Are eggs good for weight gain?

I've started hitting the gym seriously and my goal is to gain muscle mass and weight. My gym buddy told me to eat a lot of eggs for protein. Are eggs really effective for weight gain and building muscles?

In our times, we used to feed boiled eggs to weak children to help them put on healthy weight. It works wonders because it builds muscle rather than just adding fat. Eat them whole, including the yolk, with your normal meals.

I can only speak from my own journey of trying to gain weight. Adding three whole boiled eggs to my daily breakfast really helped me bulk up. I am not a doctor, but this worked well for my body type.

Haan na, eggs are actually very good for this. If you eat them daily with chapati or rice, weight gain slowly start ho jata hai. My brother also did this to gain some healthy muscle, quite effective.

Definitely. To gain weight, you need to be in a caloric surplus. I track my macros on an app, and adding 3 whole eggs gives me around 21g of high-quality protein and healthy fats, which helps in clean bulking.

Yes! Eggs are perfect if you want to gain weight the healthy way. 🥚💪 Try having them scrambled with some cheese or butter for extra calories. It's super delicious and works like a charm!

Eggs can help build the body's natural strength and muscle mass. Along with eating whole eggs, do regular strength building yoga poses like Phalakasana. It ensures the weight gain is healthy and distributed well.

If I even look at an egg, I gain weight! But yes, if you are genuinely thin, eating whole eggs with the yolk will definitely help you fill out. Just don't blame me if you can't stop gaining later!

No need to buy expensive weight gain powders. Just eat 2-3 whole boiled eggs daily, easily available and cheap. Mix it with your regular home food like dal, rice, and potatoes, and you will see a difference.

I am also researching about this because I am quite underweight. Do we need to eat them at a specific time, like morning or before gym, to gain weight faster? Let me know if anyone has tried this.
