soy protein

what's the difference between whey protein and soy protein? Im currently taking deca and winny, does it matter what type of protein i take?

**Dude-Man** · 12-03-2003, 12:00 AM

yeah, the difference is the amino acid content of each. I'm under the impression that whey is the better protien.

whey protein absorbs faster and soy protein slightly raises estrogen levels

yes, soy protien turns you into a girl, put down the shake, pick up a steak.

cmon guys...lol....the difference between the two proteins is the source of protein...

soy protein comes from soy bean
whey protein is milk, dairy based

yeah whey is better tahn soy, but animal protein is the best, i agree with "put down the shake and grab a steak"

I'd love to eat steaks all day, but I cant afford it. I bought these **** soy protein shakes like an idiot not thinking about it. If it raises your estrogen levels, wont this negatively effect the effects of the juice?

no its just not an optimal protien matrix for what we do

**gundam675** · 12-03-2003, 10:13 AM

soy protein has a high glutamine content. suck it up for now and dont buy it again. if u wanna replace steaks go and buy egg white protein and calcium caseinate.

**Krzylgz22** · 12-03-2003, 11:10 AM

ok, please forgive my ignorance, but what does a high glutamine content mean to me?

I buy crap cuts of meat.. all the ____ of round cuts are usually the leanest, but also the toughest, but it works... red meat the only naturally occuring source of creatine. not all the time, but I try to eat these cuts alot, and they're usually very affordable.

**monster.** · 12-03-2003, 12:13 PM

yes whey is better protein for weight training, and steaks are excellent too... i read a post a while back that if you take in too much protein from redmeat, you run the risk of gout....but no one cleared it up...so i'm not sure if that will give you gout if you just take in steak...

Whey is the better choice by far for the majority of your protein intake, but other protein sources have their value as well. Some soy protein is a good addition to your diet.

i've had better peronal experience with whey as opposed to soy protein

**Troyboy** · 12-03-2003, 02:52 PM

I read that soy protein lowers testosterone levels .

Here is a good read about Soy protein.

I have never heard of Protein having any impact on hormone levels.

Whey protein has a higher biological value than Soy also, which means its absorbed better by the body.

Regarding gout, gout is a result of excess uric acid built up in the bloodstream, and is an indicator of reduced kidney function = bad news.
If on a budget, I'd stick w/ the whey since it's easier to power down a shake than a steak... also steak costs an arm and a leg now at least here in cali. More steak also can mean higher cholesterol... just my $.02.
