Anyone have any experience with the different brands of egg proteins and possibly have any recommendations?I think I'm finally coming to the realization (AKA, not just stubbornly insisting it can't be so) that I may have a slight intolerance to whey.. I've been using TN's WPI for a couple of years and it seems like every time I use it, the next morning and most of the day I have stuffy sinuses and sinus drainage. Pretty classic whey issue symptoms. So my next thought is giving an egg protein a spin.
How much of an insulin spike are you likely to get from egg white powder. I sometimes fall short on protein consumption and need something on the go in the form of a shake, but I'm wary of whey to do this on ULC phases.

Highly likely.
why is it ok to eat egg whites, but not egg white powder though? is it a case of added fat in the whole egg which tames the insulin response?

Everything I've seen on egg powders is that it falls between whey and casein, in regards to an insulin response.As in, less than whey, more than casein.

The powder creates a higher insulin response for the same reason that any protein powder will, over a whole food. Making it into a powder is partially "pre-digesting" it for you, making it a quicker uptake in the blood.
Dymatize egg white powder isn't to shabby.
Thanks!Do you have any comparative experience with like ON, MRM, or Healthy N Fit?

You got it backwards, and no one said it was okay to just eat egg whites. Adding egg whites to meal with fats (unless on a CN or BL), to increase protein content but with the already added fats.
I don't know if this applies to you but hopefully it helps. I've used various WPIs for the last few years. I had no idea it was affecting my stomach until I started taking a Grass Fed whey protein powder that a friend of mine was selling. It was a pyramid scam (flame me, please...), but I bought it as a favor. To my surprise, it was actually a quality product. But the best part for me was no more protein farts and no more staying near bathrooms for the first hour post shake just in case. Since then, I've found an affordable supplier of grass fed whey where I can buy in bulk and have had no problems. It's more expensive but might be worth a try.
