I have seen on the internet people saying that eating soy among other things can increase estrogen while on cycle, if so then my powder usual ON powder is no good because it has soy in it

Any protein powder made in a GMP certified facility that doesn't use nitrogen spiking ingredients is fine.
Try aim for pure whey straight after a workout and a micellar caesin based protein and hour before bed

Does soy really cause more estrogen while on cycle?
No. And if you're taking an AI while on cycle like you probably need to it should be even less of a worry
lol bro science?? no my friend it is science. and common sense if youre frequent in the gym. and what factors might those be? protein is protein either way but the speed at which is digested and absorbed into the system can be very different. and this is not what this thread is for anyway. op like stated above if you are on cycle and running an ai like you should you will be fine no need to worry about the estrogen caused by soy that is highly debated anyhow

I responded to somebody who brought it up and corrected him. I wasn't the one to bring it up.
Factors like are you hypocaloric or hypercaloric? Pre-prandial or post-prandial? Do you train fasted or fed? Are you already getting a diverse source of orotein or only from 1 main source? Is whey or casein the only thing you're eating at those times or is there some fiber, carbs, and fat also? Etc etc etc.
It is bro science. Complete and utter nonsense. Common sense isn't found in the gym often times. That's why you have idiots packing their protein powder in a ziploc bag so 6.3799274 seconds after the workout is finished they can rush in and get that protein for da gainzzzzzz.
From the Borie et al. study:
^^^ to quote Lyle McDonald:
"So it’s not that whey gets into the system faster, it just spikes blood amino acid levels higher at the same time point (about an hour after consumption).
^^ can't post the link to reference that bc I don't have enough posts.
Maybe this will help you guys solve this dilemma:

It will block me from posting it bc I don't have enough posts. I tried linking the site in my post but couldn't.
If you google Alan Aragon or Lyle McDonald you'll get to their respective sites and they have a ton of good articles supported by the most current research.
I genuinely believe that any company with enough money to mass-advertise their product has enough money to make a quality powdered-milk extract...
Seriously, I get my whey powder from Wal-Mart. There's a specialized supplement store near my gym that sells a "better protein" for 10 dollars more.
Guess which one I bought? lol.
I'm also a Wal-Mart employee, so I get discounts for that.
Does not matter.
Anyway, I would not use soy protein.
