Why I feel soy is a good part of a bb diet
I know soy isnt a prefered component of any meal on the boards but I just want to give out some facts that might change some minds.
Its not optimal to use when trying to lose fat because of the high carb and fat content that is for sure but it does have some other properties that makes it interesting especialy for those of us that juices.
1. Its DIRT cheap. Even the ecologicaly grown soybeans is very cheap. You can buy 5grams of soyprotein for the cost of 1gram of meat protein(atleast in sweden and then I dont mean the leanest cuts of meats that are far more expensive).
2. All fat in it is almost exclusivly good fats((80% polyunsaturated fats mostly omega 9).
3. The carbs are SUPER low gi(25, brown rice has a gi over 65 and that is considered slow then imagine how damn slow soy carbs are). This in my oppinion makes it a ideal carb choise when bulking.
4. The protein has a complete aminoacid profile. Sure its not as good as meat but throw in some eggs or a small shake with the meal and you get all you need.
5. It has numerous health benifits including lowering total and bad cholesterol and its proven to prevent many kinds of cancer. Below Im gonna post a few studies and quotes that shows just how damn good it is
