There are amino acids to be taken during training to aid performance, and ability to carry heavier weights, for more impact lah.
For muscle recovery, try taking steamed chicken breast for dinner and sleep. Digestion of chicken meat is relatively slow, so the supply of protein for muscle recovery during rest and sleep is more constant. Fish meat digest too fast, so take during waking hours.
Also, take food with zinc and vitamins to aid absorptionof proteins, otherwise also wasted.
Go natural is my recommendation. But anyway, now all the farm chicken also got growth hormones, so also a hit or miss...........

If you decide to take L-arginine I suggest you look at those products with a sustain release i.e time released. Otherwise you would have to take a higher dose more frequently. I take it to improve blood flow. It helps with nitric oxide production. Side effects include viagara like effects

eggs are a very good source of protein like what cruxx said but if you eat too many careful of your digestion.
You can also ask johnny333 and he has already posted here too for brands to purchase and what to purchase.

Whether you are a bodybuilder or someone who's trying to stay healthy, good nutrition is essential in both cases. I'm not a bodybuilder but someone who is trying to stay healthy.
Eggs have received a bad reputation for contributing to cholesterol levels. However from what I've read it's a healthy source of nutrition, but even good things have to be consumed moderately.
Other than L-arginine another important amino is L-carnitine. This amino helps the body to convert fat to energy. Take L-carnitine with CoQ10 as they both work synergistically . L-carnitine is usually from meat sources & that's why many vegetarians don't get enough L-carnitine . If you are having problems finding a cheap, vegetarian source of L-carnitine AND CoQ10 conside trying out http://www.iherb.com/MRM-Co-Q10-100...g-Natural-Orange-Flavor-16-fl-oz-480-ml/13756
By the way, iHerb has a special going on. If you order by April, shipping by US mail to Spore is free if your order is at least above US$40

Unjustified though. It's just pseudoscience, old wives' tale.
Yes, these irritating Ah Sohs alway nagged against eating eggs without knowing the reasons.
