I love eggs, yolk also and eat 4 - 6 per week. When I have to recover from surgery I always go heavy on eating meat and eggs. I believe they help me to heal faster. Never tried any kind of powders.

You can sub a protein drink for the liquid in muffin recipes. Muffins are great breakfast food when you make your own and add all the good stuff.
A glass of milk is what I drink in the morning to get protein. I like the nut milks, more protein per ounce and less calories. I don't buy low fat or skim milks. All the good stuff is taken out.
Beans and rice is the perfect combo for powerful protein. We have beans and rice at least twice a week. It's easy to make burritos, casseroles, stir fry, etc using beans and rice.

Gotta sign in for a quick addition: my son uses hemp protein powder for his shake drinks. He says 1) it is NOT marijuana, 2) it's a good protein source. I haven't researched it, and don't know if it's applicable for baking, but it would be another alternate source of protein, esp if you don't do soy or whey.

My favourite unflavoured protein powder is Any Whey by Optimum Nutrition. It is expensive compared to store brands, but hold up well in cooking and is great for drinking. It tastes a bit like weak milk. Unfortunately it is getting hard to find. Now Foods makes an eggwhite protein that is good tasting, but doesn't mix easily -- they also make an unflavoured whey protein, but I haven't tried it.
For flavoured protein powders, I go with Body Fortress whey protein powder from Walmart. I've tried many different brands, and this one is as good as any, and the price is certainly right. I haven't tried it for cooking but whey protein holds up well under heat so it should be fine.

I use an unflavored protein powder when I make some baked goods such as muffins. It tends to add a dryness to the finished good so I add mashed ripe banana for extra moistness.

I don't think the author meant that egg whites don't contain protein but rather egg white powder is different from what is commonly known as protein powder. Protein powder can have the main ingredient as soy, whey, egg white etc but it also has other ingredients and can come in flavors. There are some protein powders that are unflavored a well. Many protein powders contain some form of sweetener. Read the ingredients.
