What is better whey or eggwhite powder?

What do you think works best in terms of absorbtion whey or egg white powder? They both have similar amounts of protien in them but one has to work better than the other.

They both work the same for what they are supposed to do. Whey is unbeatable for immediatly after a workout due to its fast digestion rate and egg white & milk powder is very good for example before you go to bed, as this has a much slower digestion rate which gives your body a supply for a few hours longer than whey which is typically in your system for about an hour, hence the need for a post-workout meal.

Thanx dude i didnt know this now i know why my muscles are still sore after workouts.

What about whey as a meal replacement shake? How does that digestion work?

Whey should not be used as a MRP. If you take it any time other than post-workout, it will pass through your body too quickly for much of it to be absorbed.

Whey (isolate, such as in a powder) is strictly for post-workout, egg/soy/casein (casein can be found in milk) can be taken other times because they take much longer to be absorbed.
