxidant selenium, highly absorbable iron and immune-boosting zinc, with the most well-represented vitamins being thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, B6 and B12. "Several of these micronutrients are involved in energy metabolism and help the body utilize sources of fuel such as carbohydrates and fat," notes Hall. And with roughly 2 grams of creatine per pound, beef can give your body some of the creatine it needs to push some serious weight. What about the fat content? Yes, that steak or beef burger contains more fat than your good old skinless chicken breast. But some saturated fat is necessary for maintaining testosterone levels, and about one-third of beef's saturated fat is stearic acid—which, Hall says, has a neutral effect on blood cholesterol levels. Even so, this leaves a pretty big chunk of other saturated fatty acids like palmitic acid that can inflict serious heart damage. That's why nutrition professionals and even the beef councils recommend choosing leaner cuts of beef. "The leaner the cut, the more muscle-building protein per ounce," Hall points out.
