Yes your trainer is right .. for muscle development, you need to have atleast 7-8 eggs in a day. You may take first set of 1 whole egg along with three whites once in the breakfast and then you may consume another set of 1 whole egg with 3 white after your workout regime. Try to consume the fat and carbs before workout and protein intake like eggs/ chicken/ paneer as per your choice post workout.

Great morning, if trainer suggesting to take 7-8eggs, he must giving your workout also to that intensity, first of all confirm with your trainer that, 2-3 egg yolks will be great for your intensity workout, because egg yolks contains more nutrients than egg white, especially good cholesterol that will help to improve your endurance

Hello user, Thank you for writing us on practo, If you are going to gym then the protein requirement will be higher for you may be that's the reason your trainer is advising you to have more eggs but we even have other foods which are also good source of protein like All types of pulses (Soya,Rajma,Chana,Chole),Low fat paneer, Tofu,Soya milk, Almond milk, Lentil soups, Chicken/Fish(Weekly Twice).So try include all these foods instead of depending only on eggs for the protein. You can include 2 egg whites everyday and whole eggs you can have weekly twice.

Next Steps

Consult me directly on practo for more information.

Health Tips

Along with the protein rich foods Try to include all the seasonal fruits and vegetables which are natural source of vitamins and minerals Keep your body hydrated with atleast 3-4 liters of water everyday Can include coconut water atleast weekly twice Include whole grains like Millets, Brown Rice,Whole Pulses, Quinoa. Avoid processed packaged and junk foods like Chips, bakery products, biscuits,fast foods.
