Whole Egg Vs. Egg White Ingestion During 12 weeks of Resistance Training in Trained Young Males: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Whole egg vs. egg white ingestion during 12 weeks of resistance training in trained young males: a randomized controlled trial. J Strength Cond Res 35(2): 411-419, 2021-The primary purpose was to compare the effects of whole egg ingestion and egg white ingestion during 12 weeks of resistance training (RT) on muscle cross-sectional area, body composition, muscular strength, and anaerobic power in resistance-trained young males. A secondary purpose was to examine systemic hormonal responses. Thirty resistance-trained young males were randomly assigned to one of 2 groups: Whole eggs + RT (WER; n = 15) or egg whites + RT (ERT; n = 15).

Whole eggs + RT ingested 3 whole eggs immediately following RT, whereas ERT ingested an isonitrogenous quantity consisting of 6 egg whites immediately following RT. Before and after 12 weeks of whole-body undulating periodized RT (3 sessions per week), knee extensor muscle mass and cross-sectional area (computed tomography), lean body mass and body fat percentage (bioelectrical impedance), muscular strength (knee extension, handgrip strength), Wingate (cycle ergometer), and serum concentrations of hormones were assessed. There was a significant group × time interaction for body fat percentage, serum testosterone, knee extension, and handgrip strength with greater improvements observed in WER. There was a significant main effect of time (p < 0.05) for knee extensor muscle mass, cross-sectional area, lean body mass, anaerobic power, and all other blood hormones. There was a trend (p = 0.06) in the WER group for having a greater change in lean body mass compared with that of ERT.

Postexercise whole egg ingestion increases knee extension and handgrip strength, testosterone, and reduces body fat percentage compared with postexercise egg white ingestion, despite no group differences in muscle mass, in resistance-trained young males. Whole eggs consumption may be preferable during RT programs geared toward the improvement of muscular strength and body fat percentage.

Ingesting substances that are harmful to him without his conscious knowledge. (Yep I've thought this before but Anime anxiety reminded me of this.)

Happily eating leftover noodles or rice and oh shoot, food poisoning.

And food poisoning can actually get pretty lethal very fast and even crippling. Noodles and rice are notorious for going bad real fast. Could even be some leftover cake or something from a cafe.

Suddenly real drama where his powers might even work against him.

Even if he consciously protects his insides, if he unconsciously eats something and he doesn't think it's harmful...then it might actually harm him because he didn't think about protecting himself.

Death by food poisoning would be such a mundane way to go but man...food poisoning is no joke.

But it would work with anything he doesn't notice is a threat, like viruses. Heck, he would go down to a common flu because nobody has said he's immune to poison or viral infections or substances he doesn't think are harmful to him, like Pig god can ingest anything ever known to man and not feel it in comparison, but Saitama can feel the spice in the food affect his body. That alone tells me his physiology is entirely affected by the food he eats too.

Hell, knock the poor man out with the classic chloroform. It's not like his other senses are protected by him either, like vision. His senses are definitely his weak points, like in certain upcoming webcomic event.

Funny how the enemy just now actually thought about using poison. Oh my. Saitama wouldn't even know what hit him, an actually dangerous enemy. Apollo is legitimately lethally dangerous anti-Saitama, moreso than Garou. We also know Saitama loves good food, it would be too simple to slip anything to him even.

And wouldn't Apollo just LOVE to get his hands on ANOTHER holder of the third eye, someone who doesn't even know it consciously. Since he failed to get Psykos and he woved to get revenge on Tatsumaki. If anything, this man would love to kidnap Saitama for experimenting and he's smart enough to succeed in doing so too, because Saitama can definitely be outsmarted too.
