Eat a dozen eggs a day to boost your testosterone and muscle gains

Eggs are a very powerful food in general, they are known as a super food, but when it comes to bodybuilding and gaining a lot of muscle mass they are the perfect food to have in your diet. The high protein content and nutrient-dense yolk create a perfect food for boosting testosterone levels and gaining muscle.

High protein content

Eggs contain the highest quality protein you can get; the only higher protein source is whey protein. Egg white and yolk contain about the same amount of protein.

Protein is the number one component your muscles need to grow, the better the quality, the more of it that can be absorbed and converted into muscle tissue by your body.

Hormone that increases fat

The egg yolk contains all the fats. Most importantly, it contains high amounts of healthy cholesterol. Cholesterol is what will skyrocket your testosterone levels: Testosterone is derived from cholesterol. An average egg contains around 200mg of cholesterol. To see noticeable results, eat at least 800mg of cholesterol, this is equivalent to about 4 large eggs.

how to eat so many

Cooking a dozen eggs can take a long time. You can eat eggs both cooked and raw; just be sure to eat the whole egg, the white and the yolk, to reap the full benefits.

When you cook your eggs, fry them in coconut oil or butter. Add plenty of fat for scrambled eggs. Boil them or poach them, take them as you prefer.

Add raw eggs to your protein shakes. If you can handle it, swallow them whole on their own.

extra food

For extra nutrition, mainly from the yolk, which should be a bright orange or yellow color, if it’s pale, it usually means the egg isn’t of such good quality. For the best eggs, make sure they are grass-fed rather than corn-fed. Eat organic free-range eggs. You can even get eggs that are high in omega 3s, these are the ones you’ll want for the most nutrients.

Try to eat 4-5 eggs for breakfast. Then maybe a few raw eggs in an afternoon smoothie and then some boiled eggs before bed. This will give you optimal results, giving your body a constant supply of protein and fat, for muscle growth and anabolic hormone elevation. Combine this with intense muscle building training for incredible gains in muscle mass.
