How much Soy protein is too much?

[AmmunitionVx]

Hey all, I'm on a cutting Cycle right now, and today I found some protein chips at the gym,Now I think these would be a good snack for times when i'm at school or at work, the thing is there soy protein chips and I've heard Men shouldn't consume alot of soy products, these chips have about 8g - 10g of protein in them, also add to the fact that I put about 16g's of soy protein in my bedtime shake, so would about about 30g - 50g of your protein source coming from soy be bad for a 230lb male??

I'm not sure but you could consider switfhing to whey.

men should avoid soy because it increases estrogen

I very much doubt 30-50g would have any effect. The oral bio-availability of flavones is terrible, and besides there is some supposition that soy isoflavones *might* decrease estrogen in males by binding to receptor sites so they aren't available to real estrogen(I might have botched this explanation, but the idea is along those lines. I'm not a steroid/hormone guy.)

That amount of soy protein makes a nice addition to your diet, no problem.
