Whey Vs Soy

[Da6212]

I am new to supplements and was wondering what is the difference between soy and whey protein? I was also wonder which one is better and why?

if youre a guy stay away from soy unless you want boobs.
even girls should use soy in moderation because it will keep their body fat up from the estrogen. but some whey products use soy, like my 100% ON whey protein has some soy in it -_-

They both have pros and cons.

Without getting into details, choose whey if you were to pick one.

It contains soy lecithin which is not the same and cannot be compared to soy protein. And it's not going to make you grow boobs boob. Any estrogenic effects would be dose and quality dependant.

Yeah, nothing about having a little soy will turn you into a woman....

Whey would still be your primary choice post workout, but nothing wrong with a little soy mixed in. As mentioned, there are pros and cons to both, so read up, and you'll find soy can have other health benefits also.
