#5 of 7 in Eggs · scored 75/100
Liquid egg white is pasteurized, ready-to-use egg white without added whipping agents, providing pure protein with minimal calories and no fat or cholesterol. It serves as a convenient protein source for muscle maintenance and metabolic health.
These are the scored components, not a sum: the published score also reflects normalisation across the catalog, so the parts above will not add to 75.
Less a 2.0 anti-nutrient penalty (high sodium).
Liquid egg whites are processed egg whites that have been pasteurized for food safety and packaged for convenience without additives like gums or stabilizers. Originating from industrial egg processing, they retain the nutritional integrity of whole egg whites—primarily high-quality complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids. Per 100g, liquid egg whites deliver approximately 10-11g of protein with negligible fat (<0.2g) and carbohydrates, making them exceptionally nutrient-dense for longevity-focused diets. The protein is easily digestible and has one of the highest biological values among food proteins, supporting lean muscle preservation critical for aging adults. Egg whites also contain ovalbumin and ovotransferrin, proteins with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. The absence of added whipping agents preserves the pure nutritional profile, avoiding unnecessary emulsifiers or stabilizers. Liquid egg whites are particularly valuable for those prioritizing protein intake while minimizing caloric density, supporting metabolic health, satiety, and muscle protein synthesis—key factors in healthy aging and longevity.
Complete protein containing all essential amino acids, particularly rich in leucine which activates mTOR pathway for muscle protein synthesis; supports sarcopenia prevention in aging
High protein-to-calorie ratio triggers gut peptides like PYY and GLP-1, enhancing satiation signals while remaining low in total energy density
Zero cholesterol and negligible fat content makes it ideal for those managing lipid profiles; pure protein without atherogenic lipids
Ovalbumin and ovotransferrin possess inherent antioxidant activity and can chelate iron, supporting oxidative stress reduction
Pure protein with zero carbohydrates prevents glucose spikes; protein-induced thermogenesis increases metabolic rate by 20-30% of calories consumed
Post-workout consumption (within 2 hours of exercise) maximizes muscle protein synthesis window when mTOR pathway is activated; 20-30g liquid egg white provides optimal leucine dose for anabolic response
Breaks a fast
While not compatible with strict fasting (contains protein which triggers minimal insulin), liquid egg whites are appropriate during eating windows and particularly valuable post-resistance training or endurance exercise
