Title: Protein And Fat/cholesterol
Hi,
I'm 38 years old and I've
been pretty actively into
strength training for a
couple years. I've been
increasing my protein
intake gradually for a while,
and I am now at the point
where supplements are a
must. I've been using whey
protein, but the high
cholesteroal and saturated
fats are a major draw back.
I've read some articles
dissing soy proteins
beacuse they are
incomplete amino acid
protein. Does anyone have
any insight into soy protein
with perhaps an amino acid
supplement? For that
matter does the difference
between soy and whey
really matter that much? I'm
more concerned with
overall health and strength
than freeaky size. Thanks
for any help, and feel free to
email directly.

I'm not sure which whey protein you use, but mine has 45 mg of cholesterol and 1g of saturated fat. If you consider that 1 egg has 215 mg of cholosterol, I don't think the whey is going to hurt much, and the 1 gram of saturated fat isn't going to hurt much either. I generally only drink 1 shake per day, right after working out. I do know of people who drink as many as 4 of these a day.
As far as soy protein goes, I know nothing about it. I have heard from quite a few people who favor whey protein over soy.
