in a nutshell, soy has lots more stuff in it which may be cancer protective, but also has stuff in it which could have oestrogenic effects

so whey is a better option....caesin and albumin are the best in terms of protein quality, but whey digests more quickly

No way bro.....you need a variety of proteins........soy in moderation is perfectlly acceptible and wont turn you into "man-boobs"

Definitely won't give anyone tits.

Soy can lower estrogen. This has been proven. In fact, the reason it's recommended for women is because it helps prevent cancer by it's anti-estrogenic properties.

Soy + whey = excellent AA profile.

Hahaha, okay fellas, you guys can have all the soy you want.

Here and there won't hurt, but to make it a staple of your protein intake is NOT something I would do.

However, to each his/her own.

something like 25% soy and 75% whey is a good (and cheap) combination

I have one scoop a day.........soy isolate with my oats.....whey in after training and a slow-digeting (casein usually) in bed...........gotta have that mix, the body becomes accustomed way too easily.........

Cool, cool.

Both are fine. I use whey myself, its cheap, available, and high-quality. The phytoestrogens in soy stick to the receptors in your bones much better than the receptors elsewhere; meaning you shouldnt get tits from using it. I wouldn't go overboard with the soy just to be on the safe side. Soy generally causes a larger increase in IGF-1, however (I believe most plant proteins do).

It's all a matter of preference. I prefer red meat/chicken/fish/eggs/w.p.i...........

Plant proteins and incomplete sources of proteins don't really appeal to me.

Soy has all the essentials I believe...

Soy has all the essentials I believe...

it does......I do agree with SC, however, once a day is about all you need.....stick with meat sources, eggs, milk, etc for the rest of your intake.....I sometimes use it post training, as many of the ones I find have some carbs, fats, and sugars tossed into the mix as well........

 

[~SC~]

Right, that is why I was referring to it in the plant category, not so much the incomplete category. I believe it to pale in comparison to the other forms mentioned.

I like an omelette with tofu a couple of day a week - great stuff. Never used soy derived pro-powders but would never worry about phytoestrogens - research is very inconclusive one the matter at this point. Besides can we gear up some studies on healthy individuals, not some pregnant and menopausal rate, or women at best.
