Whey has a fantastic amino acid profile, and is absorbed by the body very quickly, which is good and bad: since it gets into your bloodstream so fast, it is a superb source for a post workout meal and for recovery, but it is not good as a steady supply of nutrition for the whole day. Sources such as meat (all kinds), milk and eggs have excellent profiles as well, but are absorbed at a much slower rate. Therefore, they are superior to whey for daylong amino acid delivery. There are some studies that show that soy protein may help reduce the risk of breast cancer, and possibly reduce the symptoms of menopause, but it falls very short of any benefit when it comes to helping your body with training. The biggest thing to remember is watching the fat content while consuming different forms of protein. Good Luck...............Michael

rpacheco Posts: 3,770 Joined: 2001/12/13	2002/01/09, 05:09 PM No. However, consuming too much protein without exercising increases stress on your body. The excess protein becomes toxic. The recommended daily allowance is 0.36 grams for every pound of bodyweight. Protein should also make up approximately 15% of your total daily caloric intake, according to the RDA. One thing to remember, protein alone does not build muscle! Working out, a sound diet and getting plenty of rest builds muscle! Hope this helps...

Just remember that an over amount of any excess kcals will convert the extra macros to fat, no matter what their source. good luck..............Michael
