Difference between Soy protein and Whey?

[mrhappy]

I could not find any "whey" protien shake mix at my local store, but they had a bunch of "soy" protien shake mix. Is there a difference or is this the same stuff you are all talking about?

Can you not buy online?

I can, but I saw the soy protien at the store so I bought that. Just wondering if it's not as good.

Soy protein contains less essential amino acids, will lower testosterone levels(up to you if you want that or not) and stimulates less anabolism than milk protein.

oh crap I better throw that sh** out!!!

No reason to do that, its still pretty good protein

What good is soy protein if it is not anabolic? Is it still anabolic, but just less so than dairy protein?

I myself eat a fair amount of tofu, but I also eat and drink a lot of lean meat, fish, and dairy. I also get a fair amount of protein from nuts and whole grains.

Protein is still protein. Whey protien is more efficent than soy, but don't throw it out. Take the soy and when your done, go to whey.

Eating is anabolic=ingesting calories is anabolic=soy protein will be anabolic.

I'm still not a fan of it but if it's what ya' got...use it and buy whey, milk, or egg protein next time.

However, soy protein pisses male donkeys off....so that's something to consider, of course.
