We all know how important protein is to becoming taller. This is why kids of immigrants in the west grow up much taller than their parents.
However lets be more specific when talking about the quality of protein. Not all protein is created equal. 50 grams of protein from lentils is not the same nutritional value as 50 grams from whole Eggs. The reason is because each protein source has a Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS). Remember it’s not how much you but how much you can absorb. The DIAAS accounts for amino acid digestibility at the end of the small intestine, providing a more accurate measure of the amounts of amino acids absorbed by the body and the protein’s contribution to human amino acid and nitrogen requirements.
Eggs have the highest score behind Milk. However most people are partially lactose intolerant which prevents proper absorption. For this reason eggs are a safer bet.
Also Eggs are very crucial to HGH production. Eating eggs can help cause drowsiness and aid sleep because the tryptophan they contain sets the production of melatonin in motion, leading to increased feelings of tiredness
My anecdotal experience. I have 4 brothers and I am the youngest of immigrant parents. My dad is 5’3 and mom is 4’11. Older brothers are no taller than 5’6. They never ate eggs or drank milk. Me oth loved eggs. I grew up to be 6’1.
If you’re younger than 25 you still have some height gains to make.
