No, 2 eggs do not contain enough protein for optimal muscle protein synthesis following a workout. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the optimal amount of high-quality protein for muscle protein synthesis post-workout is 20-30 grams [
1]. The average large egg only contains 6.5 grams of protein, so if a person were to eat 2 large eggs, this would leave them short by 7-12 grams [
2].
That said, this protein shortfall could be easily made up by combining 2 eggs with 2 pieces of whole-wheat toast, which would provide an additional 7.2g of protein as well as carbohydrate for replenishing muscle glycogen. Find more information on post-workout nutrition needs
