      Ask the workers at the supplement store. Whey is used to get to your Protein intake if you can't get that much in food. Just like every one is saying. Body builders need A LOT of protein, and I sure as hell am not able to eat that much chicken breast. haha.
      I asked the guy at the store about Whey Iso or Casein because my brother uses casein. He told me that Whey is good for post workout and is fast acting and Casein is slow acting, you would have it before bed.

      Phytoestogens...estrogens are not your friend if you are trying to build muscle. Estrogens help the female body store fat for healthy pregnancy, among other things. However, if you were a perimenopausal female, then soy protein isolate might help with the symptoms. Your mileage may vary, it doesn't work for everyone. I won't be trying it because I'm allergic to soy beans, but that's a whole other reason to stay away from it.

      ETA: this is basic physiology/biology and has nothing to do with GMOs, clean eating or anything particularly controversial in science.

      Please look at the link I provided. This ^^ is not supported.

      You want to ingest 20-25g of protein immediately following resistance training. Whey protein is an excellent choice. It's also recommended that for maximum benefit this should be taken as a 4:1 ratio of carbs to protein. Don't over do the protein in one sitting though, because you can't really utilize protein ingested above ~ 30g every 2-3 hours.

      If you lift late in the day, you should also consider having some protein right before you go to bed. Here's a study about that. https://secure.footprint.net/gatorade/prd/gssiweb/pdf/117_SSE_Van_Loon.pdf

      1. eat ANYTHING with protein
      2. lift
      3. hydrate
      4. rest properly
      5. repeat steps 1 through 4 to acquire desired results

      From my experience: Whey and creatine is an expensive waste when I have a freezer stock full of delicious chicken breasts. Too each their own though.

      "In conclusion, it appears that both soy and whey supplementation in free living resistance training men results in lean body mass accretion without negatively affecting serum androgen levels."

      Reality,

      I do not believe that you read the article or understood what I was referring to.
      I was responding to an article on Dr. Oz's approach to medicine.
      His approach to medicine is integrative and I believe in that approach.
      I have a great respect for science. I would say more than the average person.
      I have faith is in science. However, I am also a believer than science is not all of the real world knowledge out there.
      So maybe I believe in some Dr.'s that some people may call quacks.

      I only was sharing the information that I gathered on soy protein isolate not all soy proteins.
      I do not want people to get the wrong idea.
