Egg white protein is dried egg albumen — a complete, highly digestible animal protein with an excellent amino-acid profile, and a useful option for people who avoid dairy but still want an animal source.

Whole egg and egg protein have long track records for supporting muscle when total protein is adequate. It digests a little slower than whey and is typically pricier, but it is a high-quality way to reach protein targets.
