Egg Protein as a Source of Power, Strength, and Energy
Ok, I know that one was funded by the National Egg board or whatever but it is worth a read.
New research shows high-quality protein in eggs contributes to power, strength and energy
The Nutrition Today review analyzes more than 25 protein studies and concludes that the all-natural, high-quality protein in eggs contributes to strength, power and energy in the following ways:
- Sustained energy: The protein in eggs provides steady and sustained energy because it does not cause a surge in blood sugar or insulin levels, which can lead to a rebound effect or energy “crash” as levels drop. Eggs are a nutrient-rich source of high-quality protein and provide several B vitamins required for the production of energy in the body, such as thiamin, riboflavin, folate, B12 and B6.
- Muscle strength: Dietary protein intake directly influences muscle mass, strength and function in people of all ages. One egg provides more than six grams of high-quality protein (13 percent of the Daily Value), which can help individuals build and preserve muscle mass, and help older adults prevent muscle loss. Eggs are also rich in leucine, an essential amino acid that contributes to the muscle’s ability to use energy and aids in post-exercise muscle recovery.
- Gold-standard protein: The high-quality protein in eggs provides all of the essential amino acids our bodies need to build and maintain muscle mass. In fact, the quality of egg protein is so high that scientists frequently use eggs as the standard for evaluating the protein quality of other foods.(5)

Eggs are good for you, just watch for cholesterol. The yoke has a lot of it.
Ketchup is good for you, although it has too much sugar. Look for the lighter version.
This link has great healthy recipes for eggs. I've done some myself.

Many diets include just plain hard boiled eggs. Peel and eat with a little salt and pepper or slice on salad. Ketchup will not hurt you, except it does have sugar in it, as an ingredient along with tomato, salt and vinagar.

eggs are good for you….if you want to fry eggs or scramble eggs use a non-stick spray such as Pam. boiled and poached eggs are also an option. ketchup and mustard are both a non fat low cal option for condiments.
