Can protein powder and eggs be eaten together?

Protein powder and eggs can be eaten together. In fact, eggs are a very common food. That is why the precautions when eating eggs are not that complicated. General foods can be consumed together, unless you are eating rabbit meat. It is best not to eat this kind of meat and eggs together, otherwise it will cause very severe diarrhea in the patient after ingestion.

1. Don’t eat candy immediately after eating eggs

Many places have the habit of eating sugar-coated poached eggs. In fact, that will cause the amino acids in the egg protein to form a complex of fructoselysine. However, this substance is not easily absorbed by the human body and may have adverse effects on health.

2. Do not eat goose meat or rabbit meat immediately after eating eggs.

Eggs should not be eaten with rabbit meat, goose meat or other meats. Li Shizhen said in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Eating eggs and rabbit meat together can cause diarrhea." That's because rabbit meat is sweet, cold and sour in nature, while eggs are sweet, flat and slightly cold. Both contain some biologically active substances, and eating them together will react, irritating the gastrointestinal tract and causing diarrhea.

The most widely circulated reason for the incompatibility between the two is that the digestion and absorption of protein in eggs requires the help of trypsin, and soy milk contains a trypsin inhibitor that can inhibit the activity of trypsin in the intestines, thereby affecting the digestion and absorption of protein in eggs and reducing its nutritional value.

Soybeans (including yellow beans and black beans) do contain trypsin inhibitors, which can inhibit the activity of trypsin in the human body, thereby affecting the digestion and absorption of protein. However, trypsin inhibitors are unstable when exposed to heat. During the processing of soy milk, more than 85% of them can be destroyed by boiling for 8 minutes. Although there are still a small amount of heat-stable protease inhibitors in soy milk, their activity is low and not enough to interfere with the digestion and absorption of egg protein.

What's more, even if the soy milk is not fully heated, the trypsin inhibitor in it will first affect the digestion of protein in the soy milk. Don't forget that soy milk is a protein-rich food (comparable to the content of milk), so there is no need for eggs, an "outsider", to be affected.

Therefore, soy milk and eggs can be eaten together. The so-called "incompatibility" is completely unreasonable. It is just necessary to note that in addition to trypsin inhibitors, soybeans also contain anti-nutritional factors such as lectin and lipoxygenase. Regardless of whether it is paired with eggs or not, soy milk needs to be fully cooked. Otherwise, affecting the digestion and absorption of protein is just a small matter, but severe cases may cause poisoning, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea. At present, both commercially available soy milk and homemade soy milk made by qualified household fully automatic soy milk machines have been fully heated and can be consumed with confidence.
