Protein quality: What is it, what affects it, and how much does it matter?

Very interesting, especially the raw vs. cooked egg outcome looked at over time.
Definitely assumed the lower digestability of raw would corelate to hypertrophy outcome.
I was pretty clear on everything else, but that part did surprise me.

Thanks for posting.
the TL/DR is that protein quality and availability is only critical if overall protein intake in the diet is marginal. Consequently, in a diet with abundant protein, the difference between 15 grams of available high quality protein (5 raw eggs) and 30 grams (5 cooked eggs) is not significant
