Re: The Big, Bad Soybean
I definitely agree about the carbs and soy thing; soy products really only comes into my diet in the PWO window with the exception of tofu, which I will eat at other times. I don't actually eat a huge amount of soy; a good part of my protein intake comes from a mix of protein powders and definitely eggs. When I'm home its more cottage cheese b/c its easier and quicker than cooking eggs, but at school I can get hard boiled eggs by the dozen. Mix with salsa or some jalapeno peppers and it's a lean protein staple food for me.
And thanks for the thread Bjs, it is a good read and identifies an important potential vitamin deficiency as well as highlighting some legitimate concerns about animal testing. I stopped eating meat more due to the relative inefficiency of meat production as opposed to any aversion to animal cruelty, but there are some very good arguments on that side of the coin as well.
