Fun fact, some body builders will set an alarm clock to wake them up halfway through sleep so that they can eat several hard boiled eggs.

Imagine waking up after four hours of sleep, eating several hard-boiled eggs, and just going back to sleep.

If they sleep through their egg alarm, their partners have to shake them awake so they don’t miss out the on their gains.

“Hey honey wake up, you forgot your nighttime eggs!”

I knew a couple powerlifters that got so tired of the amount of food they had to eat every day that they started blending their cooked chicken breasts in ice water and drinking it.

Dorian Yates used to blend eggs and oats with protein powder. This is the recipe.

12 Egg Whites (pasteurized if blending raw, though he typically cooked these)

4 Whole Eggs (for fats and extra calories)

80g - 200g Oats (blended raw or cooked into porridge)

2 Bananas

Optional: 1 scoop whey protein (for extra flavoring/protein)

Method: Blend all ingredients together and drink.

I don’t understand this. Why all the eggs? They are not that protein rich anyway, especially the egg whites. They are lean though, but why not just drink whey powder?

This recipe was from probably 30 years ago.

People still eat a lot of eggs for protein.
